.Nx*M
\*V runs on a number of systems with
.Tn ARM6
or later processors,
with or without FPU coprocessor. The minimal configuration is said to
require 8 MB of RAM and 50 MB of disk space, though we do not know of anyone
running with a system quite this minimal today. To install the entire
system requires much more disk space (the unpacked binary distribution,
without sources, requires at least 65 MB without counting space needed for
swap space, etc), and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is
recommended. (8 MB of RAM will actually allow you to run X and/or compile,
but it won't be speedy. Note that until you have around 16 MB of RAM,
getting more RAM is more important than getting a faster CPU.)

Installing
.Nx
is a relatively complex process, but if you have
this document in hand and are careful to read and remember the
information which is presented to you by the install program, it
shouldn't be too much trouble.
.Pp
Before you begin, you should know the geometry of your hard disk, i.e.
the sector size (note that sector sizes other than 512 bytes are not
currently supported), the number of sectors per track, the number of
tracks per cylinder (also known as the number of heads), and the
number of cylinders on the disk. The
.Nx
kernel will try to
discover these parameters on its own, and if it can it will print them
at boot time. If possible, you should use the parameters it prints.
(You might not be able to because you're sharing your disk with
another operating system, or because your disk is old enough that the
kernel can't figure out its geometry.)
.Pp
If
.Nx
will be sharing the disk with RiscOS or another operating
system, you should have already completed the section of these notes
that instructed you on how to prepare your hard disk. You should know
the size of the
.Nx
area of the disk and its offset from the
beginning of the disk. You will need this information when setting up
your
.Nx
partitions.
.Pp
You should now be ready to install
.Nx .
It might be handy for you
to have a pencil, some paper, and a calculator handy.
.Pp
The following is a walk-through of the steps you will take while
getting
.Nx
installed on your hard disk. If any question has a
default answer, it will be displayed in brackets
.Pq Dq []
after the
question. If you wish to stop the installation, you may press
.Key CONTROL-C
at any time, but if you do, you'll have to begin the installation
process again from scratch.
.Pp
Boot your machine using the installation kernel for your
platform. (Instructions for doing this on your platform can be
found in the preparation section of this document.)
.Pp
If this doesn't work, ensure that you're using the correct
kernel for your hardware.
.Pp
Depending upon your platform and the method of loading the,
it may take a while to load the kernel.
.Pp
You will then be presented with the
.Nx
kernel boot
messages. You will want to read them, to determine your
disk's name and geometry. Its name will be something like
.Li sd0
or
.Li wd0
and the geometry will be printed on a line that
begins with its name. As mentioned above, you will need your
disk's geometry when creating
.Nx 's
partitions. You will
also need to know the name, to tell the install tools what
disk to install on.
.Pp
While booting, you will probably see several warnings. You
should be warned that no swap space is present, and that
.Xr init 8
cannot find
.Pa /etc/rc.
Do not be alarmed, these are
completely normal. When you reach the prompt asking you for a
shell name, just press
.Key RETURN .
.Pp
You will be asked if you wish to install or upgrade your
system or go to a shell prompt. Enter
.Ic install .
.Pp
You will be presented with a welcome message and a prompt,
asking if you wish to proceed with the installation process.
If you wish to proceed, enter
.Sq Ic y
and press
.Key RETURN .
.Pp
You will be asked what type of disk driver you have. The
valid options are listed by the install program, to make sure
you get it right.
.Pp
The install program will then tell you which disks of that
type it can install on, and ask you which it should use.
Reply with the name of your disk. (The first disk of the type
you selected, either
.Li wd0
for IDE disks, or
.Li sd0
for SCSI
disks, is the default.)
.Pp
You will then be asked to name your disk's disklabel. The
default response is
.Sq Ic mywd
or
.Sq Ic mysd
depending on the type of
your disk, and for most purposes it will be OK. If you choose
to name it something different, make sure the name is a single
word and contains no special characters. You don't need to
remember this name.
.Pp
You will be prompted for your disk's geometry information,
i.e. the number of bytes per sector, cylinders on the disk,
tracks per cylinder (heads), and sectors per track. Enter
them when they are requested. If you make a mistake, press
.Key CONTROL-C
and when you get to the shell prompt, restart the
install process by running the
.Ic install
command. Once you
have entered this data, the install program will tell you the
total size of your disk, in both sectors, and cylinders.
