about="""
NetBSD/amiga is the port of NetBSD to the Amiga line of personal computers by
Commodore and [Amiga International](http://www.amiga.com/) and to the DraCo by
[MacroSystem GmbH](http://www.macrosystem.de/).

Development activity on NetBSD/amiga continues at a speed dependent on people's
spare time. Currently, NetBSD/amiga runs on any Amiga <sup>[\[1\]](#ftn.gvp-accelerator)</sup><a name="gvp-accelerator"></a>
that has a Motorola 68020 or better CPU with some form of MMU, and on 68060
DraCos. For 68020 and 68030 systems, a FPU is recommended but not required.
68LC040, 68040V and 68LC060 systems don't work correctly at the moment.

Due to the MMU requirement, it will not run on A500, A600, A1000, A1200, A2000,
A4000/EC030, CDTV or CD32 out of the box. You must install a CPU board on them
to run NetBSD.

The minimum RAM requirement is about 24 MB FASTMEM, the minimum hard disk space
needed is about 250 MB, depending on how many system components you install.
Check the install document for more details.
