Support for the SEGA Broadband Adapter
-
Marcus Comstedt and Jason Thorpe have added support for the SEGA
Broadband Adapter to the NetBSD/dreamcast port. This allows
NetBSD/dreamcast to run from an NFS root file system. In
addition to the Broadband Adapter, the keyboard and display
console support has been improved.
A session transcript
from a telnet login to a Dreamcast running NetBSD on an NFS
root is available. The kernel was loaded over the Broadband
Adapter using Marcus' IP-slave boot loader.
