2.4 Setting up a net-booted environment (VS2000)
All VAXen that can boot over network uses MOP, a DEC protocol.
To be able to use MOP, a MOP daemon must be present on one of
the machines on the local network. The boot principle is:
* The VS2000 broadcast a wish to load an image.
* A mopd answers and send the boot program to the VAX.
* The boot program does rarp requests, mounts the root filesystem
and loads the kernel.
* The kernel is loaded and starts executing.
You must have a mop daemon available to be able to boot.
A mopd written by moj@stacken.kth.se can be found at
ftp.stacken.kth.se:/pub/OS/NetBSD/mopd, and can be compiled
on many different architectures.
The boot program uses bootparamd for the rest of the boot sequence
in exactly the same way as SUNs does.
To set up a netbooted environment, you need to do the following:
* Get a mop daemon, and read the docs for configuration. The boot
file that shall be loaded is snapshot/boot.mopformat
* Get the snapshot tar files, and unpack them in a exportable
directory somewhere. Do also put the netbsd.GENERIC kernel
in the root of your NetBSD/vax hierarchy. Be sure you
remember to populate the /dev directory.
* Put the VS2000 ethernet number in ethers, the path to mount
root and swap in bootparams and exports and be sure to
export it. See your diskless docs for this.
* Now it shall boot up diskless.
You can use the same flags when booting over the net as when
booting from local disks; like: ">>>B/3 ESA0" will load boot
in ask state. From here you can load any file you want, even
copy and edlabel if they are located in the exported root fs.
Note 1: Netbooting of MicroVAX II/III systems with DEQNA/DELUA
ethernet does not work does not work yet because lack of standalone
drivers. Mounting of root and swap over NFS works goos though.
Note 2: Mopd won't work on VAXen with de/qe ethernet, due to the
lack of bpf support for those interfaces.
3. Booting up miniroot.
When copying is ready, bring the boot program up a third

To install and run NetBSD/vax you need a MicroVAX II or VAX 11/750
with at least 4MB of memory, and a usable install media. Supported
install media is TK50 tape and RX33/RX50 floppy. If you do initial
installation from floppy then you need a way to load the rest of
the system, like tape or ethernet.
NOTE! TU58 INSTALLATION IS NOT YET SUPPORTED, BUT WILL BE.
To install and run NetBSD/vax you need at least 4MB of memory,
and a usable install media. I can provide (on request) a kernel that
will netboot and run fine on standard 2MB VS2000.
Supported install media is TK50 tape and RX33/RX50 floppy, or over
the net. If you do initial installation from floppy then you need a way
to load the rest of the system, like tape or ethernet.
NOTE! TU58 INSTALLATION IS NOT YET SUPPORTED.
Actually, the system will run fine on only 2MB of memory, but
installation program needs 4MB. If this causes trouble for someone
tell me and I'll fix it.
Differences between the NetBSD/vax port and other ports:
* It uses gcc 2.7.0 as default compiler.
* libm is not the same as the other ports; instead it is 4.4BSD libm.
* No dynamic linked libraries, all binaries is statically linked.
These things will be fixed in the future.
