How to set up your NFS server so your Sun3 can boot NetBSD from it:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Get the Ethernet address of the client. (It is printed on
|
|
|
|
|
the console when you power-up the machine.) Add an entry to
|
|
|
|
|
the /etc/ethers file so rarpd(8) will know about the client.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Assign an IP address for the machine. Add it to /etc/hosts
|
|
|
|
|
(or the DNS or YP database on the server)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Find a copy of the SunOS diskless boot program and copy it into
|
|
|
|
|
your /tftpboot directory; then make a link...
|
|
|
|
|
cd /tftpboot
|
|
|
|
|
cp -p /usr/kvm/stand/boot.sun3 .
|
|
|
|
|
ln -s boot.sun3 C0E914C3.SUN3
|
|
|
|
|
where the link basename is the client IP address in hex.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Add the client to your bootparams database. In /etc/bootparams:
|
|
|
|
|
client root=server:/export/client/root \
|
|
|
|
|
swap=server:/export/client/swap
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Create the directory hierarchies on your NFS server. First, put
|
|
|
|
|
the *.tar.gz files someplace where they can be read. Then:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Once per server:
|
|
|
|
|
cd /export
|
|
|
|
|
mkdir netbsd.sun3
|
|
|
|
|
cd netbsd.sun3
|
|
|
|
|
TARDIR=/somewhere # (where to find *.tar.gz)
|
|
|
|
|
sh install.sh # (unpacks *.tar.gz here)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Once per client:
|
|
|
|
|
cd /export
|
|
|
|
|
mkdir client client/root
|
|
|
|
|
dd if=/dev/zero of=client/swap bs=8k count=1024
|
|
|
|
|
cd client/root
|
|
|
|
|
mkdir bin sbin
|
|
|
|
|
(cd ../../netbsd.sun3 ; tar cf - dev etc var) | tar xvf -
|
|
|
|
|
(cd ../../netbsd.sun3/bin ; ln * /export/client/root/bin)
|
|
|
|
|
(cd ../../netbsd.sun3/sbin ; ln * /export/client/root/sbin)
|
|
|
|
|
(cd dev ; sh MAKEDEV)
|
|
|
|
|
cp -p ../../netbsd.sun3/netbsd.dl60 netbsd
|
|
|
|
|
ln -s netbsd vmunix
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Customize the following files in /export/client/root:
|
|
|
|
|
cp etc/fstab.nfs etc/fstab
|
|
|
|
|
cp /etc/hosts etc/hosts
|
|
|
|
|
echo client > etc/myname
|
1994-07-18 18:51:24 +04:00
|
|
|
echo client > etc/hostname.le0
|
1994-07-14 00:45:31 +04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Export the above. On sunos, /etc/exports needs:
|
|
|
|
|
/export/netbsd.sun3/usr -ro
|
|
|
|
|
/export/client -rw=client,root=client
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Booting a Sun3/60 client:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tell the PROM to boot from Ethernet, i.e.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> b le()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To make the above permanent do:
|
|
|
|
|
Under SunOS: "eeprom bootdev=le(0,0,0)"
|
|
|
|
|
In the PROM: "q???" (see PROM manual)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The kernel is currently "hot-wired" to do a breakpoint into DDB
|
|
|
|
|
and force a single-user shell. To continue from DDB do:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
db> cont
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, to go multi user, do:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# mount -u /
|
|
|
|
|
# exit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please let me know of any errors in these instructions.
|
|
|
|
|
Good luck!
