Bull Estrella

Hi,

I've seen a previous thread about this machine, and some said it's supported
but there's no snapshot ready for it yet. Are there any news about this? I
have such a model I would like to try it on, it's running aix 4.2.1 by now.

Ciao,
 Luigi

If yours is an Estrella 200, support for that is on the NetBSD-1.6
release branch, and snapshots are available.

However, the Estrella 300 I have looks more like CHRP than PReP; in
particular, no provisions are made for the PReP-style firmware
Residual Data.  I'd like to integrate support for this machine into
the NetBSD/ofppc port, but due to time constraints that hasn't
happened yet.

Powerstack DT604-133 FW to boot NetBSD

Hi
 I have the above mentioned powerstack. It used to boot AIX, however, I
converted its firmware to run winnt. Completing that, I would like now to
boot netbsd on this machine, but understand that I will have to go back to
PPC1BUG correct?

 I do not know how to do that. Any ideas? Obviously, I do not have the
manual for this machine...

 Thanks for your time

Chris
