Installation is supported from several media types, including:
|
|
* TOS HD partitions
|
|
* Tape
|
|
|
|
No matter what you do, however, you'll need to have three disks handy,
|
|
on which you will put the install and boot floppy images.
|
|
|
|
All the images are available from the directory "atari/floppies",
|
|
under the root of the NetBSD tree at your favorite archive site.
|
|
|
|
If you are using NetBSD/atari to make the floppies, you should use
|
|
the command dd(1) to write the raw floppy images (.fs files) to
|
|
the disk. To write onto fd0 use:
|
|
|
|
dd if=miniroot-12.fs.1 of=/dev/rfd0b bs=9b
|
|
|
|
If you are using TOS to make the floppies, grab the 'rawwrite' utility
|
|
from the "atari/utils" directory and issue the command:
|
|
rawwrite miniroot-12.fs
|
|
|
|
This will create the boot-floppy on the floppy in drive a. The floppies
|
|
should be pre-formatted on 720Kb for both the 'dd' and 'rawwrite' commands
|
|
to work. Pre-formatting can be best done using the desktop format command.
|
|
Some other utilities seem to be giving problems.
|
|
|
|
The steps necessary to prepare the distribution sets
|
|
for installation depend on which method of installation
|
|
you choose. The various methods are explained below.
|
|
|
|
To prepare for installing via an GEMDOS partition:
|
|
|
|
To install NetBSD from an GEMDOS partition, you need to
|
|
get the NetBSD distribution sets you wish to install
|
|
on your system on to an GEMDOS partition. Rename the
|
|
sets from xxx.tar.gz to xxx.tgz.
|
|
|
|
Note where you placed the files, you will need this later.
|
|
|
|
Once you have done this, you can proceed to the next
|
|
step in the installation process, preparing your hard disk.
|
|
|
|
To prepare for installing via a tape:
|
|
|
|
To install NetBSD from a tape, you need to somehow
|
|
get the NetBSD filesets you wish to install on
|
|
your system on to the appropriate kind of tape. If you make
|
|
the tape on a UN*X-like system, you can create it as follows:
|
|
|
|
cd .../NetBSD-1.2/atari/binary
|
|
T=<tape_device>
|
|
mt -f $T rewind
|
|
for f in base etc comp games man misc text
|
|
dd if=$f.tar.gz of=$T conv=sync bs=5k
|
|
done
|
|
mt -f $T rewind
|
|
|
|
where "<tape_device>" is the name of the (non-rewinding!) tape
|
|
device that you're using (probably something like /dev/nrst0,
|
|
but we make no guarantees 8-).
|
|
If you can't figure it out, ask your system administrator.
|
|
|
|
Once you have done this, you can proceed to the next
|
|
step in the installation process, preparing your hard disk.
