NetBSD 0.9 on VMWare

For notes going on about NetBSD 0.9, which was released around August 20th, 1993.

platforms

From the source code NetBSD 0.9 supported the following platforms:

  • Amiga
  • HP300
  • i386


Now that I found one, I guess ill have more 'significant notes'.

for now I've simply mirrored the install directory on my server....

mirror of NetBSD 0.9


I should also add I've had disk geometry errors with Bochs, and DMA and no ide detection under virtual box.. Virtual PC seems to just hang at the hard disk... However VMWare Fusion 3.1.1 on OS X works great!