Remember this number; if you're installing on the whole disk,
you'll need it again soon.
.Pp
When describing your partitions, you will have the option of
entering data about them in units of disk sectors or
cylinders. If you choose to enter the information in units of
sectors, remember that, for optimal performance, partitions
should begin and end on cylinder boundaries. You will be
asked about which units you wish to use, and you should reply
with
.Sq Ic c
for cylinders, or
.Sq Ic s
for sectors.
.Pp
You will be asked for the size of the
.Nx
portion of the
disk. If you're installing on the whole disk, reply with the
size of the disk, as printed earlier by the install program.
If you're using only part of the disk, reply with the size
that you specified in the partition editor. (Don't forget to
enter the size in the units you specified in the last step!)
.Pp
If you are not installing on the whole disk, you will be asked
for the offset of the
.Nx
partition from the beginning of
the disk. Reply with the appropriate offset (again, in
whichever units you specified), as determined by how you
set up your disk using the partition editor.
.Pp
You will be asked to enter the size of your
.Nx
root partition
.Pq Pa / .
It should be at least 13 MB, but if you are going to
be doing development, 14-16 MB is a more desirable size. This
size should be expressed in units of sectors or cylinders,
depending on which you said you wanted to use.
.Pp
Next, you will be asked for the size of your swap partition.
You should probably allocate twice as much swap space as you
have real memory. Systems that will be heavily used should
have more swap space allocated, and systems that will be
lightly used can get by with less. If you want the system to
be able to save crash dumps when it panics, you will need at
least as much swap space as you have RAM. Again, this number
should be expressed in units of sectors or cylinders, as
appropriate.
.Pp
The install program will then ask you for information about
the rest of the partitions you want on your disk. For most
purposes, you will want only one more partition,
.Pa /usr .
(Machines used as servers will probably also want
.Pa /var
as a separate partition. That can be done with these installation
tools, but is not covered here.) The install program will
tell you how much space there is left to be allocated in the
NetBSD area of the disk, and, if you only want one more
partition
.Pq Pa /usr ,
you should enter it at the prompt when the
installer asks you how large the next partition should be.
It will then ask you for the name of the mount point for that
partition. If you're doing a basic installation, that is
.Pa /usr .
.Pp
.Em You are now at the point of no return.
Nothing has been
written to your disk yet, but if you confirm that you want to
install
.Nx ,
your hard drive will be modified, and its
contents may be scrambled at the whim of the install program.
This is especially likely if you have given the install
program incorrect information. If you are sure you want to
proceed, enter
.Ic yes
at the prompt.
.Pp
The install program will now label your disk and make the file
systems you specified. The file systems will be initialized to
contain
.Nx
bootstrapping binaries and configuration files.
It will also create an
.Pa /etc/fstab
for your system, and mount
all of the file systems under
.Pa /mnt .
(In other words, your
.Pa /
(root) partition will be mounted on
.Pa /mnt ,
your
.Pa /usr
partition on
.Pa /mnt/usr ,
and so on.) There should be no errors in this
section of the installation. If there are, restart from the
beginning of the installation process.
.Pp
You will be placed at a shell prompt (
.Sq Li # ) .
The task is to
install the distribution sets. The flow of installation
differs depending on your hardware resources, and on what
media the distribution sets reside.
.
.Ss2 To install from floppy
The first thing you should do is pick a temporary
directory where the distribution files can be stored.
To do this, enter the command
.Ic Set_tmp_dir ,
and enter
the name of the temporary directory. (Don't forget
that if your disk is still mounted under
.Pa /mnt ;
you should probably pick a directory under
.Pa /mnt/usr . )
.Pp
After you have picked a temporary directory, enter the
.Ic Load_fd
command, to load the distribution sets from
your floppies.
.Pp
You will be asked which floppy drive to use. Enter
.Sq Ic 0
(zero) if you're using the first floppy drive, or
enter
.Sq Ic 1
if you're using the second.
