9: about="""
10: NetBSD/hp300 is the port of NetBSD to Hewlett-Packard 9000 Series 300 and 400
11: workstations. It runs on almost all workstations from this generation. Series
12: 700 and 800 workstations are not currently supported, but work is underway on
13: [[NetBSD/hppa|hp700]].
14:
15: NetBSD/hp300 is based on work done by David P. Davis at the University of
16: California, Berkeley and the Systems Programming Group at the University of Utah
17: Department of Computer Science, beginning in the mid-80's. It was imported into
18: the NetBSD source tree on May 13, 1993. Special thanks are extended to David and
19: the Systems Programming Group for their work. Without it, the port would not
20: exist.

24: supported_hardware="""
25: All systems with a FPU are supported in NetBSD/hp300 (this excludes the 310 and
26: 332). Systems marked with a "*" do not support the built-in framebuffer. You
27: will need to [[set up a serial console|hp300faq#serial400]] on these
28: machines.
29:
30: The minimal configuration for a NetBSD/hp300 system requires 4M of RAM and about
31: 40M of disk space. For a full installation (including source and X11), at least
32: 8M of RAM and 200M of disk space are recommended.

54:
55: Some specific configurations of the above models don't support a local console.
56: The 425e (and some rare 4XXt and 4XXdl machines) have their graphics device on
57: the SGC bus, which is currently unsupported. Also, to use local console on a
58: Series 400 workstation, you must currently use a HP-HIL keyboard/mouse (instead
59: of Domain keyboard/mouse).

199: * bootloader problems:
200: * turns screen black if the graphics device is unsupported (e.g. 425e, 382,
201: 362, 98705, or 98702 console)
202: * is very slow when connecting to some linux nfs servers, due to mismatched

204: * SYS_INST (installer) problems:
205: * Doesn't do error checking on disklabel entries
206: * very slow nfs transfers of miniroot (particularly from linux)
207: * doesn't support streaming from ct devices (such as the 9145)
208: * hangs if filename of miniroot on server is wrong
209:
210: Items that already have support, but need to be rewritten.
