"x68k" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid

runs on Human68k.
There are three floppy images in the "x68k/floppies" subdirectory of
the NetBSD 1.2 distribution. One is bootable kernel-copy floppy, one
is "inst12.fs", which is used to install NetBSD/x68k for the first
time, and one is "upgr12.fs", which is used in upgrading the system
from the previous version of NetBSD/x68k.
Bootable Kernel-copy floppy:
These disks contain file systems, are bootable, and have
enough utilities on board to copy a new kernel to your hard
disk once you have it partitioned for NetBSD. They make
upgrading to a new kernel easy, because all you have to do is
get a new kernel-copy floppy with a new kernel, boot from it,
and confirm that you want to have the kernel copied to your
disk.
Installation floppy:
This disk contains the software necessary to prepare your hard
drive for NetBSD and install the NetBSD distribution. It is
not bootable, and must be used in conjunction with the kernel-
copy floppy. This floppy is named "inst12.fs".
Upgrade floppy:
This disk contains the software to be used in upgrading the
system from a previous version of NetBSD. It is not bootable,
and must be used in conjunction with the kernel-copy floppy.
This floppy is named "upgr12.fs".
There is a floppy image in the "x68k/floppies" subdirectory of the

NOTE: If you wish to install NetBSD on your whole disk, i.e. you do
not want DOS or any other operating system to reside on your hard
disk, you can skip this section and go on to the section that
describes installation, below. If you're upgrading your system from a
previous release of NetBSD, you shouldn't have proceeded directly to
the section about upgrading; you need none of the information
presented here.
NOTE: Currently NetBSD/x68k requires a dedicated disk when you install
it for the first time. In other words NetBSD/x68k cannot be installed
on the hard disk on which Human68k or any other operating systems
reside. This is because of the poor installer, and the system itself
can share a single disk with other OSs. This problem should be fixed
in the next release.
First and foremost, before beginning the installation process, MAKE
SURE YOU HAVE A RELIABLE BACKUP of any data on your hard disk that you
wish to keep. Repartitioning your hard disk is an excellent way to
destroy important data.
Second, use the Human68k "FORMAT.X" program to format your hard disk.
NetBSD needs first partition and second partition to bootstrap.
Finally, do whatever is necessary to restore order to the partition
you took space away from. If it was a DOS partition, you probably
will need to use "format" to create a new file system on it, and then
restore your important files from your backups. Other operating
systems will have different needs; most will need to reformat the
partition, and if it was their "main" partition, will probably need
to be reinstalled.
Your hard disk is now prepared to have NetBSD installed on it, and
you should proceed with the installation instructions.
What you have to do to prepare the disk is only to physically format
your hard disk by using FORMAT.x utility of Human68k to install the
master boot program on your disk. You can now proceed with the
installation instructions.

installation or upgrade depend on which installation medium you

To install or upgrade NetBSD using MO, the MO media MUST be of the

release of the NetBSD/x68k. If you have a MS-DOS (or MS-Windows) machine

Place the distribution sets you wish to upgrade somewhere in

upgrade the "base" binary distribution, and so must put the

you can do the other sets, as well, but you should NOT upgrade
the "etc" distribution; the "etc" distribution contains system
configuration files that you should review and update by hand.
