The miniroot's install program is very simple to use. It will guide
|
|
you through the entire process, and is well automated. If you need to
|
|
restart the installer, hit
|
|
.Key Control-C
|
|
which will return you to a shell prompt. From there, just start it over:
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No # Ic "./install"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The experimental RAM disk-based installer is not described here, but is
|
|
very self-explanatory.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The miniroot's install program will:
|
|
.(enum
|
|
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 file system parameters.
|
|
If you're unsure what these values should be, use the
|
|
following:
|
|
.(disp
|
|
fstype: 4.2BSD
|
|
fsize: 1024
|
|
bsize: 4096
|
|
cpg: 16
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the partition will be a swap partition, use the following:
|
|
.(disp
|
|
fstype: swap
|
|
fsize: 0 (or blank)
|
|
bsize: 0 (or blank)
|
|
cpg: 0 (or blank)
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You will also need to specify the number of partitions.
|
|
The number of partitions is determined by the
|
|
.Sq index
|
|
of
|
|
the last partition letter, where
|
|
.Li a
|
|
=
|
|
.Li 1 ,
|
|
.Li b
|
|
=
|
|
.Li 2 ,
|
|
etc.
|
|
Therefore, if the last filled partition is partition
|
|
.Sq Li g ,
|
|
there are 7 partitions. Any partitions with size of 0
|
|
may be removed from the list.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Anything after a
|
|
.Sq Li #
|
|
is a comment.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following is an example disklabel partition map:
|
|
.(disp
|
|
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 file systems on target partitions.

.Pp
|
|
.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
|
|
.Li foo
|
|
instead of
|
|
.Li 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.

First-time installation on a system through a method other than the

installation program is possible, but strongly discouraged.
