README.files This list.
Tape, CD, and Disk Images
ported-software A list of software ported to NetBSD/Alpha,
and patches to make software go.
This release or snapshot contains two installation image types:
Snapshots are organized by release. Releases are numbered by year, month,
and day, in directories with names of the form "YYMMDD".
installation/floppy/disk1of2
installation/floppy/disk2of2
In each directory:
and
installation/diskimage/cdhdtape
CKSUMS Checksums (generated with NetBSD's "cksum"
utility) of all files in this snapshot.
MD5SUMS MD5 message digests (generated with NetBSD's
"md5" utility) of all files in this snapshot.
README_FIRST Important last-minute notes about the snapshot.
README Installation notes; incomplete.
STATUS Status of NetBSD/Alpha, supported hardware list.
Both image sets load the same installation kernel into memory and
then make no further use of the source media. The general idea is
to load a kernel with a pre-initialized memory filesystem of
utilities and an installation program.
bin/ Directory with binaries for this snapshot.
The use of the floppy disk set should be obvious. The cdhdtape
image can be written to a CD, hard drive, or tape and then booted
from the SRM console.
bin.tar.gz Everything on the disk image except /etc,
/usr/X11R6, /boot, and the kernel.
etc.tar.gz /etc from the disk image.
netbsd.gz Gzipped GENERIC kernel (also on disk image).
netbsd.gdb.gz Gzipped GENERIC kernel w/debugging symbols.
diskimage.gz Disk image for installation.
x11.tar.gz /usr/X11R6 from the disk image.
To copy the boot images to a magnetic disk under unix, the dd(1)
command can be used:
src/ Directory with sources for this snapshot.
Floppy:
dd if=disk1of2 of=/dev/rfd0a bs=18k
(change floppies)
dd if=disk2of2 of=/dev/rfd0a bs=18k
X11R6-XF86-*-diffs.gz
Diffs from XFree86 (version indicated by
whatever matches that '*') used to make
the X11 binaries in the distribution.
X11 sources should be placed in
/usr/alphasrc/xc with a symlink pointing
from /usr/src/xc. [May not be present
in all distributions.]
toolchain.tar.gz Toolchain (gcc, gas, ld, etc.) sources
used to build the compiler toolchain.
Should be untarred into
/usr/alphasrc/toolchain with a symlink
pointing from /usr/src/toolchain.
You can write the image to a hard drive too:
dd bs=18k if=cdhdtape of=/dev/rsd1c
dd bs=18k if=cdhdtape of=/dev/rsd1d (NetBSD/i386)
For a tape, it is important to use a block size of 512, so:
dd bs=512 if=cdhdtape of=/dev/erst0 (NetBSD)
dd bs=512 if=cdhdtape of=/dev/rmt0h (Digital Unix)
Note that the bits on the installation media are only used when
initially loaded. They can be written to a hard drive, loaded, and
then overwritten during the installation with no conflict, or
alternatively, the boot CD or tape can be removed and replaced with
one containing the installation sets.
The install notes from this directory subtree are present on the
installation file system.
