If you encounter any problems, please report them via the mailing list or the

|
|
.Pp
|
|
To install or upgrade
|
|
.Nx ,
|
|
you need to first boot an installation
|
|
program and then interact with the screen-menu program
|
|
.Ic sysinst .
|
|
The installation program actually consists of the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
kernel plus an in-memory file system of utility programs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The usual procedure is to write the installation system to a floppy
|
|
disk set and then boot from the floppies, however, there
|
|
are now six ways to boot the
|
|
.Nx*M
|
|
installation system!
|
|
Each approach loads the exact same installation bits.
|
|
The six paths are:
|
|
.Pp
|

Magnetic Tape Boot
|

|
Existing Root FS Boot
|
|
.It
|
|
Network boot
|
|
.bullet)
|
|
.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In all cases, you need to transfer a
|
|
bootable image of the installation system
|
|
from the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
CD or from an ftp site to the chosen media type.
|
|
Although booting from floppy is the usual path, the
|
|
hard drive boot is useful if you have another operating system (and a spare
|
|
drive) already installed, or if you don't mind swapping hard drives from
|
|
box to box.
|
|
CD and tape boots are nice and fast if you have a CD writer
|
|
or a tape format in common with another previously installed
|
|
.Ul
|
|
system.
|
|
Finally, most versions of SRM can locate the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
boot program
|
|
.Ic netboot
|
|
via bootp and download it via tftp,
|
|
.Ic netboot
|
|
then mounts the root file system
|
|
.Pq Pa /
|
|
via NFS and loads the kernel.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that if you are installing or upgrading from a writable media,
|
|
the media can be write-protected if you wish.
|
|
These systems mount a root image from inside the kernel, and will not
|
|
need to write to the media.
|
|
If you booted from a floppy, the floppy disk may be removed from
|
|
the drive after the system has booted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.
|
|
.(bullet
|
|
Floppy disk boot
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The 3.5", 1.44 MB boot floppy set is found under the
|
|
.Nx*M
|
|
\*V distribution directory in
|
|
.Pa \*M/installation/floppy/
|
|
as two files called
|
|
.Pa disk1of2
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa disk2of2 ,
|
|
or as three files called
|
|
.Pa disk1of3 ,
|
|
.Pa disk2of3 ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa disk3of3 .
|
|
You need to put these disk images on two or three floppy disks.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you have a
|
|
.Ul
|
|
system handy, you can do this with commands
|
|
like the following:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl # Ic "dd if=disk1of3 of=/dev/rfd0a bs=18k"
|
|
.Dl # Ic "dd if=disk2of3 of=/dev/rfd0a bs=18k"
|
|
.Dl # Ic "dd if=disk3of3 of=/dev/rfd0a bs=18k"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Ul
|
|
system you are using is not a
|
|
.Nx
|
|
system, you will probably need to replace
|
|
.Li /dev/rfd0a
|
|
with the name of the floppy device on your particular system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you have an
|
|
.Tn MS-DOS
|
|
or
|
|
.Tn Windows
|
|
system available, you can use
|
|
the
|
|
.Ic rawrite.exe
|
|
utility to transfer the image to a floppy
|
|
disk.
|
|
This utility is provided with the
|
|
.Nx Ns /i386
|
|
install tools, under
|
|
.Pa i386/installation/misc ;
|
|
a documentation file,
|
|
.Ic rawrite.doc
|
|
is available there as well.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Once the floppy has been made, you simply need to put it in the
|
|
drive and type
|
|
.Pp
|
|

