Installation is supported from several media types, including:
|
|
.(bullet -compact
|
|
NFS
|
|
.It
|
|
FTP
|
|
.It
|
|
CD-ROM
|
|
.bullet)
|
|
.(Note
|
|
Installing on a "bare" machine requires some bootable device; either an MO
|
|
drive or a floppy. When the target has on-board Ethernet, NFS installation is
|
|
also available.

The procedure for transferring the distribution sets onto installation media
|
|
depends on the type of media. Instructions for each type of media are given
|
|
below.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In order to create installation media, you will need all the files and
|
|
subdirectories in these two directories:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl Pa \&.../NetBSD-\*V/macppc/installation
|
|
.Dl Pa \&.../NetBSD-\*V/macppc/binary
|
|
.
|
|
.Ss2 Boot/Install from NFS server
|
|
.
|
|
If your machine has a disk and network connection and on-board Ethernet, it may
|
|
be convenient for you to install
|
|
.Nx
|
|
over the network. This involves temporarily booting your machine over NFS,
|
|
just long enough so you can initialize its disk. This method requires that you
|
|
have access to an NFS server on your network so you can configure it to support
|
|
diskless boot for your machine. Configuring the NFS server is normally a task
|
|
for a system administrator, and is not trivial.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you are using a
|
|
.Nx
|
|
system as the boot-server, have a look at the
|
|
.Xr diskless 8
|
|
manual page for guidelines on how to proceed with this. If the server runs
|
|
another operating system, consult the documentation that came with it (i.e.
|
|
add_client(8) on SunOS).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.
|
|
Since
|
|
.Nx*M
|
|
does not have floppy disk support yet, you need MacOS or
|
|
another machine that can write the install kernel image to floppy.
