. .Nx*M \*V will run on the 25 MHz 68040-based .Tn NeXT workstations. The Turbo (33 MHz) models are not supported. The 68030 model is not supported. .Nx*M \*V does not have any local disk support, so you must netboot and run diskless.

p The minimum configuration requires 4 MB of RAM and a network server capable of netbooting .Nx*M . Serial consoles are poorly supported by the hardware, see the FAQ for help. Typically it is just easier to use the NeXT monitor and keyboard. .Lk http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/next68k/faq.html . .Ss2 Supported hardware .(bullet -offset indent CPUs .(bullet -compact 68040-25 2-bit grayscale (NeXTcube) t 68040-25 2-bit grayscale (NeXTstation) t 68040-25 16-bit color (NeXTstation Color) .bullet) t RS232 interfaces .(bullet -compact on-board A and B serial ports
