-Installation is supported from several media types, including:
-.Pp
-.(bullet -compact
-FTP
-.It
-NFS
-.It
-Tape
-.bullet)
-.Pp
-The steps necessary to prepare the distribution sets
-for installation depend on which method of installation
-you choose. The various methods are explained below.
-.
-.(tag Tape
-.
-.It Em FTP
-It is possible, using the
-.Ic install
-and
-.Ic upgrade
-programs in the miniroot, to extract the binary sets
-directly onto disk from an FTP server. This is by far
-the easiest installation method, as you may specify to
-have all sets extracted at once, providing that they
-are located in the same directory on the server.
-.Pp
-All that is required in this case is that you have
-network access to an FTP server. This may be your
-account on another system, or may even be ftp.netbsd.org
-itself. If you wish to use ftp.netbsd.org as your FTP
-file server, you may want to keep the following information
-handy:
-.(disp
-IP Address: ftp.netbsd.org
-Login: anonymous
-Password: \*<your e-mail address\*>
-Server path: /pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-\*V/\*M/binary/sets
-.disp)
-.(Note
-If you're not using a nameserver during installation,
-you might find 204.152.184.75 handy; it's the IP address of
-ftp.netbsd.org as of October, 2000.
-.Note)
-.
-.It Em NFS
-SYS_INST currently requires an NFS server from which to
-copy the miniroot.
-.(bullet
-This file system must be exported with root permissions,
-but may be exported read-only.
-.It
-The miniroot image
-.Em must
-reside in the
-.Sq root
-of the
-mounted file system. For example, if the client system
-mounts
-.Li server:/u ,
-then the miniroot image must reside in
-.Pa /u
-on the server. This is due to limitations in the
-file lookup code used in SYS_INST, and may be fixed in
-a future release.
-.It
-If you also wish to install the binary sets from the
-NFS server, place them in a properly exported file system
-on the server. Note that these files do not suffer from
-the same placement restrictions as the miniroot.
-.bullet)
-.
-.It Em Tape
-If you wish to load SYS_INST from tape, it must
-appear on the tape before any other files. To copy
-this onto tape, use a command like the following:
-.Pp
-.Dl Ic "dd if=SYS_INST of=\*<tape_device\*> obs=20b conv=osync"
-.Pp
-Note that not all HP BOOTROMs support booting from
-SCSI tapes.
-.Pp
-Copying the miniroot to disk from tape is not currently
-supported. However, it is planned for a future release.
-.Pp
-If you wish to extract binary sets onto your disk from
-tape, you must first place them on the tape. The easiest
-way to do this is with the
-.Xr dd 1
-command. Make sure you
-use a
-.Sq no-rewind-on-close
-tape device. For example:
-.Pp
-.Dl # Ic "for file in base.tgz etc.tgz; do"
-.Dl   Ic "\ \ \ \ dd if=${file} of=/dev/nrst0"
-.Dl # Ic "done"
-.Pp
-Note that depending on your tape drive, you may need to
-explicitly set the EOF marker at the end of each file.
-It may also be necessary to use the
-.Li conv=osync
-argument to
-.Xr dd 1 .
-Note that this argument is incompatible with the
-.Li bs=
-argument. Consult the tape-related manual pages on the
-system where the tapes are created for more details.