.Pp
You will be prompted to insert a floppy into the drive,
to have its contents copied to your hard disk. Do so,
and press
.Key RETURN
to begin copying. When that is done,
read the remainder of the floppies that contain the
distribution sets that you want to install, one by
one. When the last is read, and you are being
prompted for another, press
.Key CONTROL-C .
.Pp
Run the
.Ic Extract
command once for each distribution
set you wish to install. For instance, if you wish to
install the
.Sy base
distribution set, followed by the
.Sy text
distribution set, and finally the
.Sy etc
distribution set, use the commands:
.Pp
.Dl # Ic "Extract base"
.Dl # Ic "Extract text"
.Dl # Ic "Extract etc"
.Pp
For each extraction, it will ask you if the extraction
should be verbose. If you reply affirmatively, it
will print out the name of each file that's being
extracted.
.(Note
If you know that you will be running low on
disk space when installing
.Nx ,
you can load and
extract one distribution set at a time. To do this,
load only the floppies which contain the files for the
first distribution set, extract them, and then change
to the temporary directory and remove them with the
command
.Ic rm set_name.??
.Note)
.Pp
Once you are finished extracting all of the sets that
you wish to install, you should proceed to the
instructions below (after the last install medium
type-specific instructions), that explain how you
should configure your system.
.
.Ss2 To install from tape
The first thing you should do is pick a temporary
directory where the distribution files can be stored.
To do this, enter the command
.Ic Set_tmp_dir ,
and enter
the name of the temporary directory. (Don't forget
that your disk is mounted under
.Pa /mnt ;
you should
probably pick a directory under
.Pa /mnt/usr . )
The default is
.Pa /mnt/usr/distrib .
.Pp
After you have picked a temporary directory, enter the
.Sy Load_tape
command, to load the distribution sets from
tape.
.Pp
You will be asked which tape drive to use. The
default is
.Li rst0 ,
which is correct if you're using
the SCSI tape drive with the lowest SCSI-ID number.
(For the SCSI tape drive with the next lowest SCSI-ID
number, you should use
.Li rst1 ,
and so on.)
.Pp
You will be prompted to press
.Key RETURN
when you have
inserted the tape into the tape drive. When you do,
the contents of the tape will be extracted into the
temporary directory, and the names of the files being
extracted will be printed.
.Pp
After the tape has been extracted, to go the directory
containing the first distribution set you wish to
install. (Depending on how you made the tape, it's
probably a subdirectory of the temporary directory you
specified above.) Once there, run the
.Ic Set_tmp_dir
command again, and accept its default answer by
pressing return at the prompt.
.Pp
Use the
.Ic Extract
command to extract the distribution
set. For instance, if you're extracting the
.Sy base
set, use the command:
.Pp
.Dl # Ic "Extract base"
.Pp
You will be asked if you wish the extraction to be
verbose. If you reply affirmatively, the name of each
file being extracted will be printed.
.Pp
Repeat the previous two steps for each distribution
set you wish to install. Change to the set's
directory, run
.Ic Set_tmp_dir ,
and then run
.Ic Extract Ar set_name
to extract the set.
.Pp
Once you are finished extracting all of the sets that
you wish to install, you should proceed to the
instructions below (after the last install medium
type-specific instructions), that explain how you
should configure your system.
.Pp
.Ss2 To install via FTP or NFS
The first thing you should do is pick a temporary
directory where the distribution files can be stored.
To do this, enter the command
.Ic Set_tmp_dir ,
and enter the name of the temporary directory. (Don't forget
that your disk is mounted under
.Pa /mnt ;
you should probably pick a directory under
.Pa /mnt/usr . )
The default is
.Pa /mnt/usr/distrib .
.Pp
Configure the appropriate ethernet interface (e.g.
ea0, eb0, etc.) up, with a command like:
.Pp
.Ic ifconfig Ar ifname ipaddr
.Op Ic netmask Ar netmask
.Pp
where
.Ar ifname No is the interface name, like those
listed above, and
.Ar ipaddr No is the numeric IP address
of the interface. If the interface has a special
netmask, supply the word
.Ic netmask No and that netmask
at the end of the command line. (The brackets
indicate that those arguments are optional.) For
instance, to configure interface
.Em ea0
with IP address
.Li 129.133.10.10 ,
use the command:
.Pp
.Dl # Ic "ifconfig ea0 129.133.10.10"
.Pp
and to configure interface
.Em eb0
with IP address
.Li 128.32.240.167
and a special netmask,
.Li 0xffffff00 ,
use the command:
.Pp
.Dl # Ic "ifconfig eb0 128.32.240.167 netmask 0xffffff00"
.Pp
If the NFS server or FTP server is not on a directly-
connected network, you need to set up a route to it
using a command like:
.sp
.Ic route add default Ar gate_ipaddr
.sp
.No where Ar gate_ipaddr
is your gateway's numeric IP address.
