`install' script from the boot floppy (or boot kernel, if you
booted it via NFS with the INSTALL kernel).
3.1 Running Install
3.1 Manual Install from the Shell Prompt
The normal installation involves running the install shell script
and interactively configuring the file systems, and then simply
unpacking the tar files into these followed by running MAKEDEV.
However, it is also possible to do the installation yourself
from the shell, and in any case it is helpful to understand
what the install script does. The procedure is:
1. create /etc/disktab(5)
2. run disklabel(8),
3. run newfs(8)
4. mount(8) the new root on /mnt
5. cd to /usr/mdec and run ./installboot(8)
If you are reviewing man pages on NetBSD platforms other than
alpha, be sure when reading installboot that you read the alpha
version by typing: "man 8 alpha/installboot".
3.2 Running Install
When you first boot the INSTALL kernel you will be given the
options of `install' or `shell'. Choose `install' and the

The upgrade is done entirely `by hand.' You will need first to boot

distribution sets as described in section 5 of the installation

The upgrade is mainly a simple matter of unpacking the distribution

Finally, you will want to delete old binaries that were part of

of these programs are in /usr/sbin.
