Requires:     68020+ MMU

NetBSD 7.1 runs on any Amiga that has a 68020 or better CPU with some form of
MMU, and on 68060 DraCos.

NetBSD does not, and will never, run on run on A1000, A500, A600, A1200, A2000,
A4000/EC030, CDTV and CD32 systems that are not enhanced by a CPU board.

For 68020 and 68030 systems, a FPU is recommended but not required for the
system utilities. 68LC040, 68040V and 68LC060 systems don't work correctly at
the moment.

The minimal configuration requires around 24 MB of RAM (not including CHIPMEM!)
and about 250 MB of disk space. To install the entire system requires much more
disk space, and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended. (24 MB
of RAM will actually allow you to compile, however it won't be speedy. X really
isn't usable on a 24 MB system.)

You will probably want to compile your own kernel. GENERIC is large and bulky in
order to accommodate all people. For example, most people's machines have an
FPU, so you do not need the bulky FPU_EMULATE option.

If you have less than 8 MB of fast memory, you should make your swap partition
large, as your system will be a lot of swapping. In addition, do not place your
swap partition onto a old small (and normally slow) disk!


Installation is supported from several media types, including:
  - AmigaDOS
  - CD-ROM / DVD
  - FTP
  - Remote NFS partition
  - Tape
  - Existing NetBSD partitions, if performing an upgrade 

The steps necessary to prepare the distribution sets for installation depend upon
which installation medium you choose. The steps for the various media are outlined
in the documentation.