.Pp
If you are NFS-mounting the distribution sets, mount
them on the temporary directory with a command like:
.sp
.Ic mount -t nfs Ar serv_ipaddr:dist_dir\ tmp_dir
.Pp
where
.Ar serv_ipaddr
is the server's numeric IP address,
.Ar dist_dir
is the path to the distribution files on the server, and
.Ar tmp_dir
is the name of the local temporary directory.
.Pp
Once this is done, proceed as if you had loaded the
files from tape, changing to the appropriate
directories, running
.Ic Set_tmp_dir ,
and running
.Ic Extract
as appropriate.
.Pp
If you are retrieving the distribution sets using ftp,
change into the temporary directory, and execute the
command:
.Pp
.Ic ftp Ar serv_ipaddr
.Pp
where
.Ar serv_ipaddr
is once again the server's numeric
IP address. Get the files with FTP, taking care to
use binary mode when transferring the files.
.Pp
Once you have all of the files for the distribution
sets that you wish to install, you can proceed using
the instructions above, as if you had installed from a
floppy. (Note that as with the floppy install, if
you're short on disk space, you can transfer only one
set at a time, extract it, then delete it, to save
space.)
.Pp
.Ss2 To install from CD-ROM
First create a mount point so that you can mount the
CD-ROM:
.Pp
.Dl # Ic "mkdir /mnt/cdrom"
.Pp
If you get an error here of
.Dq "mkdir: /mnt/cdrom",
don't worry it just means that you didn't need to create the
directory.
.Pp
Then all you need to do is mount the CD-ROM.
For the first CD-ROM drive use:
.Pp
.Dl # Ic "mount -rt cd9660 /dev/cd0a /mnt/cdrom"
.Pp
Or, for the second use:
.Pp
.Dl # Ic "mount -rt cd9660 /dev/cd1a /mnt/cdrom"
.Pp
Once this is done, extract the required sets as
described in the
.Sx "To install from floppy"
section, but
ensure that you set the temporary directory to the
location of the sets on the CD-ROM (usually
.Pa /cdrom/distrib ,
but check the release notes that came with the CD).
.Pp
.Ss2 Completing your installation
Once you have finished extracting all of the distribution sets
that you wish to install, and are back at the
.Sq Li #
prompt, you
are ready to configure your system. The configuration utility
expects that you have installed the
.Sy base
and
.Sy etc
distribution sets. If you have not, you will not be able to
run it successfully (nor will you have a functional system, in
any case). To configure your newly-installed
.Nx
system,
run the command
.Ic Configure .
It will ask you for the system's
host name, domain name, and other network configuration
information. It will set up your configuration files and make
the device nodes for the newly-installed system.
.Pp
.Em Congratulations, you have successfully installed
.Nx \*V .

First and foremost, before beginning the installation process,
.Em 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.
.Pp
Second, read and perform the instructions in
.Pa \*M/ Ns Ar platform Ns Pa /prep
that are specific to your platform for partitioning and booting (even if you're
dedicating a device to
.Nx ) .
.Pp
Finally, when you are happy with your
.Nx
installation, do whatever
is necessary to restore order to the partition you took space away from.
This will most likely involve restoring files, but might involve some
other
.Dq house-work .
.Pp
Your hard disk is now prepared to have
.Nx

$NetBSD: prep.RISCOS,v 1.7 2001/07/26 22:47:34 wiz Exp $
These instructions are specific to NetBSD/arm32 on Acorn RISCOS platforms
(RiscPC/A7000/A7000+) running RiscOS, but may be relevant to futures
Acorn hardware or other hardware running RiscOS.
0 Before you start
Read this document and any other accompanying documentation
completely before continuing.
