Each hp300 binary distribution set also has its own "CKSUMS" file, just
as the source distribution sets do.
The following are included in the `.../install' directory:
SYS_INST.gz A gzipped copy of the SYS_INST miniroot
installation program.
SYS_NBOOT.gz A gzipped copy of the network boot block.
This is useful if you are installing
a diskless NetBSD/hp300 system.
inst-11.fs.gz A gzipped copy of the miniroot filesystem.
netbsd.gz A gzipped GENERIC kernel.
rbootd.tar.gz Source code for the rbootd(8) program, required
for netbooting an HP workstation.
HP-IB.geometry A file containing geometry for some HP-IB
disk drives.
The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally
well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that
method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory. That

NOTE: Because of the nature of the hp300 bootstrap procedure, the root

judgement. Also, note that the recommended size of /usr is 15M greater
than the needed size. This is to allow room for kernel source and
compile areas, as you may want to compile your own kernel.
NOTE: The hp300 installation procedure utilizes a `miniroot' filesystem
which is placed into the swap area of the disk. The swap are must be
at least large enough to hold this miniroot image.

NOTE: In the following examples you will see references to
disk devices. For those not familiar with NetBSD, the following
prefixes are used to denote drive types:
The miniroot's install program is very simple to use. It will guide
you through the entire process, and is well automated. Additional
improvements are planned for future releases.
sd SCSI disk
rd HP-IB disk
The miniroot's install program will:
In the examples that follow, `rd' will be used. The steps are
exactly the same for `sd' disks. Only the names have changed
to protect the innocent.
* Allow you to place disklabels on additional disks.
Note that partition sizes and offsets are expressed
in sectors. When you fill out the disklabel, you will
need to specify partition types and filesystem parameters.
If you're unsure what the these values should be, use the
following:
Assuming you have read this document thoroughly and kept good notes
about your partitions, the rest should be fairly straight forward.
fstype: 4.2BSD
fsize: 1024
bsize: 4096
cpg: 16
Before you begin, you must have already prepared the target disk
as detailed in the section on preparing your system for install.
If the partition will be a swap partition, use the following:
The following is a walk-through of the steps necessary to finish
what the preparation process has already begun. You may choose to
stop the process at any time, but if you do, it's recommended that
you start over from scratch.
fstype: swap
fsize: 0 (or blank)
bsize: 0 (or blank)
cpg: 0 (or blank)
First you need to boot off of the target disk which
you have made in the preparation process. To do this,
halt HP-UX, power-cycle your machine, and hit the space
bar during the boot ROM's probing/testing sequence.
You should eventually be presented with a list of systems
from which to boot. You want the one called `SYS_PBOOT'.
You will also need to specify the number of partitions.
The number of partitions is determined by the `index' of
the last partition letter, where a == 1, b == 2, etc.
Therefore, if the last filled partition is partition `g',
there are 7 partitions. Any partitions with size of 0
may be removed from the list.
After selecting `SYS_PBOOT', your system should load the
NetBSD boot block and ask you for a kernel to load.
Enter the following to boot NetBSD into single-user mode.
(Note: it will come into single-user anyway, as there is
not yet an fstab, but this makes it happen more gracefully.)
If the disk is the boot disk, you _must_ offset the root
partition (`a') one cylinder, as the hp300 boot code
if large enough to spill past the label area. In this case,
the `c' partition must be fstype `boot'.
netbsd -s
Anything after a `#' is a comment.
The kernel will now load, and configure your hardware.
Make a note of the device it lists when mounting the
root filesystem. It should look something like this:
The following is an example disklabel partition map:
Changing root device to rd0a
7 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 30912 448 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 1 - 69)
b: 130816 31360 swap # (Cyl. 70 - 361)
c: 1296512 0 boot # (Cyl. 0 - 2893)
e: 81984 162176 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 362 - 544)
f: 102592 244160 4.2BSD 1024 4096 16 # (Cyl. 545 - 773)
g: 949760 346752 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 774 - 2893)
The message above is an example only. Your message may
be different.
* Create filesystems on target partitions.
Check the root filesystem. Use the raw flavor of the
device listed during the `Changing root device...'
message. Example:
* Allow you to set up your system's network configuration.
