5. Configuring NetBSD
|
||||
|
||||
Configuring your NetBSD system requires editing the /etc/rc.conf
|
||||
file. Most of this file is fairly self-explanatory, but you
|
||||
can `man rc.conf' for further explanations. Remember to set
|
||||
`rc_configured' to YES so you will boot multi-user, set `hostname'
|
||||
and possibly `defaultroute', and add an ifconfig_int for your
|
||||
interface <int>, along the lines of
|
||||
|
||||
ifconfig_de0="inet 123.45.67.89 netmask 255.255.255.0"
|
||||
|
||||
or, if you have myname.my.dom in /etc/hosts:
|
||||
|
||||
ifconfig_de0="inet myname.my.dom netmask 255.255.255.0"
|
||||
|
||||
You will also want either to run named or add an /etc/resolv.conf
|
||||
file (`man resolv.conf' for information on this), use `vipw' to add
|
||||
accounts to your system, edit /etc/aliases to forward root mail to
|
||||
the right place (run `newaliases' afterwards) and edit /etc/rc.local
|
||||
to run any local daemons you use.

If the system does come up, congratulations, you have successfully

installed NetBSD _VER. When you first boot into NetBSD, it will

automatically drop you into single-user mode with the root filesystem

mounted read-write. The system will ask you to choose a shell. Simply hit

return to get to a prompt. If you are asked for a terminal type, respond

with 'vt220' and hit return. At this point, you need to configure at least
|

one file in the /etc directory. Change to the /etc directory and take a

look at the /etc/rc.conf file. Modify it to your tastes, making sure that
|
||||
you set "rc_configured=YES" so that your changes will be enabled and a
|
||||
multi-user boot can proceed. If your /usr directory is on a separate
|
||||
partition and you do not know how to use 'ed' or 'ex', you will have to
|
||||
mount your /usr partition to gain access to 'vi'. Do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
mount /usr
|
||||
export TERM=vt220
|
||||
|
||||
You can then edit /etc/rc.conf with 'vi'. When you have finished, type
|

'exit' at the prompt to leave the single-user shell and continue with the
|
||||
multi-user boot. You should log in as "root" at the login prompt. There
|