|
.It
|
|
Hard Drive boot
|
|
.It
|
|
Magnetic Tape Boot
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All three of these media types use the same initial image:
|
|
.Pa \&.../installation/diskimage/cdhdtape
|
|
The image can be written to a hard drive partition with a command
|
|
like:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl # Ic "dd if=cdhdtape bs=16k of=/dev/rsd0c"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To boot from a magnetic tape device such as
|
|
.Tn DAT
|
|
or
|
|
.Tn DLT ,
|
|
it is important
|
|
to create the tape image with 512-byte records.
|
|
Use a command like:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl # Ic "dd if=cdhdtape bs=512 of=/dev/rst0"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the host system is not
|
|
.Nx ,
|
|
the names of the destination devices are likely to be different.
|
|
Be sure to use a
|
|
.Dq raw partition
|
|
device that doesn't skip over labels!
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The use of CD-R devices varies greatly depending on the host OS
|
|
and host software; it isn't possible to give typical instructions here.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It
|
|
Existing Root FS Boot
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The installation subdirectory
|
|
.Pa instkernel/
|
|
contains
|
|
.Pa netbsd.gz ;
|
|
this is the same install kernel but without a bootable file system
|
|
image wrapped around it.
|
|
You can perform an complete reinstall by beginning it as an upgrade,
|
|
and booting this kernel in the normal way off the root file system
|
|
.Pq Pa /
|
|
of a previous installation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The gzipped image can be booted directly; it is not necessary to
|
|
uncompress it first.
|
|
.Pp

|
.It
|
|
Network Boot
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Booting
|
|
.Nx*M
|
|
\*V over a network requires a BOOTP or
|
|
DHCP server, a TFTP server and an NFS server.
|
|
(These are usually all run on the same machine.)
|
|
There are three basic stages to the boot:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
.(bullet
|
|
\*M console software sends a BOOTP request to get its
|
|
own address, the address of the TFTP server and the file to
|
|
download.
|
|
It downloads this file, which is the second stage bootstrap,
|
|
via TFTP and then executes it.
|
|
.It
|
|
The secondary boot program resends the BOOTP request, this
|
|
time also locating the NFS server and root path.
|
|
It mounts the root path via NFS and reads in and transfers to the kernel:
|
|
.Pa /netbsd .
|
|
.It
|
|
The kernel probes and configures the devices, and then sends
|
|
out another BOOTP request so it can find out its address, the NFS
|
|
server, and path.
|
|
It then mounts its root
|
|
.Pq Pa /
|
|
via NFS and continues.
|
|
.bullet)
|
|
.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You will need to set up servers for BOOTP, TFTP and NFS.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you want to run a full system
|
|
from the network, untar the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
snapshot or distribution
|
|
into a directory on your server and NFS export that directory
|
|
to the client.
|
|
Make sure you put a kernel there as well, and create the device nodes in
|
|
.Pa /dev
|
|
with
|
|
.Ic sh ./MAKEDEV all .
|
|
Detailed instructions on netbooting can be found by visiting the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
\*M platform page:
|
|
.Lk http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/\*M
|
|
.Pp
|
|
At the time of this
|
|
release, the URL for the netbooting instructions is:
|
|
.Lk http://www.NetBSD.org/Documentation/network/netboot/
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You'll want to map root to
|
|
.Li root
|
|
(rather than the default
|
|
.Li nobody )
|
|
when you export your root file system
|
|
.Pq Pa / .
|
|
A typical
|
|
.Pa /etc/exports
|
|
line on a
|
|
.Nx
|
|
system would be:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl /usr/export/\*M -maproot=0 myclient.mydom.com
|
|
.Pp
|
|
One option is to load just the install kernel over the network but then
|
|
proceed to a normal disk-based install and disk-based operation.
|
|
(Perhaps the \*M doesn't have a floppy drive, or you just don't
|
|
want to use a
|
|
.Tn Windows
|
|
system to make the floppy; we understand.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For this case, you still need to export an NFS root, but
|
|
the only thing it needs to have in it is the
|
|
.Li instkernel
|
|
image from the distribution.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The gzipped image can be booted directly; it is not necessary to
|
|
uncompress it first.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The console will be using TFTP to load the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
boot program,
|
|
so for the TFTP setup, you need to copy the second stage bootstrap,
|
|
.Ic netboot ,
|
|
into an appropriately named file such as
|
|
.Li boot.netbsd.\*M
|
|
in the directory used by your TFTP server.
|
|
If you extracted a full snapshot, you can get the netboot program from
|
|
.Pa /usr/mdec/netboot ;
|
|
if not, you can get this from the
|
|
.Pa installation/netboot
|
|
directory where you found the \*M distribution.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For the BOOTP server you need to specify the:
|
|
.
|
|
.(bullet -compact -offset indent
|
|
hardware type (Ethernet)
|
|
.It
|
|
hardware address (Ethernet MAC address)
|