Remember to specify host names without the domain name
appended to the end. For example use `foo' instead of
`foo.bar.org'. If, during the process of configuring
the network interfaces, you make a mistake, you will
be able to re-configure that interface by simply selecting
it for configuration again.
fsck -p /dev/rrd0a
* Mount target filesystems. You will be given the opportunity
to manually edit the resulting /etc/fstab.
Mount the root filesystem:
* Extract binary sets from the media of your choice.
mount /dev/rd0a /
* Copy configuration information gathered during the
installation process to your root filesystem.
It's now time to newfs all of the other partitions you
listed in your disk label. So, for example, if rd0e and
rd0f were to have filesystems put on them, you would
do the following:
* Make device nodes in your root filesystem.
newfs /dev/rrd0e
newfs /dev/rrd0f
* Copy a new kernel onto your root partition.
Ensure that the mount-points for these filesystems are clean.
If these filesystems are to be /var and /usr, respectively,
just check that there are no files in those directories.
There shouldn't be. Once you've made sure, go ahead and
mount those filesystems.
* Install a new boot block.
It's now time to get the distribution sets onto the root
or other filesystem. There are several programs in /ibin
to help you with this. At your disposal, you have:
* Check your filesystems for integrity.
ftp
gzip
tar
extract
Except for extract, which is just a script to help the
process along, these are statically-linked versions of
themselves, which normally appear in /usr/bin.
If you placed the distribution sets on tape, go to the
directory where you wish to temporarily place them and
extract them from tape, using /dev/nrstX for SCSI tapes
or /dev/nrctX for HP-IB cartridge tapes, where X is the
unit number of the tape, probably 0.
tar xvf /dev/nrst0
If this extracts the sets directly into your current
directory, terrific. Otherwise, go to the directory in
which they live. Skip on to extracting the sets.
If you will be grabbing the sets off of the network somehow,
configure your network interface:
ifconfig le0 inet <ipaddr> <netmask> <broadcast>
route add default <addr-of-default-router>
If you will be ftp'ing the sets from one of the NetBSD ftp
sites, go to the directory where you wish to temporarily
place them and download them from the ftp site of your choice.
Since you haven't yet created a resolv.conf, you'll need to
use the IP address.
/ibin/ftp <ftp_ipaddr>
If you will be getting the sets from an NFS server, mount
the filesystem on the server which has the sets, and go
to the directory that has them. Again, you'll need to use
the IP address of the server.
mount -t nfs <serv_ipaddr>:<server_dir> <mount_point>
At this point, you have everything necessary to label any
additional disks that you wish to label. If you created
additional labels in the preparation phase, and have
access to them now, go ahead and label the disks they
correspond to:
disklabel -W rd1
disklabel -r -R rd1 rd1.label
where:
rd1 additional disk you wish to label
rd1.label file containing disk label information
You may check these labels once they are on the disk:
disklabel -r rd1
where:
rd1 additional disk you wish to label
A problem with a partition (such as overlaps or not falling
on a cylinder boundary) will be noted with a `*'. If you see
these, re-edit your label by the method of your choice (on
another machine, perhaps, or with ed(1), for the brave),
transfer it to a place that's usable (if necessary) and
label the disk again.
Once these disks have been labeled, you may newfs the
partitions that are to contain filesystems and mount them.
You should now be ready to extract the filesets. The program
/ibin/extract should help you with this. For example:
/ibin/extract base
-or- /ibin/extract base.tar.gz
Do this for all of the filesets you wish to extract. As your disk
fills up, you may wish to remove the sets once you have extracted
them.
You should have everything necessary to use an editor by now.
Set your TERM environment variable:
setenv TERM hp300h (csh)
-or- export TERM=hp300h (sh)
hp300h is the terminal type for the HP 9000/300 ITE console.
If you are using a serial console, change the TERM variable
appropriately. Now, initialize the terminal:
tset
You should be able to use vi now.
Create an /etc/fstab. Example fstabs are provided in
/etc/fstab.sd and /etc/fstab.rd.
Edit your host table, /etc/hosts. In it, place the IP
address of this host and the IP address of your default
router.
Edit the file /etc/myname. In it, place the symbolic name
of your machine.
Edit the file /etc/defaultdomain. In it, place the name
of your YP domain. If you will not be using YP, simply
enter the domain name of your site.
Edit the file /etc/mygate. In it, place the name of
your default router, as your listed it in /etc/hosts.
Edit the file /etc/hostname.le0. In it, place the following
information:
inet <myname.my.domain> <netmask> <broadcast>
where:
<myname.my.domain> is the name corresponsing to
the IP address for that interface, as you listed in
/etc/hosts.
