OpenBSD/MACHINE OSREV runs on any amiga that has a 68020, 68030, 68040 or
68060 CPU with some form of FPU and MMU. It should also run on
-MacroSystem's DraCo computer. The minimal configuration requires 4M of
-RAM and about 55M of disk space. To install the entire system requires
-much more disk space, and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is
-recommended. (4M of RAM will actually allow you to compile, however it
-won't be speedy. X really isn't usable on a 4M system.)
-
-Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install:
- partition: advise, with X, needed, with X
- root (/) 30M 30M 25M 25M
- user (/usr) 210M 245M 140M 175M
- /usr/local depends on what extra software you want
- swap ---- 1MB for every MB RAM ----
- -- but the sum of swap and ---
- - RAM should be at least 16 --
-
-As you may note the recommended size of /usr is 70M greater than
-needed. This is to leave room for a kernel source and compile tree
-as you will probably want to compile your own kernel. (GENERIC is
-large and bulky to accommodate all people).
-
-Starting with OpenBSD 2.7, you should be able to leave /usr mounted
-readonly on production machines, and use a separate /usr/local
-partition for packages.
-
-
-If you only have 4M of fast memory, you should make your swap partition
-larger, as your system will be doing much more swapping.
+MacroSystem's DraCo computer.
+6MB of RAM should be sufficient to boot and a minimal system can probably
+be squeezed onto a 100MB partition by installing just the minimum sets.
+To actually do much compiling or anything more interesting than
+booting, more RAM and disk space is highly recommended. About 250MB will be
+necessary to install all of the OpenBSD OSREV binary distribution (note that
+this does not count swap space!). Much more disk space is required to
+install the source and objects as well (about another 600MB).
+An AmigaDOS partition is also required to install OpenBSD/MACHINE OSREV and
+boot it, see below.
