Some notes on NetBSD 7
Hi,
I've been trying to find some time to test NetBSD 7 more extensively on
mac68k hardware. Since most of my gear is in storage and my main mac68k
machine was not stable, I hadn't had time to test much. However, since
removing the NewerTech Quadra Overdrive, my Quadra 610 now appears to be
stable again.
fsck is funny. If run on a small filesystem, it seems fine. If run on a
large filesystem (or perhaps a more populated one), it dumps core with a
floating point exception (!) This also happens on my Amiga, so it's an
m68k issue.
iostat shows:
tty sd0 CPU
tin tout KB/t t/s MB/s KB/t t/s MB/s KB/t t/s MB/s us ni sy in id
0 8 0.000 0 0.000 0.000 0 0.000 18.29 35 0.630 33 8 55 2 3
0 222 0.000 0 0.000 0.000 0 0.000 2.000 37 0.072 69 0 29 2 0
0 77 0.000 0 0.000 0.000 0 0.000 2.000 32 0.062 73 0 27 0 0
No idea what those other two non-devices are. sysctl shows:
hw.disknames = sd0
hw.iostatnames = sd0
Note the spaces. Hmmm... Will have to look in to this.
Booter will need to be updated soon to support 256 megs of memory in
Quadra / Centris 610 machines and 512 megs in Quadra / Centris 650 and 800
machines. Does anyone still have the tools handy to build stuff in Mac OS?
I may need some help.
That's all so far. Otherwise, NetBSD 7 on mac68k looks pretty good!
John
