 The following is a walk-through of the steps necessary to get
 .Nx
-installed on your hard disk.  If you wish to stop the installation,
+installed on your hard disk.
-you may press
+.so ../common/sysinst
-.Key CONTROL-C
-at any prompt, but if you do, you'll have to
-begin again from scratch.
-.(enum
-Booting the miniroot
-First you need to get yourself into
-.Nx .
-This can be
-done in a couple ways, both of which currently require
-.Tn GEMDOS .
-You need either the bootfloppy provided in the
-distribution or you can copy the
-.Ic loadbsd.ttp
-program and
-kernel to a boot floppy disk (1.44 MB needed) or put them on a
-.Tn TOS
-partition.  Select the loadbsd program and it will
-ask for parameters, supply:
-.Sq Ic "-b netbsd"
-(or whatever name
-you copied the kernel to).  You can, of course, also run it
-from the shell command-line in
-.Tn MiNT :
-.Pp
-.Dl Ic "loadbsd -b a:/netbsd"
-.Pp
-You should see the screen clear and some information about
-your system as the kernel configures the hardware.  Then
-you will be prompted for a root device.  At this time remove the
-.Tn GEMDOS
-kernel boot floppy from the drive if present and insert the
-.Nx
-install floppy 1.  Now type
-.Sq Ic md0a
-to tell the
-kernel to load the install file system into RAMdisk. While
-While the kernel is loading, it will show a
-.Sq \&.
-for each
-track loaded. After loading 80 tracks, it will ask you
-to insert the next floppy. At this time, insert the
-.Nx
-install floppy 2 and press any key. The kernel continuous
-loading another 40 tracks before it continues to boot.
-.(Note
-If you are using 1.44 MB floppies, you should select
-.Sq Ic md1a
-instead of
-.Sq Ic md0a .
-.Note)
-.Pp
-The system should continue to boot.  For now ignore WARNING:
-messages about bad dates in clocks. Eventually you will be
-be asked to enter the pathname of the shell, just press
-.Key RETURN .
-After a short while, you will be asked to select
-the type of your keyboard. After you have entered a valid
-response here, the system asks you if you want to install
-or upgrade your system. Since you are reading the
-.Em install
-section,
-.Sq Ic i
-would be the proper response here...
-.It
-Entering the installer
-The installer starts with a nice welcome message. Read this
-message carefully, it also informs you of the risks involved
-in continuing! If you still want to go on, type
-.Sq Ic y .
-The
-installer now continues by trying to figure out your disk
-configuration.  When it is done, you will be prompted to select
-a root device from the list of disks it has found.
-.It
-Select your root device
-You should know at this point that the disks are
-.Em not
-numbered according to their SCSI-ID! The
-.Nx
-kernel numbers the SCSI
-drives (and other devices on the SCSI bus) sequentially as it
-finds them. The drive with the lowest SCSI-ID will be called
-.Li sd0 ,
-the next one
-.Li sd1 ,
-etc.
-Where you end up after the selection of the root disk depends on
-the contents of your disk. If it is already partitioned using AHDI,
-start reading at item 4a, if this disk has no AHDI partitioning
-but is blank or used by another non-AHDI system, start at item 4b.
-.Pp
-.Em You are now at the point of no return!
-The programs in section
-4 will modify your harddisk. Type
-.Key Control-C
-.Em now
-if you don't
-want this.
-.It
-Setting AHDI partition ID's on your root disk
-.Pq using Ic ahdilabel
-Because
-.Nx
-imposes a special ordering in disk partitions it
-uses for
-.Pa /
-(root) and swap. And because it wants to guard you against
-an unwanted demolition of partitions used by other systems, you
-have to tell it what partitions it is allowed to use. You have
-to mark the partition you want to use as swap
-.Li NBS
-or
-.Li SWP
-and the other partitions as
-.Li NBD .
-Note that all the changes
-you make to the ID's are reversable as long as you remember the
-original value.
-As of
-.Nx 1.5
-.Ic ahdilabel
-is capable of creating or changing an AHDI compatible partioning on the disk!
-In the partition-ID editor, the partitions are shown in the order
-that AHDI created them. When you leave this editor and continue
-at item 4b, your changes to the ID's do have consequences to the
-partition order! They will show up as follows:
-.Pp
-.(tag d\ (and\ up)
-.It a
-\- the first NBD partition
-.It b
-\- the first NBS partition
-.It d (and up)
-\- the rest of the partitions in AHDI order
-.tag)
-.It
-Labeling your root disk (using edlabel)
-You are now allowed to change the partitioning of your disk. If
-your disk is already partitioned with AHDI,
-.Em don't
-change anything
-unless you are absolutely sure what you are doing!
