[Gnu-darwin-distribution] Via CPU update

[<pr...@gn...>]

cpu0: VIA C7-D Processor 1500MHz ("CentaurHauls" 686-class) 1.51 GHz
cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,CMOV,PAT,CFLUSH,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,TM,SBF,SSE3,xTPR

Interesting, SSE3, but doesn't boot Darwin-8.  6 and 7 appear to work
ok.  I think that people would like to have a $300 dollar computer that
runs Darwin, which is why I tried the boot disc.

Too bad about gigabit and file system stability on Darwin, or this might
have made a fine file server for the distribution.  These Realtek
gigabit nics rock, and they are also quite inexpensive.  Here's more

umass0 at uhub0 port 4 configuration 1 interface 0
umass0: NOVAC Co., Ltd. 4HDD, rev 2.00/1.02, addr 2
umass0: using SCSI over Bulk-Only
scsibus1 at umass0: 2 targets
sd0 at scsibus1 targ 1 lun 0: <SEAGATE, ST3160815A -1, 3.AA> SCSI2 0/direct fixed
sd0: 152627MB, 19457 cyl, 255 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sec, 312581808 sec total

It looks like that setup works with Darwin-8 too, although I didn't try
formatting, so it should be possible to get past the 134GB limit using
usb instead of IDE.  It is an AMS VENUS T4U enclosure with a single
Seagate drive in one of the four bays.  I didn't try it with other
versions of Darwin.
