Re: [cobalt-users] Maximum HD size for Mips system.html

[Chris Beaumont <chris@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've heard of drives as big as 250 Mb being used successfully on 
NetBSD's port-cobalt for mips. It should recognize the size. Its a 
pretty smart kernel.

Performance is visibly better than Linux 2.0 too. if you are using a 
Qube, though, powering a second drive can sometimes be problematic, 
because the power supplies aren't that beefy. Some are better than 
others. Best to have a single, large drive.