<netmask> is the netmask for your network.
<broadcast> is the broadcast address for your network.
Repeat this step for any additional network interfaces you
may have.
Edit the file /etc/ttys. Make sure that the entries are
correct for whichever console type you have. /dev/console
is correct for ITE, /dev/tty0 for console on dca, and
/dev/tty00 for console on dcm. You may get more information
about /etc/ttys by doing `man ttys', providing you have
installed the system manual set.
Ok, cross your fingers and reboot:
sync; sync; sync; reboot
Providing you entered all information correctly, your
machine will boot into multi-user mode. Your system
will need a few tweaks here and there (like /etc/sendmail.cf
and /etc/netstart, perhaps), but that's the easy stuff.
CONGRATULATIONS! You have successfully installed NetBSD
onto your hp300! Pat yourself on the back. This might also
be a good time to remove /ibin, as you will no longer need
it, and it is provided solely for bootstrapping purposes.
First-time installation on a system through a method other than the
installation program is possible, but strongly discouraged.

NOTE: These instructions are explicitly for installing NetBSD
from an HP-UX system, version 7 or later. It has not been
tested with HP-UX versions earlier than 7, and has also not
been tested with HP-UX 8, although it is presumed to work.
For the creative, similar steps may be taken from a system such
as Utah's 4.3BSD release for the hp300, although bootstrapping
from such a system has not been tested.
Currently, only installing the miniroot from the network is supported.
This may change in a future release.
Bootstrapping the hp300 is a complicated process, but it's a lot
easier than it used to be. For this process you need the
following items from the install/ directory:
You will need information about your disk's geometry, based on 512-byte
sectors. You must have this information before proceeding. The
file `.../install/HP-IB.geometry' has geometry inforomation for several
HP-IB disks, but may be incomplete. Geometry may be calculated from an
HP-UX `/etc/disktab' entry, but note that HP-UX geometry is based on
1024 byte sectors, while NetBSD's is based on 512 byte sectors.
boot NetBSD/hp300 boot block for
HP-IB and SCSI disks
QUICK NOTE ABOUT PARTITIONS: Since the target disk will become the boot
disk for your new NetBSD/hp300 installation, you will need to treat the
`a' and `c' partitions in a special manner. Due to the size of the
NetBSD/hp300 boot program (it spills into the area after the disklabel),
it is necessary to offset the `a' partition one cylinder from the beginning
of the disk. Later, the `c' partition will be marked with the type
`FS_BOOT' and may not be used for a filesystem. (For those unfamiliar
with historic BSD partition conventions, the `c' partition is defined
as `the entire disk', or the `raw partition'.)
rootimage.gz bootstrap root filesystem
image
A QUICK NOTE ABOUT DISK NUMBERS: While in the SYS_INST program, you
may use different unit numbers for the disks than when the NetBSD
kernel is running. The unit number for a disk while in SYS_INST is
calculated with the following formula:
label prototype disk label
unit = (controller * 8) + slave
makedisk a program for HP-UX that will
write a NetBSD disk label,
boot block, and root filesystem
image to the target disk
(NOTE: This is an HP-UX 7.x binary.
while it will work under HP-UX 9.x,
you may want to compile this yourself.
The source may be found in makedisk.tar.gz)
Controllers are numbered 0, 1, ... starting with the lowest select code.
SCSI controllers and HP-IB controllers are counted separately. Therefore,
if you had a system with an internal HP-IB interface at select code 7,
a fast HP-IB interface at select code 14, and a SCSI interface at select
code 16, unit numers might be something like the following:
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: This procedure will destroy all data on the
target disk. Because NetBSD uses a different filesystem format than
HP-UX, your old data will be useless. If you wish to save anything,
use tar(1) instead of dump(1M), again because of filesystem differences.
Location Unit
-------- ----
HP-IB at 7, slave 2 2 (disk: rd2)
HP-IB at 14, slave 5 13 (disk: rd13)
SCSI at 16, slave 0 0 (disk: sd0)
First of all, you must have a second disk on which to install NetBSD.
If possible, this disk should first be prepared with mediainit(1M).
Once this disk is spotless, you should generate a disk label for it.
