+NetBSD/atari 1.1 runs on a TT030 and a Falcon. Currently an FPU is
+required, although this might change in the (near) future. The
+minimum amount of RAM required is 4Mb.
+
+Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install:
+ partition: advise, with X, needed, with X
+ root (/) 15M 15M 10M 10M
+ user (/usr) 65M 100M 45M 80M
+ swap ----- 2M for every M ram -----
+ local (/local) up to you
+
+As you may note the recommended size of /usr is 20M 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, BOOT is small and might
+not have all the features you want).
+
+Supported devices include:
+ - The buildin SCSI host adapter
+ - Should support most SCSI-drives. The drives that are
+ currently tested are:
+ MAXTOR 7245S, MAXTOR 7080S, SEAGATE ST157N
+ - Should support most tape drives. The drives that are
+ currently tested are:
+ TANDBERG 3600
+ - Should support most CD-ROM drives.
+ - The buildin video controller
+ - The building (720Kb/1.44Mb) floppydrive
+ - The serial2/modem2 ports
+ - The Falcon FX memory expansion
+ - The atari mouse
+
+If its not on this list, there is no support for it in this release.