1 Requirements
1.1 Hardware
Refer to the NetBSD installation notes for a list of supported hardware.
1.2 Software
You will need the following RiscOS software:
A program that will unpack sparchives. We recommend that you
get David Pilling's !SparkPlug. A selfextracting version of this
can be found on the Acorn ftp site (ftp://ftp.acorn.co.uk), and
also at David Pilling's W3 site
(http://www.pilling.demon.co.uk/soft.html).
A program that can uncompress gzip files:
SparkFS from David Pilling (commercial) (v1.28 for
SA-110).
!Gzip from HENSA (micros.hensa.ac.uk).
There is also a command line version of gzip available
that Laurent Domisse has patched to work on SA. This is
available from:
http://www.users.dircon.co.uk/~arcangel/files/index.html
A program to report your disk's geometry:
Not really needed you can simply boot the installation
kernel and look for the geometry in the boot messages.
Sergio Monesi's fsck suite (a good thing to have around
anyway). Available from:
http://cdc8g5.cdc.polimi.it/~pel0015/fsck.html
!Zap (The read disk facility). Available from HENSA.
The partition software/formatter for your desired installation
target:
IDE disks on motherboard interface: !HForm
IDE disks on Simtec interface: UNKNOWN
IDE disks on ICS interface: UNKNOWN
IDE disks on RapIDE interface: UNKNOWN
Acorn SCSI cards: ScsiDM
Power-tec SCSI cards: !PowerMgr
Cumana SCSI-2: !SCSIMgr
oak SCSI-1 card: UNKNOWN
MCS Connect32 SCSI: UNKNOWN
Morley SCSI: UNKNOWN
Additionally you will require the following:
An installation kernel for your platform:
RiscPC: UNKNOWN
A7000(+): UNKNOWN
The Bootloader and RiscOS tools: bootloader.arc (This should
be pre-extracted if you're installing from CD-ROM).
The NetBSD/arm32 distribution sets (Will be on the CD-ROM, or
available from your nearest NetBSD ftp site).
A hardcopy of this document, along with a hardcopy of the
NetBSD installation instructions "INSTALL").
2 Preparing your hard disk
Terms:
Device: The actual physical hard disk
Partition: A section of a device.
File system: A structured partition that is able to hold files.
Disc: A RiscOS file system in a partition. There can be
more than one Disc per Device.
You will have to decide which device you wish to install NetBSD on.
You will also have to decide whether you want to split the device
between one or more RiscOS discs and NetBSD or dedicate a whole
device for NetBSD.
In making this decision you should consider the possibility that if
NetBSD is incorrectly configured on a shared device then your shared
data is at risk.
It is still recommended that if you decide to dedicate a device to
NetBSD that you set aside a small RISC OS partition at the beginning
of the device. This is a useful place to store the RiscOS side of
NetBSD, and will make the use of UnixFS easier to configure. If you
do decide to create a minimal RiscOS partition at the beginning of
the device, a size of 10-20 MB is recommended (some partitioning
software has problems with partitions smaller than this).
The point is that you will have to repartition your device to make
room for a separate partition after the RISC OS one for NetBSD. This
means backing up your device, re-partitioning it and then copying all
the data back afterwards. We recommend that you only copy the needed
data back and put off installing the rest until you have NetBSD up
and running. This way you will save yourself a lot of work if
something goes wrong and you have to start all over again.
2.1 Sharing your device
2.1.1 Acorn IDE
Use !HForm for this interface. This is a program that is delivered
with your computer and is located in the Utilities directory on your
harddisc.
With this software you only have the possibility of using one
partition for RISC OS, so you have to set the rest aside for NetBSD.
Use this procedure to set up your device:
Start !HForm by double-clicking on it's icon.
Choose the "custom" or "other" option when prompted (usually
the last).
Use the default values for the geometry but do not enter the
full number of cylinders. Just enter the number you want to
use for RISC OS. Make a note of this number.
Continue to accept the default answers until you're asked
whether you want to format or initialise, choose initialise.
Go to the section about running bb_riscbsd.
