If you're installing
|
|
.Nx*M
|
|
for the first time it's a good idea
|
|
to look at the partition sizes of disk you intend installing
|
|
.Nx
|
|
on.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Assuming a classic partition scheme with
|
|
.Pa /
|
|
(root) and
|
|
.Pa /usr
|
|
file systems, a comfortable size for the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
.Pa /
|
|
partition is about 64 MB;
|
|
a good initial size for the swap partition is twice the amount of physical
|
|
memory in your machine (though, unlike
|
|
.Tn SunOS
|
|
4.x, there are no restrictions
|
|
on the size of the swap partition that would render part of your memory
|
|
unusable).
|
|
A full binary installation including X11R6 takes nearly 200 MB in
|
|
.Pa /usr .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You cannot use the security modes of the SPARC OpenBoot PROM.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl ok Ic "setenv security-mode none"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Some network devices (i.e. certain SBus cards)
|
|
allow a choice between operating on a UTP or a AUI port.
|
|
The
|
|
.Li le
|
|
driver supports automatic detection of the port which is actually connected to
|
|
the wire.
|
|
If automatic detection is not available or not working properly in your
|
|
environment, you may have to specify the type connection using the
|
|
.Ar media
|
|
parameter of
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
|
|
During installation, you'll get the
|
|
opportunity to specify the appropriate medium.
|
|
Use
|
|
.Li 10base5/AUI
|
|
to select the AUI connector, or
|
|
.Li 10baseT/UTP
|
|
to select the UTP connector.
