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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The miniroot's install program will:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
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:
|
|
.Bd -ragged
|
|
fstype: 4.2BSD
|
|
fsize: 1024
|
|
bsize: 4096
|
|
cpg: 16
|
|
.Ed
|
|
If the partition will be a swap partition, use the following:
|
|
.Bd -ragged
|
|
fstype: swap
|
|
fsize: 0 (or blank)
|
|
bsize: 0 (or blank)
|
|
cpg: 0 (or blank)
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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'.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Anything after a `#' is a comment.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following is an example disklabel partition map:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
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)

|

Create filesystems on target partitions.
|
|
.It
|
|
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.
|
|
.It
|
|
Mount target filesystems. You will be given the opportunity
|
|
to manually edit the resulting
|
|
.Pa /etc/fstab .
|
|
.It
|
|
Extract binary sets from the media of your choice.
|
|
.It
|
|
Copy configuration information gathered during the
|
|
installation process to your root filesystem.
|
|
.It
|
|
Make device nodes in your root filesystem.
|
|
.It
|
|
Copy a new kernel onto your root partition.
|
|
.It
|
|
Install a new boot block.
|
|
.It
|
|
Check your filesystems for integrity.

|
|
First-time installation on a system through a method other than the
|
|
installation program is possible, but strongly discouraged.
