NetBSD for the FreeBSD User - O'Reilly Media In the first installment of our new Big Scary Daemons column, Michael Lucas, a FreeBSD user, gives us a walk through of a NetBSD install. I recently came into a pile of elderly hardware, including a Digital Alpha Multia and an SGI IRIS. I've run FreeBSD for years, but never had a chance to play with anything other than x86 architectures. My first thought was to install FreeBSD on the Multia. The install went simply enough, but I discovered that FreeBSD doesn't support the Multia's TGA framebuffer video. It makes a decent enough server, if you can call something that runs like treacle in February and generates enough heat to roast burgers "decent".
