$NetBSD: contents,v 1.11 1998/01/14 06:50:26 scottr Exp $ The Atari-specific portion of the NetBSD _VER release is found in the "atari" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid out as follows: .../NetBSD-_VER/atari/ SOURCE_DATE the date, in the default format produced by the date(1) command, of the source that the release was built from INSTALL these installation notes binary/ atari system binaries; see below. installation/ installation helper items The NetBSD/atari system binaries include the NetBSD/atari binary distribution sets, additional kernels, and security-related system binaries. The NetBSD _VER release for the atari port comprises those files found in the "atari/binary/sets" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution tree. There are seven system distribution sets, two kernel distribution sets, and four X distribution sets. The files in the "sets" subdirectory are as follows: base.tgz The NetBSD/atari _VER base binary distribution. You MUST install this distribution set. It contains the base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the system to run and be minimally functional. It includes shared library support, and excludes everything described below. [ 8.6M gzipped, 25.1M uncompressed ] comp.tgz The NetBSD/atari Compiler tools; all of the tools relating to C and C++. This set includes the system include files (/usr/include), the linker, the compiler tool chain, and the various system libraries (except the shared libraries, which are included as part of the base set). This set also includes the manual pages for all of the utilities it contains, as well as the system call and library manual pages. [ 6.2M gzipped, 21.6M uncompressed ] etc.tgz This distribution set contains the system configuration files that reside in /etc and in several other places. This set MUST be installed if you are installing the system from scratch, but should NOT be used if you are upgrading. (If you are upgrading, it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and CAREFULLY upgrade your configuration files by hand.) [ 49K gzipped, 288K uncompressed ] games.tgz This set includes the games and their manual pages. [ 2.8M gzipped, 7.2M uncompressed ] kern.tgz The NetBSD/atari _VER kernel binary. You should kern_hades.tgz install the appropriate kernel for your system. kern_x.tgz [ 472K gzipped, 1.01M uncompressed ] man.tgz This set includes all of the manual pages for the binaries and other software contained in the base set. Note that it does not include any of the manual pages that are included in the other sets. [ 2.2M gzipped, 8.8M uncompressed ] misc.tgz This set includes the system dictionaries (which are rather large), the typesettable document set, and man pages for other architectures which happen to be installed from the source tree by default. [ 2.1M gzipped, 7.6M uncompressed ] text.tgz This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools, including groff, all related programs, and their manual pages. [ 1.0M gzipped, 3.7M uncompressed ] xbase.tgz X clients, shared libraries, and related man pages. Also includes bitmaps and miscellaneous configuration files. [ 2.34 M gzipped, 7.46M uncompressed ] xcomp.tgz Static libraries, include files (except bitmaps), X config files (for xmkmf), and related man pages. [ 1.57M gzipped, 6.38M uncompressed ] xcontrib.tgz User-contributed X binaries (e.g. xev, xload) built from the X11 "contrib" sources with man pages and default config files. [ 178K gzipped, 661K uncompressed ] xfont.tgz X11 fonts. [ 5.66M gzipped, 6.99M uncompressed ] [* Note: an X server distribution set is currently not available.] The NetBSD/atari security distribution set is named "secr.tgz" and can be found in the "atari/binary/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution tree. It contains the crypt libraries (for the DES encryption algorithm) and the binaries built from the "src/domestic" portion of the NetBSD source tree which depend on it. It can only be found on those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that can legally obtain it. (Remember, because of United States law, it may not be legal to distribute this set to locations outside of the United States and Canada.) [ 779K gzipped, 2.5M uncompressed ] The atari binary distribution sets are distributed as full .tar.gz files (with the extension .tgz because the software used to download the sets may incorrectly auto-unpack files ending in .gz and to accomodate systems which only support 3 character extensions to file names). 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 is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e. replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xvpf" from /. Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced. If you follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, this will be taken care of for you. Additional kernels to those included in the distribution sets may be found in the "atari/binary/kernel" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution tree. These kernels are generally named something like "netbsd.BOOT.gz" or some other suitable name. Please note that these kernels are simply gzipped and are not in tar archives. There are three atari floppy images to be found in the "atari/installation/floppies" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution. One of them is a bootable TOS kernel floppy and the other two are installation floppies. They are described in more detail below. There are gzipped versions of each available, for easier downloading. (The gzipped version have the ".gz" extension added to their names.) Bootable Kernel floppy: This TOS disk contains the loadbsd and chg_pid programs and a kernel. It is setup so that you can insert it int your floppy drive, and start the programs from GEM. For the TT030 and Falcon, the floppy is named boot-_SVER_S.fs and the kernel supplied is 'BOOT'. For the Hades, you need the hades-boot-_SVER_S.fs floppy. The kernel is 'HADES'. Installation floppy: This disk contains a BSD root file system setup to help you install the rest of NetBSD. This includes formatting and mounting your root and /usr partitions and getting ready to extract (and possibly first fetching) the distribution sets. There is enough on this file system to allow you to make a slip connection, configure an ethernet, mount an NFS file system or ftp. You can also load distribution sets from a SCSI tape or from one of your existing GEMDOS partitions. These floppies are named "miniroot.fs.1" and "miniroot.fs.2". There are also TOS utilities in the "atari/installation/misc" subdirectory, which you will need to get NetBSD/Atari 'up-and-running'. The "gzip.ttp" program allows you to uncompress .gz images. The usage is "gzip.ttp -d filename.gz". The "rawwrite.ttp" program allows you to create the installation floppy disks from the files in the "atari/floppies" directory. The "aptck.ttp" program reads the partition tables present on a given disk and tries to interpret then the same way the NetBSD kernel does. If you have a disk on which GEMDOS and NetBSD are to co-exist, It is a good idea to run this before you begin the NetBSD/Atari installation just to check that the kernel's view of the partition tables agree with GEMDOS's view. If you have more than 3 partitions defined on a disk you will notice that the NetBSD/Atari partition starts one sector after the GEMDOS partition. This is to allow space for the auxilliary root for the 4th and subsequent partitions. The "loadbsd.ttp" program loads the NetBSD/Atari kernel from TOS (or MiNT, MultiTOS, etc.). Note: Each directory in the atari binary distribution also has its ----- own checksum files, just as the source distribution does: All BSDSUM files are historic BSD checksums for the various files in that directory, in the format produced by the command: cksum -o 1 . All CKSUM files are POSIX checksums for the various files in that directory, in the format produced by the command: cksum . All MD5 files are MD5 digests for the various files in that directory, in the format produced by the command: cksum -m . All SYSVSUM files are historic AT&T System V UNIX checksums for the various files in that directory, in the format produced by the command: cksum -o 2 . The MD5 digest is the safest checksum, followed by the POSIX checksum. The other two checksums are provided only to ensure that the widest possible range of system can check the integrity of the release files.
