About two decades ago, I was given a copy of NetBSD 1.1 on CD. I installed it
on my Amiga 4000/040, and it more or less worked. Except for one detail: no
matter what I did to carefully shut it down, when I booted it back up its
filesystem was utterly trashed. It was certainly not a hardware or disk fault,
as the same system ran (in fact still does run) AmigaOS and Debian m68k just
fine.
That's about the last time I bothered with NetBSD. If I want something small
for an appliance, I usually reach for either a custom Debian install or
OpenBSD.
Helpful suggestions wanted.
NetBSD 1.x
would most certainly be comfortable on the machine.
