Once you've got the operating system running, there are a few
|
|
things you need to do in order to bring the system into a properly
|
|
configured state, with the most important ones described below.
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
Configuring
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you or the installation software haven't done any configuration of
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.conf ,
|
|
the system will drop you into single user mode on first reboot with the
|
|
message
|
|
.Dl /etc/rc.conf is not configured. Multiuser boot aborted.
|
|
and with the root filesystem mounted read-write. When the system
|
|
asks you to choose a shell, simply hit return to get to a
|
|
prompt. If you are asked for a terminal type, respond with
|
|
.ie r_pmax \{\
|
|
the correct terminal type as discussed in the
|
|
.Sx Once you've booted the diskimage
|
|
section.
|
|
.\}
|
|
.el \{\
|
|
.Ic vt220
|
|
(or whatever is appropriate for your terminal type)
|
|
.\}
|
|
and hit return. At this point, you need to configure at least
|
|
one file in the
|
|
.Pa /etc No directory. Change to the
|
|
.Pa /etc
|
|
directory and take a look at the
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
|
|
file. Modify it to your tastes, making sure that you set
|
|
.Li rc_configured=YES
|
|
so that your changes will be enabled and a multi-user boot can
|
|
proceed. If your
|
|
.Pa /usr No directory is on a separate partition
|
|
and you do not know how to use 'ed' or 'ex', you will have to mount your
|
|
.Pa /usr
|
|
partition to gain access to 'vi'. Do the following:
|
|
.ie r_pmax \{\
|
|
.D1 Ic "mount /usr
|
|
.D1 Ic "export TERM=termtype
|
|
.\}
|
|
.el \{\
|
|
.D1 Ic "mount /usr
|
|
.D1 Ic "export TERM=vt220
|
|
.\}
|
|
If you have
|
|
.Pa /var
|
|
on a seperate partition, you need to repeat
|
|
that step for it. After that, you can edit
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
|
|
with
|
|
.Xr vi 1 .
|
|
When you have finished, type
|
|
.Ic exit
|
|
at the prompt to
|
|
leave the single-user shell and continue with the multi-user boot.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Other values that need to be set in
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
|
|
for a networked environment are
|
|
.Ar hostname No and possibly
|
|
.Ar defaultroute ,
|
|
furthermore add an
|
|
.Ar ifconfig_int
|
|
for your interface
|
|
.Aq int ,
|
|
along the lines of
|
|
.ie r_pmax .Dl ifconfig_le0="inet 123.45.67.89 netmask 255.255.255.0"
|
|
.el .Dl ifconfig_de0="inet 123.45.67.89 netmask 255.255.255.0"
|
|
or, if you have
|
|
.Ar myname.my.dom No in Pa /etc/hosts :
|
|
.ie r_pmax .Dl ifconfig_le0="inet myname.my.dom netmask 255.255.255.0"
|
|
.el .Dl ifconfig_de0="inet myname.my.dom netmask 255.255.255.0"
|
|
To enable proper hostname resolution, you will also want to add an
|
|
.Pa /etc/resolv.conf
|
|
file or (if you are feeling a little more adventurous) run
|
|
.Xr named 8 .
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr resolv.conf 5
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr named 8
|
|
for more information.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Other files in
|
|
.Pa /etc
|
|
that may require modification or setting up include
|
|
.Pa /etc/mailer.conf ,
|
|
.Pa /etc/nsswitch.conf
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa /etc/wscons.conf .
|
|
.It
|
|
Logging in
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After reboot, you can log in as
|
|
.Li root
|
|
at the login prompt. There
|
|
is no initial password, but if you're using the machine in a
|
|
networked environment, you should create an account for yourself
|
|
(see below) and protect it and the "root" account with good
|
|
passwords.
|
|
Unless you have connected an unusual terminal device as the console
|
|
you can just press RETURN when it prompts for
|
|
.Li Terminal type? [...]
|
|
.
|
|
.It
|
|
Adding accounts
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Use the
|
|
.Xr useradd 8
|
|
command to add accounts to your system,
|
|
.Em do not No edit Pa /etc/passwd
|
|
directly. See
|
|
.Xr useradd 8
|
|
for more information on the process of how to add a new user to the system.
|
|
.It
|
|
The X Window System
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you have installed the X window system, look at the files in
|
|
.Pa /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc
|
|
for information.
|
|
.if \n[arm32]:\n[i386] \{\
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You will need to set up a configuration file, see
|
|
.Pa /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.eg
|
|
for an example. See
|
|
.Lk http://www.xfree86.org/
|
|
and the XFree86 manual page for more information.
|
|
.\}
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Don't forget to add
|
|
.Pa /usr/X11R6/bin
|
|
to your path in your shell's dot file so that you have access to the X binaries.
|
|
.It
|
|
Installing 3rd party packages
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you wish to install any of the software freely available for unix systems
|
|
you are strongly advised to first check the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
package system. This automatically handles any changes necessary to
|
|
make the software run on
|
|
.Nx ,
|
|
retrieval and installation of any other packages on which the software
|
|
may depend, and simplifies installation (and deinstallation), both
|
|
from source and precompiled binaries.
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
More information on the package system is at
|
|
.Lk http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html
|
|
.It
|
|
A browsable listing of available packages is at
|
|
.Lk ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/README.html
|
|
.It
|
|
Precompiled binaries can be found at
|
|
.Lk ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/
|
|
.It
|
|
Package sources for compiling packages can be obtained by
|
|
retrieving the file
|
|
.Lk ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/pkgsrc.tar.gz
|
|
They are typically extracted into
|
|
.Pa /usr/pkgsrc
|
|
(though other locations work fine), as with the command:
|
|
.D1 Ic "cat pkgsrc.tar.gz | gunzip | (mkdir /usr/pkgsrc;
|
|
.D1 Ic "cd /usr/pkgsrc; tar xpf - )
|
|
After extracting, then see the
|
|
.Pa README
|
|
file in the extraction directory (e.g.
|
|
.Pa /usr/pkgsrc/README )
|
|
for more information.

To adjust the system to your local timezone, point the
|
|
.Pa /etc/localtime
|
|
symlink to the appropriate file under
|
|
.Pa /usr/share/zoneinfo .
|
|
.It
|
|
Edit
|
|
.Pa /etc/mail/aliases
|
|
to forward root mail to the right place (run
|
|
.Xr newaliases 1
|
|
afterwards.)
|
|
.It
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
|
|
file will almost definitely need to be adjusted;
|
|
files aiding in this can be found in
|
|
.Pa /usr/share/sendmail .
|
|
See the
|
|
.Li Tn README
|
|
file there for more information.
|
|
.It
|
|
Edit
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.local
|
|
to run any local daemons you use.
|
|
.It
|
|
Many of the
|
|
.Pa /etc
|
|
files are documented in section 5 of the manual; so just invoking
|
|
.D1 Ic man Ar filename
|
|
is likely to give you more information on these files.