is no initial password, but if you're using the machine in a networked
|

Once you've got the operating system running, there are a few
|
||||
things you need to do in order to bring the system into a propperly
|
||||
configured state, with the most important ones described below.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. Configuring /etc/rc.conf
|
||||
|
||||
If you haven't done any configuration of /etc/rc.conf, the system
|
||||
will drop you into single user mode on first reboot with the
|
||||
message
|
||||
|
||||
/etc/rc.conf is not configured. Multiuser boot aborted.
|
||||
|
||||
and the root filesystem mounted read-write. When the system
|
||||
asks you to choose a shell, simply hit return to get to a
|
||||
prompt. If you are asked for a terminal type, respond with
|
||||
'vt220' (or whatever is appropriate for your terminal type)
|
||||
and hit return. At this point, you need to configure at least
|
||||
one file in the /etc directory. Change to the /etc directory
|
||||
and take a look at the /etc/rc.conf file. Modify it to your
|
||||
tastes, making sure that you set "rc_configured=YES" so that
|
||||
your changes will be enabled and a multi-user boot can
|
||||
proceed. If your /usr directory is on a separate partition
|
||||
and you do not know how to use 'ed' or 'ex', you will have to
|
||||
mount your /usr partition to gain access to 'vi'. Do the
|
||||
following:
|
||||
|
||||
mount /usr
|
||||
export TERM=vt220
|
||||
|
||||
If you have /var on a seperate partition, you need to repeat
|
||||
that step for it. After that, you can edit /etc/rc.conf with
|
||||
'vi'. When you have finished, type 'exit' at the prompt to
|
||||
leave the single-user shell and continue with the multi-user
|
||||
boot.
|
||||
|
||||
Other values that need to be set in /etc/rc.conf for a networked
|
||||
environment are `hostname' and possibly `defaultroute', furthermore
|
||||
add an ifconfig_int for your interface <int>, along the lines of
|
||||
|
||||
ifconfig_de0="inet 123.45.67.89 netmask 255.255.255.0"
|
||||
|
||||
or, if you have myname.my.dom in /etc/hosts:
|
||||
|
||||
ifconfig_de0="inet myname.my.dom netmask 255.255.255.0"
|
||||
|
||||
To enable proper hostname resolution, you will also want to add an
|
||||
/etc/resolv.conf file or (if you are feeling a little more
|
||||
adventurous) run named. See resolv.conf(5) or named(8) for more
|
||||
information.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Logging in
|
||||
|
||||
After reboot, you can log in as "root" at the login prompt. There
|
||||
is no initial password, but if you're using the machine in a
|
||||
networked environment, you should create an account for yourself
|
||||
(see below) and protect it and the "root" account with good
|
||||
passwords.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. Adding accounts
|
||||
|
||||
Use the `vipw' command to add accounts to your system, DO NOT
|
||||
edit /etc/passwd directly. See adduser(8) for more information
|
||||
on the process of how to add a new user to the system.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
4. The X Window System
|
||||
|
||||
If you have installed the X window system, look at the files in
|
||||
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc for information.
|
||||
|
||||
On NetBSD/i386 and NetBSD/arm32, you will need to set up a
|
||||
configuration file, see /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.eg for an
|
||||
example. See http://www.xfree86.org/ and the XFree86 manual page
|
||||
for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
NetBSD/pmax _VER uses an X11R5 X server. These servers cannot read
|
||||
the compressed fonts which are shipped with standard X11R6
|
||||
configurations. You must take post-installation steps to make the
|
||||
X11R5 server work with the fonts that are standard for X11R6.3.
|
||||
The distribution file /usr/X11R6/bin/README.pmax contains
|
||||
information on how to choose an Xserver and how to access
|
||||
compressed fonts via a font server or to decompress the X fonts
|
||||
after installation. Please follow the directions there.
|
||||
|
||||
Don't forget to add /usr/X11R6/bin to your path in your shell's dot
|
||||
file so that you have access to the X binaries.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
5. Installing 3rd party packages
|
||||
|
||||
There is a lot of software freely available for Unix based systems,
|
||||
which usually runs on NetBSD, too, sometimes with some
|
||||
modifications. The NetBSD packages collection incorporates any such
|
||||
changes necessary to make that software run on NetBSD, and makes
|
||||
the installation (and deinstallation) of the software packages
|
||||
easy. There's also the option of building a package from source, in
|
||||
case there's no precompiled binary available.
|
||||
|
||||
Precompiled binaries can be found at
|
||||
|
||||
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/
|
||||
|
||||
Package sources for compiling packages can be obtained by
|
||||
retrieving the file
|
||||
|
||||
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/pkgsrc.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
and extracting it into /usr/pkgsrc. See /usr/pkgsrc/README then for
|
||||
more information.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
6. Misc
|
||||
|
||||
- To adjust the system to your local timezone, point the /etc/localtime
|
||||
symlink to the appropriate file under /usr/share/zoneinfo.
|
||||
|
||||
- Edit /etc/aliases to forward root mail to the right place (run
|
||||
`newaliases' afterwards)
|
||||
|
||||
- The /etc/sendmail.cf file will almost definitely need to be adjusted;
|
||||
files aiding in this can be found in /usr/share/sendmail. See the
|
||||
README-file there for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
- Edit /etc/rc.local to run any local daemons you use.
|
||||
|
||||
- Many of the /etc files are documented in section 5 of the manual; so
|
||||
just invoking "man <filename>" is likely to give you more information on
|
||||
these files.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed NetBSD 1.2. When you
|

reboot into NetBSD, you should log in as "root" at the login prompt.

that discusses it.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed NetBSD _VER.