2.1.2 Cumana SCSI-2 card
It is recommended that you use a newer version of !SCSIMgr (newer
than v1.55) since this will be easier to use when you want to leave
part of the device unused by RISC OS. You should check for the latest
version of this software at the following URL:
http://www.cumana.demon.co.uk
You need to create one or more RISC OS partitions, and you do it in
in the following way:
Run !SCSIMgr by double-clicking on it.
Select the device you wish to repartition.
Click on the clear icon in the partitions subwindow.
This will give you a dialogue box where you can specify the
size of the RISC OS partitions. Do not select all since you
want to use part of it for NetBSD.
Enter the amount of the device you wish to reserve for
RiscOS. This will be the whole device size less the amount
you want to reserve for NetBSD. Make a note of this number.
If you like, split the RISC OS portion of the device into
several partition (you should only "see" the RiscOS portion).
Click on Execute when you are happy with the partions. This
will create your partitions, and wipe you device.
Go to the section about running bb_riscbsd.
2.1.3 Alsystems Power-tec SCSI-2 card
You must use the !PowerMgr program to partition the device.
The RISC OS partitions should be called RiscOs:, and the NetBSD one
should be called Empty:.
Here is the procedure you should use:
Start !PowerMgr by double-clicking on its icon.
Click on advanced in the main window
Click on Define/create partitions
Click on the device you want to set up for NetBSD
Set up the RISC OS partitions as RiscOs: and the
remaining one as Empty:
Click on each figure and press RETURN
Click on partition drive
Click on yes to warning as you really want to wipe
the device
Click on yes to proceed, this will lead you to the
partition init.
Partition init
Set a tick on all RiscOs: partitions, give them a name
and set LFAU to auto.
Unset the tick on your Empty: partition.
Click on Inititialize selected partitions.
Click on yes to proceed init as you want to wipe the
selected partitions
Click on yes to proceed to configure
Configure
Here you should set up the RISC OS partitions as you
like them. Normally the default will be ok.
Click on configure. This will configure your computer
and give you access to the Discs.
You *Must Not* run bb_riscbsd
2.1.4 Acorn SCSI card
You can only have one RISC OS partition with this card. The rest has
to be set aside for NetBSD.
This card does not have a friendly WIMP-based interface on the SCSI
management program, but the command line version is very good. You
should run this in a task window (press CTRL-F12):
dir <location_of_scsidm>
scsidm
You will get the following prompt:
scsidm>
Now you should enter the following commands:
probe (to see which devices are available)
device <no> (replace <no> with the no of your device)
section (to divide the device between RISC OS and
NetBSD)
Answer yes to the question:
Include RISCiX partitions?
Enter the size of the RISC OS area in blocks
(sectors)
SCSIDM will round this up to the nearest cylinder
boundary.
Answer yes to the question:
Do you really want to section device <no>?
This will section the device into two partitions.
quit
Go to the section on running bb_riscbsd
2.1.5 Other interfaces
It may not be possible to partition devices on other interface. If
you are using a different interface you have 2 options:
Try to work out how to partition devices on it
Use the entire device for NetBSD
2.2 Using a whole device for NetBSD
As a safety precaution NetBSD/arm32 looks for a filecore bootblock
at the beginning of any device it labels. If it finds one and it
looks as though it is in use then NetBSD/arm32 will not touch it.
Because of this, if you've ever used your device for RiscOS, you will
need to invalidate this bootblock.
To do this you need to:
Be absolutely sure you want to do this
run bb_trash and follow the instructions
Ensure that this device is now not configured for RiscOS.
You are now ready to boot NetBSD and continue the installation.
3 Running bb_riscbsd
When you run this program, you will first be asked whether you are
installing to an ADFS drive or a SCSI drive. You can just press A or
S respectively. (The bb_riscbsd program assumes that you are using a
non-Acorn SCSI card, so if you are using an Acorn card, then you may
have to edit this program and replace CSI_DiscOp with SCSIFS_DiscOp.)
Then you will be asked which disc you want to install NetBSD on. This
*must* be the first disc on the device. bb_riscbsd will now
scrutinize the device and see how it has been laid out.
