The vax-specific portion of the NetBSD _VER release is found in the
|
|
"vax" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid
|
|
out as follows:
|
|
|
|
.../NetBSD-_VER/vax/
|
|
INSTALL Installation notes; this file.
|
|
|
|
binary/ vax binary distribution sets;
|
|
see below.
|
|
|
|
security/ vax security distribution;
|
|
see below.
|
|
|
|
tk50/ Files to install from tape.
|
|
|
|
rx50/ Files to install from RX50 floppy.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
netboot/ Files needed when netbooting.
|
|
|
|
.../vax/netboot/
|
|
|
|
There are a couple of files in the netboot directory; the boot program
|
|
in different flavours, a generic kernel and a miniroot image. The files
|
|
are described below:
|
|
|
|
boot The NetBSD loader program, needed to load the
|
|
kernel or any standalone program from disk/tape/net.
|
|
|
|
boot.mopformat The same as above, but in MOP format.
|
|
|
|
gennetbsd.gz A generic NetBSD/vax kernel, gzipped.
|
|
|
|
miniroot.tar.gz A tar'ed and gzipped miniroot, unpack this to
|
|
get a small netbooted environment.
|
|
|
|
.../vax/tk50/
|
|
.../vax/rx50/
|
|
.../vax/rx33/
|
|
|
|
In these directories there are splitted files of both a small boot
|
|
utility filesystem and a miniroot. See the section for installing
|
|
to get more about this.

|

.../vax/binary/
|
|
|
|
The NetBSD/vax binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
|
|
comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the vax. There are seven binary
|
|
distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary
|
|
distribution sets can be found in the "vax/binary" subdirectory of
|
|
the NetBSD _VER distribution tree, and are as follows:
|
|
|
|
base13 The NetBSD/vax _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.
|
|
[ 7.6M gzipped, 21.5M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
comp13 The NetBSD/vax 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.
|
|
[ 5.4M gzipped, 17.2M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
etc13 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.)
|
|
[ 68K gzipped, 350K uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
games13 This set includes the games and their manual pages.
|
|
[ 2.9M gzipped, 7.0M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
man13 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.
|
|
[ 0.9K gzipped, 3.5M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
misc13 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.
|
|
[ 1.9M gzipped, 6.5M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
text13 This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
|
|
including groff, all related programs, and their
|
|
manual pages.
|
|
[ 0.8M gzipped, 2.9M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
.../vax/security/
|
|
|
|
The vax security distribution set is named "secr13" and can be found
|
|
in the "vax/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution
|
|
tree. It contains executables which are built in the "src/domestic" portion
|
|
if the NetBSD source tree. 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, this distribution set may not be exported to
|
|
locations outside of the United States and Canada.)
|
|
[ 128K gzipped, 275K uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
The vax binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files.
|
|
Each vax binary distribution set also has its own "CKSUMS" file, just
|
|
as the source distribution sets do.
|
|
|
|
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 command:
|
|
|
|
tar --unlink -zxvpf set.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
from /. Note that the "--unlink" flags is very important!
|
|
|
|
For best results, it is recommended that you follow the installation
|
|
and/or upgrade procedures documented in this file.