IP address of the client
|
|
.It
|
|
subnet mask of the client
|
|
.It
|
|
address of of the TFTP/NFS server
|
|
.It
|
|
name of the second stage bootstrap loaded via TFTP
|
|
.It
|
|
path to the root for the client (mounted via NFS)
|
|
.bullet)
|
|
.

Here's an example for a

And here's an example for a

system running the ISC
|
|
.Ic dhcpd :
|
|
.(disp
|
|
host axp {

option domain-name "my.domain";
|
|
}
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The only Ethernet device the console on most \*M systems
|
|
knows how to boot from is the onboard Ethernet interface or a
|
|
.Tn DEC
|
|
Tulip (21040, 21041, 21140) PCI Ethernet card.
|
|
Some older SMC 100 Mbps cards that use this chip have been known to
|
|
work as well.
|
|
Many older systems will not be able to use the newer 2.0 stepping
|
|
of the 21140, however.
|
|
If your system appears not to be receiving packets, this may be the problem.
|
|
(You may or may not be able to update your firmware to fix this; see
|
|
the \*M port pages on
|
|
.Lk http://www.NetBSD.org/
|
|
for more information on this.)
|
|
In general, 10 Mb cards from manufacturers other than
|
|
.Tn DEC
|
|
will work, and 100 Mb cards not from
|
|
.Tn DEC
|
|
will not.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Once you're set up, you should be able to boot with:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl \*>\*>\*> Ic "boot -proto bootp ewa0"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You should permanently set your protocol to
|
|
.Tn BOOTP
|
|
with:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl \*>\*>\*> Ic "set ewa0_protocols bootp"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The 3000 series of Turbochannel systems and certain other models use
|
|
.Em old SRM ,
|
|
do not have a
|
|
.Fl proto
|
|
option and use different device names.
|
|
They also tend to not netboot very well so you probably don't
|
|
need to worry about this section.
|
|
However, if you want to give it a try, note the following differences:
|
|
.(bullet -offset indent
|
|
There is no
|
|
.Fl proto
|
|
argument, or
|
|
.Ic ewa0_protocols
|
|
variable.
|
|
Old SRM uses bootp if the device name is given as
|
|
.Sy ez0 .
|
|
.It
|
|
The use of the
|
|
.Xr setnetbootinfo 8
|
|
program will probably also be necessary, as it is unlikely that an SRM
|
|
from that era will properly communicate the ethernet HW address to the
|
|
boot program.

.Ss2 Manual and script-assisted installation
|
|
.
|
|
All of the installation procedures consist of
|
|
putting a label on the disk to provide information on
|
|
the sizes and placement of the partitions into which the disk
|
|
is divided, putting the boot blocks on the disk, creating the
|
|
file systems on the partitions, and unpacking the distribution
|
|
tar archives.

|
Manual Install from the Shell Prompt
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
However, as stated above 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:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
.(bullet -compact

