NetBSD mipsco/mvme162 ports

Posted by Nik on from the film-at-11 dept.

A quick glance at the NetBSD changes page will show that in the quest to get a login prompt on everything with a processor, the NetBSD team have done it again. NetBSD is now ported to the RC3230 platform from MIPS Computing, hence NetBSD/mipsco. At the same time, preliminary support for the LX200/300 variants of the MVME162 have been added to the NetBSD/mvme68k port. Has anyone ever had all the platforms that can run NetBSD up and running in the same place at the same time? Is it even feasible?

    Just about. Over at Toddpw.org there is, with pictures of NetBSD on many different architectures. NetBSD Architecture Farm I counted 11 NetBSD boxes, 2 HP-UX 10.20, and 1 iMAC with MacOS.

    Probably the most complete list of hardware running NetBSD besides Todd's collection is Herb's NetBSD build lab.

  3. The problem with getting all platforms by T-Punkt · · Score: 2

    running in the same place is that some of them are extremly rare/hard to get.

    E.g. probably less than 200 pc532 systems exist worldwide. Sony NEWS (news68k/newsmips), Sharp X68* (x68k) or LUNA (luna68k) machines never were that common outside Japan (Search the web for non-japanese informations about those!); try finding a PREP machines these days, or a BeBox or one of those machines that are able to run mipsco...
