This section contains some brief notes describing what you need to

install

on a machine of the \*M architecture.

.if r_i386 \{\
|

appropriate pair of boot floppy images from the
|

.Pa installation/floppy/
|
||||
directory. Most people will need the
|
||||
.Pa boot1.fs
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Pa boot2.fs
|
||||
images, or possibly (but not necessarily)
|
||||
.Pa bootlap1.fs
|

and
|

.Pa bootlap2.fs
|

if installing on a laptop.

boot floppy image
|
||||
.Pa installation/boot.fs
|

and bootloader
|
||||
.Pa installation/ofwboot.xcf ,
|
||||
or the CD image,
|
||||
.Pa macppc_bootable.iso .
|
||||
You only need the floppy image and bootloader, or the CD image to boot
|
||||
your system.

.\}
|

.if r_sparc \{\
|
||||
CD image,
|

.Pa sparc_bootable.iso
|
||||
or the floppy disk images,
|
||||
.Pa install/floppy/disk1.gz No and Pa install/floppy/disk2 .
|
||||
You need either the pair of floppies or the CD to boot your system,
|
||||
unless you plan to netboot the installation kernel, which requires
|
||||
a local rarp, tftp, bootparams and NFS server and is not covered in
|
||||
further detail here.
|
||||
.\}
|
||||
.It
|
||||
The actual binary distribution is in the
|
||||
.Pa binary/sets/
|
||||
directory.
|
||||
When you boot the install
|
||||
.if r_i386 floppies,
|
||||
.if r_macppc floppy or CD-ROM,
|
||||
.if r_sparc floppies or CD-ROM,
|
||||
the installation program
|
||||
can fetch these files for you (using e.g. ftp),
|
||||
if you have a network connection.
|
||||
There are several other methods to get the binary sets onto
|
||||
the machine you install.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
You will at a minimum need
|
||||
.ie r_i386 \{\
|
||||
one of the kernel sets, typically
|
||||
.Pa kern.tgz ,
|
||||
as well as
|

.\}

.el \{\
|
||||
the following sets:
|
||||
.Pa kern.tgz ,
|
||||
.\}
|
||||
.Pa base.tgz
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Pa etc.tgz .
|
||||
In a typical workstation installation you will probably want
|
||||
all the installation sets.
|
||||
.if \n[i386] \{
|

Write the floppy images directly to a pair of floppies.
|
||||
If you have problems writing a raw image to a floppy,
|
||||
the
|
||||
.Ic rawrite.exe
|
||||
MS-DOS program
|
||||
or the
|
||||
.Ic Rawrite32.exe
|

Windows32 program (inside
|

.Pa rawrite32.zip )
|

in the
|

.Pa utilities/
|

directory may be of help.
|

.\}
|

.if \n[macppc] \{
|

.It
|

If your mac has a floppy drive,
|
||||
write the floppy image directly to a floppy disk.
|
||||
Otherwise, drag the uncompressed floppy image and bootloader to your
|
||||
hard drive icon (the top level of the drive, not the desktop). If you are
|
||||
making a CD, burn it now.
|
||||
If you have problems writing a raw image to a floppy, the
|

.Ic suntar

program may be of help.

Make sure your sparc's CD-ROM drive is bootable. Burn the CD. Otherwise,

uncompressing disk1.gz).

The disk(s) you just prepared will be used to boot the installation

Determine your machine's model, quirks, and Open Firmware version from the

|

At present,
|

.Nx*M
|

cannot exist on the same hard drive as
|
||||
.Tn MacOS
|
||||
unless you partition your disk using a
|
||||
.Tn MacOS
|
||||
partitioning utility. Open Firmware versions prior to 3 cannot boot into
|
||||
.Nx
|
||||
on a drive partitioned this way -- you must use the entire disk,
|
||||
partitioned with the installation tools. Open Firmware version 3 cannot
|
||||
boot into
|
||||
.Nx
|
||||
on a drive partitioned with the installation tools, you must use a
|
||||
.Tn MacOS
|
||||
partitioning utility and the
|
||||
.Dq Me "Re-install sets or install additional sets"
|
||||
option in the installer (selecting the
|
||||
.Dq Me "Install NetBSD to hard disk"
|
||||
or
|
||||
.Dq Me "Upgrade NetBSD on a hard disk"
|
||||
options will render your drive unbootable). If you are unsure, you may
|
||||
want to read the section below on
|
||||
.Sx Partitioning your hard drive for NetBSD
|
||||
.It
|
||||
For systems with Open Firmware versions prior to 3, you may need to use
|
||||
Apple's System Disk utility to enter Open Firmware and use your screen and
|
||||
keyboard. To enter Open Firmware, hold down the
|
||||
.Key COMMAND-OPTION-O-F
|
||||
keys after the boot chime starts, but before it ends. Entering Open
|
||||
Firmware versions prior to 3 is usually the most frustrating part of
|
||||
installation -- you may want to read the section below on
|
||||
.Sx Older Open Firmware System Preparation
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
You should have the Open Firmware
|
||||
.Dq Pa "0 >"
|
||||
prompt on your screen before attempting to boot
|
||||
.Nx*M .
|
||||
.\}
|
||||
.if r_macppc \{\
|

.It
|
||||
At the Open Firmware prompt, type the command to boot. For the boot
|
||||
floppy, the command is
|
||||
.Dq Ic "boot fd:0" .
|
||||
For the boot floppy image and bootloader on your hard drive (Open Firmware
|
||||
3), the command is something like
|
||||
.Dq Ic "boot hd:9,ofwboot.xcf hd:9,boot.fs" .
|
||||
You may need to replace both 9's with your drive's partition number.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
For boot CDs, the command is something like
|
||||
.Dq Ic "boot cd:0,OFWBOOT.XCF NETBSD.RAM" .
|
||||
You will most likely need to keep
|
||||
.Ic OFWBOOT.XCF No and Ic NETBSD.RAM
|
||||
capitalized. You may need to replace
|
||||
.Ic cd
|
||||
with
|
||||
.Ic "scsi/sd@3 , scsi-int/sd@3 , scsi-ext/sd@3 , ata/atapi-disk ,"
|
||||
or some other device alias. You should also use the Open Firmware
|
||||
.Ic dir
|
||||
command to confirm that the
|
||||
.Nx*M
|
||||
kernel is called
|
||||
.Pa NETBSD.RAM .
|
||||
.\}
|
||||
.if r_sparc \{\
|
||||
.It
|

You will need to get to the OpenBoot PROM
|

.Dq Ic "ok"
|
||||
prompt. After your system first powers on, and displays some initial
|
||||
information, press the
|
||||
.Key STOP-A
|
||||
keys. At the
|
||||
.Dq Ic "ok"
|
||||
prompt, type the command to boot your system into
|
||||
.Nx .
|
||||
The command to boot from CD is one of the following commands (depending on
|
||||
your model):
|
||||
.Dq Ic b sd(,30,) ,
|
||||
.Dq Ic boot sd(,30,) ,
|
||||
or
|
||||
.Dq Ic boot cdrom .
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The command to boot from floppy is either
|
||||
.Dq Ic boot fd(,,1)
|
||||
or
|
||||
.Dq Ic boot floppy .
|
||||
The installer will prompt you to insert the second floppy when it is ready
|
||||
for it.

For third-party programs which are not part of the base

distribution, you will want to explore the

system with its more than 2100 program packages.
