NetBSD Explained: The Unix System That Can Run on Anything.

While Linux distributions may get the greatest amount of ink in the open-source world, people often overlook the BSD family. One BSD variant, NetBSD, has stuck around because of its commitment to portability.

Install NetBSD 9.2 on a DEC Alpha CPU in QEMU with X11

This is a guide on installing and running NetBSD for the Alpha CPU architecture on QEMU, including a GUI (X11 via VNC). It requires you to patch and compile QEMU yourself...

NetBSD - A little guide for newcomers.

Updated (2021-06-21): When I installed NetBSD for the first time, I remember I’d to collect bits and pieces of information from different places, some of which were rather old and outdated. So, I’ve decided to write this stuff down and publish it here.
Hope that it helps anyone looking to install and configure NetBSD as a laptop/desktop daily driver, if it helps one single soul, I’d be happy!
I'll try to keep this updated on a regular basis

NetBSD 10 Beta installs and testing from i386 to ARM.

I've run NetBSD for quite some time, going back to the days of Dr. Dobbs magazine and the release of the BSD4-based 386BSD (which I installed from floppy disks...). The chance of beta testing the newest release came at the end of December 2022. I had installed NetBSD-current on Raspberry Pi platforms, and also had different levels of NetBSD 9 on systems.

This story is on my attempts to upgrade or install fresh operating systems "in house". Rather than strict chronological order, the sections below are by CPU architecture, starting with the older i386 then going to Arm processors. I have not upgraded an AMD-based system (yet), and will add notes at the end when I can...

Tinkering with Manjaro and NetBSD on the Pinebook Pro: a crumbs-in-the-forest tutorial & review.

I found a used Pinebook Pro on Craigslist for $100 CAD, invented some flimsy excuse, and bought it. Then I went much farther down the rabbit hole than I expected, trying to get it functional. Here are my first impressions of the journey to get (semi-) functional Linux and BSD systems installed on the Pinebook Pro...

Swap the operating system of any remote Linux server by the one of your choice.

For a long time, I have been curious whether there were ways to swap out the operating systems of a remote server without having access to a BIOS/UEFI nor to a good cloud control panel with ISO/images loading capabilities, but only throughout a remote SSH access to an existing system...

NetBSD on a ROCK64 Board.

Long story short, I had the chance to resurrect 4 single-board computers that were collecting dust in my office. I decided to install FreeBSD on one of them and it was a success. This time I will show you how and why I installed NetBSD on a second ROCK64 board.

Installing NetBSD on the Nintendo Wii!.

It's about time for another Wii homebrew project! Because thanks to some recent developments, it's possible to get NetBSD working on this thing. Oh... and it's the latest version too!

This blog is hosted on a Nintendo Wii.

While browsing the NetBSD website recently, I noticed the fact that there was a ‘Wii’ option listed right there on the front page in the ‘Install Media’ section, nestled right next to the other first-class targets like the Raspberry Pi, and generic x86 machines.

Unlike the other outdated and unmaintained examples above, clicking through to the NetBSD Wii port takes you to the latest stable NetBSD 10.1 release from Dec 2024. Even the daily HEAD builds are composed for the Wii.

As soon as I discovered this was fully supported and maintained, I knew I had to try deploying an actual production workload on it. That workload is the blog you’re reading now...
