Re: [LUG] Sparcstation 20 stuff possibly for sale

["Daniel Palmer" <danielpalmer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd be interested in the NIC if you can find out if its a fast ethernet one, and if 
it's one that'll work with NetBSD(I think all do now).

I could possibly help with the NFS root setup, I had to do this to get NetBSD 
installed onto my SS20. I'm away from uni right now, and my boxen are at my student 
housing but I can give you the low down on how I setup all the NFS stuff when I get 
back on Saturday if you would like.

Cheers,

Daniel

Hi all,

On the off chance that anyone has a sparc 4/5/20 system out there I will 
probably have some bits available soon.

I'm converting my SS20 firewall and web/mail servers to boot NFS root from my 
PC based NFS server (less noise, less heat in the sparcs, more disk space) so 
will have the following things redundant if it succeeds:

2 * 2Gb SCA HDDs in Sparc brackets

1 * SBUS Ethernet card (can't remember whether it is a fast ethernet, will
check if there is interest.

If anyone fancies any of this then let me know.... as I mentioned, it's
subject to getting NFS root working properly.

Cheers,
