Installation is currently only supported from the local Macintosh hard
|
|
|
|
|
drive or from an AppleShare volume (however, you may upgrade a system from
|
|
|
|
|
within NetBSD; see the section on upgrading for more details). This means
|
|
|
|
|
that you'll need at least enough room for the largest file that you will
|
1997-12-02 05:05:09 +03:00
|
|
|
have to install. This is the 8.6M base.tgz file. There has been talk of
|
1997-11-25 07:36:33 +03:00
|
|
|
allowing an install from split files. If you have the time, desire, and
|
1997-11-24 21:15:11 +03:00
|
|
|
knowledge, please feel free to add that functionality.

|
If the install is being done from an AppleShare-mounted volume, the install
|
1997-12-02 05:05:09 +03:00
|
|
|
utility must be in the same folder as the binary distribution sets.
|
1997-11-24 21:15:11 +03:00
|
|
|
|
1997-11-25 07:49:14 +03:00
|
|
|
Each distribution file is in "raw" archive format.

|
- Distribution files must be downloaded in binary mode. Common web
|
|
|
|
|
browsers may not be suitable for this task; FTP clients such as
|
|
|
|
|
Fetch and Anarchie work fine, but be sure to specify a binary file
|
|
|
|
|
transfer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The files should not be unpacked. If you have the Internet Config
|
|
|
|
|
extension installed, you can disable this in the "Helpers" dialog
|
|
|
|
|
by removing the entry associated with ".tgz" files. Other FTP
|
|
|
|
|
clients may require separate changes; consult your package's
|
|
|
|
|
documentation.

You will also need to collect the MacOS installation tools from the
|
|
|
|
|
"mac68k/installation/misc" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution:
|
|
|
|
|
Mkfs, NetBSD/Mac68k Installer, and NetBSD/Mac68k Booter. These three are
|
|
|
|
|
in binhexed, self-extracting archives as Mkfs.sea.hqx, Installer.sea.hqx,
|
1997-11-25 07:36:33 +03:00
|
|
|
and Booter.sea.hqx, respectively. Extract them as you would any other
|
|
|
|
|
Macintosh application.