It will then tell you how much of the device is occupied by RiscOS in
cylinders, and you will then be asked for the NetBSD starting
cylinder. Normally you should just enter the number given to you
since the RISC OS starting cylinder is 0 and therefore the last
cylinder in use is one less than the figure given. If no figure is
displayed, then your partitioning software failed to fill in the
bootblock completely (it doesn't have to do this for you but most do)
or you selected the wrong device. If you are convinced that this is
the correct device then you must calculated a cylinder offset using
the numbers noted down during partitioning (if it is not a whole
number *always* round up, you might waste a little of the device but
it'll all be safe).
Make a note of this number.
bb_riscbsd will make a backup of the original bootblock, but it
can be non-trivial to put it back.
4 Booting
Now that your device is ready for the installation you need to
unpack the bootloader archive (bootloader.arc, if you're installing
from CD-ROM then this should be unpacked already), copy it to your
harddisk and run the bootloader (!BtRiscBSD).
4.1 Configuring !BtRiscBSD before installation
!BtRiscBSD should come configured ready for installation.
4.2 Running !BtRiscBSD
Double click on the !BtRiscBSD icon and then on the iconbar icon to
open the Configuration window.
Drag the kernel for your platform to the kernel name box and hit boot.
NetBSD should now start to boot, install NetBSD as per the NetBSD
installation notes.
4.3 Configuring !BtRiscBSD after installation
Run !BtRiscBSD as before and bring up the configuration window.
Set the kernel as UnixFS:$.netbsd and set the native boot option (if
the boot fails use a copy of the installed kernel (/netbsd) from
RiscOS.
Set "Root device", "swap device" to the partitions you used for the
installation.
Set multi user mode.
Ensure the RAMDISK is set to 0.
Click save.
Click Boot.
5 Advanced stuff
5.1 Using UnixFS to copy the sets.
Once the required sets are installed and you can boot from your
newly installed NetBSD setup, you can use UnixFS to copy the
remaining sets from RiscOS to NetBSD.
In order to be able to use unixfs to transfer the sets you must have
a certain setup.
1) You must have the RiscOS disc that corresponds to the NetBSD
device configured (eg *con. IDEdiscs 2) even if it has no RiscOS
section.
2) If you have RISC OS 3.5 without the new FileCore, then you must
also have the NetBSD file system *completely* below the 511 MB
boundary of the device.
3) You must know the SWI base of the <filesys>_DiscOp SWI. Here
<filesys> is SCSIFS, SCSI or ADFS depending upon which controller
type you have you NetBSD device on.
Some common ones:
Power-tec SCSI-2 card: &40980
RapIDE: &4BBC0
There are small obey files for some interfaces supplied with UnixFS.
4) Have given the directory you want to write into write permission for
everyone. This should have been done above. For example to make
/usr/distrib world writable type (as root):
chmod 1777 /usr/distrib
To mount a Unix partition:
1) Double-click on the unixfs_res module to load it.
2) Run a unixfs_mount command to mount the partition.
3) Open the root directory by double-clicking on the openroot file.
4) Open the distrib directory and just copy the sets to this.
5) Shut down unixfs by double-clicking on the kill_unixfs file.
THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT as it works like dismount on MS-DOS floppies.
The difficult step here is step number 2). If you are using an
ADFS IDE disc, then you can just double-click on one of the
following obey files (always choose the RiscOS disc number that
corresponds to the *first* disc on the NetBSD device):
- MountHD4a (ADFS::4 drive, not disc, root file system)
- MountHD4e (ADFS::4 drive, not disc, /usr file system)
- MountHD5a (ADFS::5 drive, not disc, root file system)
- MountHD5e (ADFS::5 drive, not disc, /usr file system)
If you are not using an ADFS IDE device, you need to create such
an obey file yourself. We recommend that you copy one of the
above and change that. These files normally only contain a
unixfs_mount command. If you go to the command line (or a task
window), and you type *help unixfs_mount you will see that the
unixfs_mount command has a very incomprehensible syntax.
The unixfs_mount command normally only takes one argument. That
is composed of the following:
(discop_swibase + (disc << 3) + partition)
To mount the root partition of third Power-tec SCSI-2 disc the
following commands can be used in task window (press CTRL-F12) to
find the argument to unixfs_mount:
*basic
PRINT ~(&40980 + (6 << 3) + 0)
QUIT
The PRINT command calculates the value to use and will in this
context give the value 409B0 which also is in hexadecimal. The
interesting things above are:
- &40980 The SWI base for SCSIFS_DiscOp.
