NetBSD/hp300 Known Problems/Wishlist
Known problems with this port (aside from the missing/poor drivers listed
below):
- Items in the NetBSD/hp300
Problem
Reports database
- bootloader problems:
- turns screen black if the graphics device is unsupported (e.g.
425e, 382, 362, 98705, or 98702 console)
- is very slow when connecting to some linux nfs servers, due to
mismatched block size. See fix in the
Diskless
HOW-TO
- SYS_INST (installer) problems:
- Doesn't do error checking on disklabel entries
- very slow nfs transfers of miniroot (particularly from linux)
- doesn't support streaming from ct devices (such as the 9145)
- hangs if filename of miniroot on server is wrong
- kernel problems:
- doesn't produce reasonable default disklabels -- you'll need to
create your own from the /etc/disktab file. also doesn't do sanity
checks on your disklabels
Items that already have support, but need to be rewritten.
- console code (i.e. need support for wscons)
- X11R6.3 server (currently X11R5). Needs wscons
- standalone installer and bootstrap drivers
- ppi (printer/plotter on HP-IB driver)
- dcl driver in 4.3BSD but not NetBSD
