driver provides support using
Zorro III RAM boards as block devices (e.g. for swap).
The z3rambd
driver supports the following
hardware:
The z3rambd
device first appeared in
NetBSD 7.0.

Currently it is up to the user to ensure that given memory board
is not used by the kernel as normal RAM. It is usually safe to pass the
-n0
and -p
parameters to
boot loader.
If the kernel is compiled without the
z3rambd
driver, it is possible to use Zorro III
memory boards as normal RAM in some configurations. However, this might have
severe performance consequences. It is advised to use Zorro III memory
boards as swap where possible.