Using the prototype label provided, fill in all of the necessary
information. Remember, if you derive geometry information from an
HP-UX disktab, your partition size will be off. This is because HP-UX
uses a 1024-byte sector size, while NetBSD uses a 512-byte sector size.
To avoid the problem, you may simply double the number of cylinders.
(That's what I do...works great. -- JRT)
IMPORTANT: Partition 'a' must be offset one cylinder. Since
partition information is expressed in sectors, the offset of
partition 'a' must be the value of `sectors/cylinder'. This is
to leave room for the boot block.
Miniroot installation via network
---------------------------------
NOTE: BOOTING SYS_INST VIA THE NETWORK IS ONLY POSSIBLE IF YOUR BOOTROM
IS `REV. C' OR LATER.
When you create your disklabel, be sure to specify whether or not
the disk is HP-IB or SCSI in the `type:' field.
In order to complete this process, you will need the following from the
`.../install' directory of the distribution:
Below is an example of what a disk label should look like. This
is an example only! Do not attempt this at home!
SYS_INST The standalone disklabel and miniroot
installation tool

must be un-gzipped before copying to disk.

To boot SYS_INST from tape, you need only place SYS_INST on the tape as
the first file.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the bootstrapping procedure, your 'a'
partition must be at least 30744 sectors long. Increase the size of
your 'a' partition just enough to make it end on a cylinder boundary.
If you make it any larger, you will just be wasting space, as the
filesystem ends after 30744 sectors.
-- The following section is specific for loading SYS_INST via the network. --
Remember to write down the names of the partitions and what you
will be using them for (i.e. 'a - root, b - swap, e - /usr, etc.')
as you will need this information later on in the installation
process.
If you wish to load the SYS_INST program via the network, you may need
the following from the `.../install' directory in addition to the items
listed above:
Once you are satisfied with your disklabel, you can write the
root filesystem image to the target disk. Use the `makedisk'
program for this. So, under HP-UX, do:
rbootd.tar.gz Source code for the rbootd program included with
NetBSD. It requires that the server have a
Berkeley Packet Filter (bpf). You will need to
compile this version of rbootd if your server
system does not have this utility already.
./makedisk /dev/rdsk/c7d0s0 mylabel boot rootimage.gz
First of all, configure your rbootd to handle boot requests from the
client. NOTE: NetBSD's `rbootd' is slightly different from HP-UX's.
To configure NetBSD's `rbootd', create a file called `/etc/rbootd.conf'
and place in it an entry like the following:
where:
/dev/rdsk/c7d0s0 raw flavor of target disk device
08:00:09:04:AA:33 SYS_INST # thunder-egg
mylabel disk label you just wrote
The first column is the ethernet address of the client's network interface.
The second column is the program to send to the client, and anything after
the `#' is a comment. Once you have rbootd running, copy the SYS_INST
program to the /usr/mdec/rbootd directory on your server. If this
directory doesn't exist already, you will need to create it.
boot supplied boot block
For information on configuring rbootd under HP-UX, see the rbootd(1M)
manual page on your server system.
rootimage.gz gzipped root filesystem image
NOTE: This requires that gzip be
installed on your HP-UX system.
If it is not, a gzip binary is
provided in the install/ directory.
Source for gzip may be found in the
gsrc10 distribution set. Again, this
gzip is an HP-UX 7.x binary.
Once `rbootd' is configured and running, you will be ready to continue.
If you wish to label any additional disks, you will have to do this
from NetBSD, although you will not have an editor at your disposal.
To do this, simply generate the labels now, and then grab them at
the same time and by the same method you use to grab the distrubtion
sets.
------------------ End of network boot-specific section ----------------------
Once this is done, you should be ready to boot NetBSD from the target
disk.
Make sure that the miniroot filesystem image has been un-gzipped, and
that it resides in a filesystem what is exported to the client. See the
manual pages on your server system if you need more information about
exporting filesystems.
You are now ready to SYS_INST. During the client's self-test cycle, press
the space bar a few times. Shortly, you should see a menu of possible boot
options appear. Select the option corresponding to SYS_INST. SYS_INST will
load and prompt you for a command.
If this is a new NetBSD installation, you will need to place a disklabel
on the disk.
sys_inst> disklabel
NOTE: it may be worth selecting the `zap' option initially to ensure that
the disklabel area is clear. This may be especially important if an
HP-UX boot block had been previously installed on the disk.
Select the `edit' option, and answer the questions about your disk.