|
create

|
|
cd to

|
|
and run
|
|
.Xr installboot 8
|
|
.bullet)
|
|
.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you are reviewing man pages on
|
|
.Nx
|
|
platforms other than \*M, be sure that when reading
|
|
.Xr installboot 8
|
|
you read the \*M version by typing:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl # Ic man 8 \*M/installboot
|
|
.Pp
|
|
At this point you need only unpack the distribution sets by running
|
|
.Xr tar 1
|
|
as described below.
|
|
.It B.
|
|
.Pa /install
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa /upgrade
|
|
traditional installation scripts
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa install
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa upgrade
|
|
scripts are still there, so by exiting the
|
|
.Ic sysinst
|
|
program you can type
|
|
.Li install
|
|
or
|
|
.Li upgrade
|
|
at the shell prompt and run them as you did in the good old days.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You may install
|
|
on either a SCSI or an IDE disk; you will be prompted for
|
|
the disk to install on.
|
|
The disks in your system will be numbered starting at
|
|
.Em x Ns Li d0
|
|
(where
|
|
.Em x
|
|
is an
|
|
.Sq Li s
|
|
for SCSI disks,
|
|
.Sq Li w
|
|
for IDE disks) based on the SCSI-ID or IDE drive order; if you have
|
|
more than one disk, watch the boot messages carefully to see
|
|
which ones are probed as which numbers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Once you've selected a disk to install on, you'll be prompted
|
|
for the geometry.
|
|
This is also displayed in the boot messages,
|
|
and you'll be given a chance to review the boot messages again
|
|
to get the exact figures for the number of cylinders, heads
|
|
and sectors.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After this you must specify the size of your partitions.
|
|
Generally you'll be giving the sizes in cylinders; the install
|
|
program will tell you how many bytes there are in each cylinder.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The swap partition is the second thing you specify, after the
|
|
.Pa /
|
|
(root) partition.
|
|
Regardless of the size of your disk, you'll
|
|
want to specify a swap partition that's at least as large as
|
|
the amount of RAM you have, and probably not less than 64 MB
|
|
in any case.
|
|
.Pp

If you have a small disk (under 500 MB), it's probably best to
|
|
devote all of the disk (excepting 64 MB or more for the swap)
|
|
to the
|
|
.Pa /
|
|
(root) partition.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you have more space, we recommend devoting at least 32 MB,
|
|
and preferably 48 MB, to the
|
|
.Pa /
|
|
(root) partition.
|
|
.Pa /usr
|
|
will need 150 MB or so if you're not installing X, 200 MB or so if you are.
|
|
A typical organization is 50 MB for
|
|
.Pa /
|
|
(root), 150-250 MB for
|
|
swap, and the remaining space for
|
|
.Pa /usr .
|
|
With enough swap space configured, you can make
|
|
.Pa /tmp
|
|
a nice, fast mfs.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr mount_mfs 8 ,
|
|
and note that the mfs will require swap space for
|
|
the largest planned amount of
|
|
.Pa /tmp
|
|
storage.
|
|
It doesn't return space when files are deleted,
|
|
but just keeps it its own freelist so the swap space required is
|
|
equal to the highwater mark of
|
|
.Pa /tmp
|
|
use, plus space required to back up main memory and store inactive images.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Once you've specified this information, the install script will
|
|
write the disklabel, install boot blocks to make the disk
|
|
bootable, initialise the file systems, and mount them all under
|
|
.Pa /mnt .
|
|
You are now ready to go on to the next step.

Configuration: arranging access to the distribution sets
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After doing the disk and file system setup with either
|
|
shell commands or the script assist, you then need only
|
|
unpack the distribution sets with the
|
|
.Xr tar 1
|
|
command.
|
|
To do this you will need access from the target host to the tar files
|
|
that contain the operating system in order to extract them to your disk.
|
|
This is done via an NFS or FTP transfer over a network,
|
|
via a CD-ROM archive, a tape archive, or by preloading an accessible hard
|
|
drive with the necessary tar files.