- 6 The disc number in RISC OS.
- 0 The RiscBSD partition no. with a=0, b=1 etc.
- ~ Tell the PRINT command to show the result in hexadecimal.
- << Shifts the first number with the second number
places left.
In this case, it shifts 6 with 3 places to the left.
- & Denotes that the number is in hexadecimal.
- ( and ) Used to group the sub-expressions.
When you have calculated the figure to give to unixfs_mount you
just change it in the copy of the file you made above and run it by
double-clicking on it.
When you have mounted the unixfs file system, you can open the
directory and copy the sets to it.
Don't forget to copy the file "checksums" too. As its name suggests, it
contains checksums to check if the files are OK.
When you are finished with the transfer, run the file
kill_unixfs to dismount the unixfs file system.
Appendix A - Device naming
The names of the devices in NetBSD are not at all like the ones
in RISC OS. We will here try to explain the naming scheme used
in NetBSD. This is pretty much the same in all UNIXes, but
there will be some differences. NetBSD is derived from BSD and
differs from the ones that are derived from System V. Most of
the dominant operating systems in the UNIX market today are
based on System V (Sun Solaris, SGI Irix, HP HP-UX 10.xx, Linux
etc.). Some of them are actually hybrids of both.
The file system in UNIX use the slash character (/) as the
directory separator. The top (or bottom if you like) directory
is called the root and is denoted by only the slash (/). All
absolute filenames are adressed starting with the root, so the
temporary directory is called /tmp.
The devices in UNIX are addressed as special files in the
file system, and they all start with /dev, so e.g. the quadrature
mouse is called /dev/quadmouse.
Also some devices can be adressed in two different ways; as a
raw (character by character) or block device. This is especially
true with discs, and they therefore have two different names.
The raw device is called the same as the block device except
that it has an 'r' in front of the name. E.g. the first internal
hard drive is called /dev/wd0 as a block device, but /dev/rwd0
as a raw device. See also later.
For now, the only needed devices are the storage devices, so we
will hereby describe the naming convention used for these.
Please note that when you have different partitions on a device,
they will get the same number in NetBSD, but different letters,
whereas in RISC OS they will get different numbers. See the
examples at the end of this section.
The (block) device names are mostly composed of 4 characters:
1. The type
- w Winchester drives (i.e. standard ADFS drives)
- s SCSI drives
- c CD-ROM drives
- r RAM drives (obsolete in newer kernels)
- m Memory drives (only in newer kernels)
- f Floppy drives
2. A 'd' indicating a disc device
3. The number of the device of that type starting with 0.
- For IDE drives, the master will be 0, and the slave 1.
- For SCSI drives, the target ID will be used to
determine the number. They start on 0 and increase with
each device found. The drive with the lowest target ID will get
0, the second lowest target ID will get 1 etc.
Also, if you have different controllers, all devices on controller
0 (lowest expansion slot) will be added first.
- The CD-ROM drives act the same way as SCSI drives.
- The floppy drive is numbered as in RISC OS.
- At present you can only have one RAM drive, so it is 0.
4. The name of the partition. There are eight of these (along with
common allocations):
- a The root partition
- b The swap partition
- c The whole disc
- d Scratch (what are these?)
- e The first additonal partition.
i.e. if you have only /usr, then this will be /usr
if you have both /var and /usr this will be /var
- f The section additional partition.
i.e. if you have /var and /usr, this will be /usr
- g ????
- h Previously the /usr partition?
If you only have one partition on the drive this can normally be
accessed with either partition a (root partition) or c (whole
disc). This has not been verified to work.
A couple of examples of how to map RISC OS names to NetBSD ones
(the partition names have been left out):
ADFS::0 fd0
ADFS::1 fd1
ADFS::4 wd0
ADFS::5 (same drive as :4) wd0
ADFS::5 (other drive than :4) wd1
SCSI::4 sd0
SCSI::5 (same drive as :4) sd0
SCSI::5 (other drive than :4) sd1
So, if you have one ADFS IDE drive, and want to install NetBSD
at the after ADFS::5, you should still use wd0. If on the other
hand, ADFS::5 is a second drive, then you will have to use wd1.