-If you are labeling an empty SCSI disk, you can make life easy for
-yourself by selecting
-.Dq standardize geometry .
-This allows you to
-select a
-.Dq sectors per track
-and
-.Dq tracks/cylinder
-value and have
-the (fictious) SCSI geometry changed accordingly. So if you select
-64 sect/track and 32 tracks/cylinder, each cylinder is exactly
-1 MB in size. Well, go ahead and don't forget to save your work
-before you quit!
-.(Note
-to make sure that
-.Nx
-can create/mount file systems on
-the partitions you defined, make sure the
-.Dq type
-is entered correctly:
-.Pp
-.(tag 4.2BSD -compact
-.It Li 4.2BSD
-\- file systems created by
-.Nx
-.It Li MSDOS
-\- file systems shared with
-.Tn GEM
-.tag)
-.Note)
-.It
-Label additional disks
-Now that your root disk is labeled, you are given the opportunity
-to label any of the other disks in your system. The procedure is
-the same as with your root disk.
-.It
-Setup the fstab
-Since all disks you want to use with
-.Nx
-are properly labeled,
-it is time to tell the installer which partition will be associated
-with the different file systems. As mentioned above, it is wise to
-make at least a separate
-.Pa /
-(root) and
-.Pa /usr
-file system. Depending on
-what you are planning to do with your system, you might also consider
-to make a separate
-.Pa /var ,
-.Pa /local
-or
-.Pa /home .
-When you tell the installer that all of your file systems are specified
-correctly, it starts creating them for you.
-.It
-Configure your network
-Currently none of the kernels supplied in the distribution has
-network support builtin. If you compiled your own kernel, network
-configuration mostly works. [ Due to space limitations, some
-of the network commands are not present on the install floppy ]
-.It
-Edit the fstab - again....
-Since the network configuration might have lead to additional (nfs)
-file system entries, you get another chance to modify your fstab.
-.It
-Installing the distribution sets
-You are finally at the point where some real data will be put on
-your freshly-made file systems. Select the device type you whish
-to install from and off you go....
-Some notes:
-.(bullet
-If you want to install from tape, please read the section
-about how to create such a tape.
-The tape device name will be
-.Li nrst0
-for the first tape drive,
-.Li nrst1
-for the second, etc.
-.It
-Install at least the base and etc sets.
-.It
-If you have to specify a path relative to the mount-point and
-you need the mount-point itself, enter
-.Sq \&. .
-.It
-For previous
-.Nx
-users:  If you want to install from a
-.Tn GEMDOS
-file system, you don't need to rename the distribution
-sets as you may have done in previous versions of
-.Nx .
-.bullet)
-.It
-Timezone selection and device-node building
-The isn't much to say about this. Just select the timezone you
-are in. The installer will make the correct setup on your root
-file system
-.Pq Pa / .
-After the timezone-link is installed, the installer
-will proceed by creating the device nodes on your root file system under
-.Pa /dev .
-Be patient, this will take a while...
-.It
-Installing the kernel
-Because the kernel didn't fit on the install-disks, the installer
-asks you about the disk your kernel is on. You can specify the
-floppy with disk
-.Li fd0 ,
-and partition
-.Sq Li b
-for 720 KB disks and partition
-.Sq Li c
-for 1.44 MB disks, or one of the hard disk partitions.
-.It
-Installing the bootstrap
-Finally, the installer ask you if you want to install the bootblock
-code on your root disk. This is a matter of personal choice and can
-also be done from a running
-.Nx
-system. See the
-.Xr installboot 8
-manual page about how to do this.
-.It
-You did it!
-Congratulations, you just installed
-.Nx
-successfully! If you
-also installed a bootblock, you only have to reboot your Atari to
-enter your freshly build system. If you didn't, get back to section
-1 (How to boot the miniroot). Just substitute
-.Li md0a
-by your
-.Nx
-root disk.
-.enum)
-.Ss2 Some extra remarks
-If you don't want to use the bootloader. You could use the following
-setup:
-.(bullet
-Reserve a small
-.Tn GEMDOS
-partition of about 4 MB. This is
-enough to put in a few kernels. Put the netbsd kernel
-into this partition. Also, edit your
-.Pa /etc/fstab
-to always
-mount this partition, say as
-.Pa /kernels .
-Now make a symlink
-from
-.Pa /netbsd
-to
-.Pa /kernels/netbsd .
-This scheme is particularly handy when you want to make your
-own kernel. When compilation is finished, you just copy
-your kernel to
-.Pa /kernels/netbsd
-and reboot. It's wise to make sure there is
-.Em always
-a
-.Sq known to work
-kernel image present.