There may be several questions which you may not be sure of the answers
to. Listed below are guidelines for SCSI and HP-IB disks:
Bad sectoring? NO
Ecc? NO
Interleave? 1
Trackskew? 0
Cylinderskew? 0
Headswitch? 0
Track-to-track? 0
Drivedata 0-4? 0 (for all Drivedata values)
Next, you will be asked to fill out the partition map. You must provide
responses for all 8 partitions. Remember, you must allocate at least 6M
for the `b' partition, or else the miniroot will not fit. Set the size and
offset of any unused partition to 0. Note that sizes and offsets are
expressed in `n sectors', assuming 512 byte sectors. Care should be taken
to ensure that partitions begin and end on cylinder boundaries (i.e. size
and offset is an even multiple of the number of sectors per cylinder).
While this is not technically necessary, it is generally encouraged. Note
that you cannot enter partition types at this time. You will be given an
oppotinuty to `clean up' the disklabel later on in the installation procedure.
Once you have edited the label, select the `show' option to verify that
it is correct. If so, select `write' and `done'. Otherwise, you may
re-edit the label.
The next step is to copy the miniroot image onto the target disk.
sys_inst> miniroot
You will be prompted for the target disk and the source of the miniroot
filesytem image.
Enter the filename of the miniroot image. Note that this file _must_ reside
in the server directory being mounted. Next you will be asked for the
client's IP address, netmask, and default router, the server's IP address,
and the directory on the server to mount. Once you have entered this
information, SYS_INST will attempt to mount the NFS server and begin copying
the miniroot filesystem to the `b' partition of the target disk.
Is is worth noting that this copy may take a while. It might be worth
grabbing a cup of coffee at this point.
Once the miniroot filesystem image has been copied onto the target disk,
you may boot from the miniroot filesystem.
sys_inst> boot
Enter the disk from which to boot. The kernel in the miniroot filesystem
will be booted into single-user mode.

There is no previous release of NetBSD/hp300 to upgrade.
It is possible to easily upgrade your existing NetBSD/hp300 system
using the upgrade program in the miniroot. If you wish to upgrade
your system by this method, simply select the `upgrade' option once
the miniroot has booted. The upgrade program with then guide you
through the procedure. The upgrade program will:
* Enable the network based on your system's current
network configuration.
* Mount your existing filesystems.
* Extract binary sets from the media of your choice.
* Fixup your system's existing /etc/fstab, changing the
occurrences of `ufs' to `ffs' and let you edit the
resulting file.
* Make new device nodes in your root filesystem.
* Copy a new kernel onto your root partition.
NOTE: the existing kernel WILL NOT be backed up; doing
so would be pointless, since a NetBSD 1.0 kernel will
not run NetBSD 1.1 executables.
* Install a new boot block.
* Check your filesystems for integrity.
While using the miniroot's upgrade program is the preferred method
of upgrading your system, it is possible to upgrade your system
manually. To do this, follow the following procedure:
* Place _at least_ the `base' binary set in a filesystem
accessible to the target machine. A local filesystem
is preferred, since there may be incompatibilities
between the NetBSD 1.1 kernel and older route(8)
binaries.
* Back up your pre-existing kernel and copy the 1.1
kernel into your root partition.
* Reboot with the 1.1 kernel into single-user mode.
* Check all filesystems:
/sbin/fsck -p
* Mount all local filesystems:
/sbin/mount -a -t nonfs
* If you keep /usr or /usr/share on an NFS server, you
will want to mount those filesystems as well. To do
this, you will need to enable the network:
sh /etc/netstart
NOTE: the route(8) commands may fail due to potential
incompatibilities between route(8) and the NetBSD 1.1
kernel. Once you have enabled the network, mount the
NFS filesystems. If you use amd(8), you may or may not
have to mount these filesystems manually. Your mileage
may vary.
* Make sure you are in the root filesystem and extract
the `base' binary set:
cd /
tar --unlink -zxvpf /path/to/base11.tar.gz
NOTE: the `--unlink' option is _very_ important!
* Install a new boot block:
cd /usr/mdec
disklabel -B <root disk, e.g. sd0>
* Sync the filesystems:
sync
* At this point you may extract any other binary sets
you may have placed on local filesystems, or you may
wish to extract additional sets at a later time.
To extract these sets, use the following commands:
cd /
tar --unlink -zxvpf <path to set>
NOTE: you SHOULD NOT extract the `etc' set if upgrading. Instead, you
should extract that set into another area and carefully merge the changes
by hand.