Preparing to Install from a CD-ROM
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All you need to do is mount the CD-ROM, which will generally
|
|
be device cd0.
|
|
(The initial boot messages will tell you what
|
|
the CD-ROM drive is probed as.)
|
|
This would be done with:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl # Ic "mount -r -t cd9660 /dev/cd0a /mnt2"
|
|
.It
|
|
Preparing to Install from the Network
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The first thing you need to do is configure the loopback network
|
|
interface, which is done with the command
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl # Ic "ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Then you will have to configure your Ethernet card.
|
|
The command
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl # Ic "ifconfig -l"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
will give you a list of the network interfaces on your system.
|
|
It will show you your ethernet cards first, followed by lo0
|
|
(the loopback interface that we configured above), ppp0 (the
|
|
PPP interface) and sl0 (the SLIP interface).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To configure your ethernet card, type
|
|
.Ic ifconfig Ar if Li inet
|
|
.Ar addr
|
|
.Op Li netmask
|
|
.Op Li media Ar media
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar if
|
|
is the network card (interface), almost always
|
|
.Li de0 ,
|
|
.Ar addr
|
|
is the IP address, the optional
|
|
.Ar netmask
|
|
parameter is the network mask,
|
|
and the optional
|
|
.Ar media
|
|
parameter is one of:
|
|
.
|

If the host you are getting the data files from is not on the
|
|
local network, you will also have to configure a gateway into your system.
|
|
Do this with
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl # Ic "route add default \*<gateway-IP-address\*>"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
One improvement over the good old days is that the resolver is now
|
|
present; by configuring
|
|
.Pa /etc/resolv.conf
|
|
you can get name resolution during any install NFS or FTP operations.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Once networking has been configured, you may mount the directory
|
|
with the install files via NFS, or download them via FTP.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To mount them via nfs, type
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl # Ic "mount -t nfs \*<hostname:/path/to/nfs/volume\*> /mnt2"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If this volume has been exported read-only, you may need the
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
option to mount.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To download the install sets with ftp, create a directory in
|
|
which to put them and then use the ftp client to download them.
|
|
Mirror sites are listed at:
|
|
.Lk http://www.NetBSD.org/mirrors/
|
|
A typical session might be:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl # Ic mkdir /mnt/usr/release
|
|
.Dl # Ic cd /mnt/usr/release
|
|
.Dl # Ic ftp ftp.NetBSD.org
|
|
.D1 Em "the following commands are given to the " Ic ftp Em "program after logging in"
|

.Dl ftp\*> Ic "prompt"

.Dl ftp\*> Ic "cd /pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-\*V/\*M/binary/sets"
|
|
.Dl ftp\*> Ic "mget *"
|
|
.Dl ftp\*> Ic "quit"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Feel free, of course, to leave off the sets that you don't need
|
|
if you don't plan to install everything.

Unpack distribution sets: Extracting the Operating System Files

Change to the root directory of your hard
|
|
drive (which is
|
|
.Pa /mnt
|
|
if you've used the standard install script
|
|
to this point) by typing
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl # Ic "cd /mnt"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For this and the following commands, replace
|
|
.Pa /mnt/usr/release/
|
|
with the path to your NFS volume or CD-ROM if that's how you
|
|
chose to access your install files instead.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The sets and kernel are extracted with:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl # Ic "cd /mnt"
|
|
.Dl # Ic "for i in base kern comp etc games man misc text; do"
|
|
.Dl Ic "\ \ \ \ tar -zxpf /mnt/usr/release/$i.tgz;"
|
|
.Dl # Ic "done"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
or perhaps:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl # Ic "cd /mnt"
|
|
.Dl # Ic "for i in /mnt/usr/release/*.tgz; do"
|
|
.Dl Ic "\ \ \ \ echo $i"
|
|
.Dl Ic "\ \ \ \ tar -zxpf $i"
|
|
.Dl # Ic "done"
|
|

|

Now make the device nodes:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl # Ic "cd /mnt/dev"
|
|
.Dl # Ic "sh ./MAKEDEV all"
|
|
.It
|
|
Restart your system
|
|
.Pp
|

Unmount the file systems and halt.
|

The exact instructions to type here will depend on the file systems
|

you created, but typically the commands are:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl # Ic "cd /"
|
|
.Dl # Ic "umount /mnt/usr"
|
|
.Dl # Ic "umount /mnt"
