- My A2000 with A2630/2 A2091 (no video upgrade) didn't work well with NetBSD
- (frequent crashes) until I disabled the RAM on my A2091s. With only 4 Mb,
- NetBSD isn't good for X, but with ECS only, I don't mind. I ended up
- patching "loadbsd" so it wouldn't pass my 16-bit RAM to the kernel. I'm
- going to create a RAM disk for "/tmp" on it later. My suggestion is to
- remove/disable the 16-bit RAM until you are sure that NetBSD is stable on
- your system.
-
- BTW, it was trivial for me to activate the second SCSI bus;
- Good work, there!