Installation is supported from several media types, including:
Tape
NFS partitions
CD-ROM
NFS
FTP
The steps necessary to prepare the distribution sets
@ -9,70 +10,71 @@ you choose. The various methods are explained below.
To prepare for installing via a tape:
To install NetBSD from a tape, you need to somehow
get the NetBSD filesets you wish to install on
your system on to the appropriate kind of tape,
in tar format.
If you wish to load SYS_INST from tape, it must
appear on the tape before any other files. To copy
this onto tape, use a command like the following:
If you're making the tape on a UN*X system, the easiest
way to do so is:
dd if=SYS_INST of=<tape_device> bs=20b
tar cvf <tape_device> <files>
Note that not all HP BOOTROMs support booting from
SCSI tapes.
where "<tape_device>" is the name of the tape device
that describes the tape drive you're using (possibly
something like /dev/nrst0, but we make no guarantees 8-).
Under HP-UX, this would be something like /dev/rmt/c0ed03inb.
Again, your mileage may vary. If you can't figure it out,
ask your system administrator. "<files>" are the names
of the "set_name.nnn" files which you want to be placed
on the tape.
Copying the miniroot to disk from tape is not currently
supported. However, it is planned for a future release.
Once you have done this, you can proceed to the next
step in the installation process, preparing your
system for NetBSD installation.
If you wish to extract binary sets onto your disk from
tape, you must first place them on the tape. The easiest
way to do this is with the dd(1) command. Make sure you
use a `no-rewind-on-close' tape device. For example:
To prepare for installing via an NFS partition:
for file in base11.tar.gz etc11.tar.gz; do
dd if=${file} of=/dev/nrst0 bs=20b
done
NOTE: this method of installation is recommended
only for those already familiar with using
the BSD network-manipulation commands and
interfaces. If you aren't, this documentation
should help, but is not intended to be
all-encompassing.
Note that depending on your tape drive, you may need to
explicitly set the EOF marker at the end of each file.
It may also be necessary to use the `conv=osync' argument
to dd(1). Note that this argument is incompatible with the
`bs=' argument. Consult the tape-related manual pages on the
system where the tapes are created for more details.
Place the NetBSD software you wish to install into
a directory on an NFS server, and make that directory
mountable by the machine which you will be installing
NetBSD on. This will probably require modifying the
/etc/exports file of the NFS server and resetting
mountd, acts which will require superuser privileges.
Note the numeric IP address of the NFS server and of
the router closest to the the new NetBSD machine,
if the NFS server is not on a network which is
directly attached to the NetBSD machine.
To prepare for installing via NFS:
Once you have done this, you can proceed to the next
step in the installation process, preparing your
system for NetBSD installation.
SYS_INST currently requires an NFS server from which to
copy the miniroot.
* This filesystem must be exported with root permissions,
but may be exported read-only.
* The miniroot image _must_ reside in the `root' of the
mounted filesystem. For example, if the client system
mounts `server:/u', then the miniroot image must reside
in /u on the server. This is due to limitations in the
file lookup code used in SYS_INST, and may be fixed in
a future release.
* If you also wish to install the binary sets from the
NFS server, place them in a properly exported filesystem
on the server. Note that these files do not suffer from
the same placement restrictions as the miniroot.
To prepare for installing via FTP:
NOTE: this method of installation is recommended
only for those already familiar with using
the BSD network-manipulation commands and
interfaces. If you aren't, this documentation
should help, but is not intended to be
all-encompassing.
It is possible, using the `install' and `upgrade'
programs in the miniroot, to extract the binary sets
directly onto disk from an FTP server. This is by far
the easiest installation method, as you may specify to
have all sets extracted at once, providing that they
are located in the same directory on the server.
The preparations for this method of installation
are easy: all you have to do is make sure that
there's some FTP site from which you can retrieve
the NetBSD installation when it's time to do
the install. You should know the numeric IP
address of that site, the numeric IP address of
your nearest router if one is necessary
All that is required in this case is that you have
network access to an FTP server. This may be your
account on another system, or may even be ftp.NetBSD.ORG
itself. If you wish to use ftp.NetBSD.ORG as your FTP
file server, you may want to keep the following information
handy:
Once you have done this, you can proceed to the next
step in the installation process, preparing your
system for NetBSD installation.
