5 runs on all i486 or later PC-compatible systems with 1 to 32 processors.
6 The minimal configuration for a full, standard installation is 32MB of RAM
7 and 250MB of disk space.

9 NetBSD requires a numeric co-processor.
10 The target system must
11 have one of the following processors:
12 .(bullet
13 an i486DX or compatible
14 .It
15 an i486SX with an i487 numeric co-processor installed
16 .It
17 a Pentium compatible or later processor
18 .bullet)
19 On systems with under 32MB of memory, a custom
20 installation of NetBSD can be performed manually.
21 That procedure is not documented here.

666 Drivers are
667 .Em not
668 present in kernels on the distribution floppies.
669 Except as noted above, all drivers are present
670 on all disks.
671 Also, at the present time, the distributed kernels
672 support only one SCSI host adapter per machine.
673 .Nx
674 normally
675 allows more, though, so if you have more than one, you can use all of
676 them by compiling a custom kernel once
677 .Nx
678 is installed.

680 Support
681 .Em is
682 included in the
683 .Li GENERIC
684 kernels,
685 although it is not in the kernels which are on the distribution floppies.
686 .It [b]
687 Devices require BIOS support for PCI-PCI bridging on your motherboard.
688 Most reasonably modern Pentium motherboards have this support,
689 or can acquire it via a BIOS upgrade.
690 .It [m]
691 Devices are only supported by MCA-enabled kernels.
