These are all on NetBSD 0.9 i386 with no modifications to the system, and they just represent source I had quickly on hand... NetBSD 0.9 uses gcc 2.4.5 I have to admit, I'm almost thinking of something like this for embeded systems, having more then 4mb of ram is common place now, and hell I like the idea of static exe's so I don't have dll issues... As the dynamic libs didn't come into play until NetBSD 0.9, right? netbsd# dmesg NetBSD 0.9 (QEMU) #0: Wed Dec 1 14:58:34 PST 2010 root@netbsd:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/QEMU CPU: i486DX (486-class CPU) real mem = 67104768 avail mem = 64659456 using 153 buffers containing 1257472 bytes of memory pc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on isa pc0: color wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wd0 at wdc0 targ 0: 511MB 1040 cyl, 16 head, 63 sec <QEMU HARDDISK> fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa ne0 at 0x320-0x32f irq 10 on isa ne0: ne2000 ethernet address 52:54:00:12:34:56 npx0 at 0xf0-0xff on isa npx0: using exception 16 biomask 4040 ttymask 2 netmask 400 impmask 402 wdc0: extra interrupt wdc0: extra interrupt netbsd# lynx -version Lynx Version 2.8.1rel.2 (1998) Copyrights held by the University of Kansas, CERN, and other contributors.
