Installing
|
|
.Nx
|
|
is a relatively complex process, but if you have
|
|
this document in hand it shouldn't be too much trouble.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There are several ways to install
|
|
.Nx
|
|
onto a disk.
|
|
The easiest way in terms of preliminary setup is to install from CD-ROM.
|
|
If you don't have access to a CD-ROM or CD-ROM burner, you
|
|
can use a miniroot image that can be booted off your local disk's swap
|
|
partition.
|
|
Alternatively, if your UltraSPARC is hooked up in a network
|
|
you can find a server and arrange for a diskless setup which is a convenient
|
|
way to install on a machine whose disk does not currently hold a usable
|
|
operating system (see the section
|
|
.Sx Installing NetBSD by using a diskless setup
|
|
below).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you have problems with these or you are installing
|
|
.Nx
|
|
onto the same disk as
|
|
.Tn Solaris ,
|
|
see the section below on
|
|
.Sx "Manual Installation of NetBSD using Solaris"
|
|
.
|
|
.Ss2 Installing NetBSD from CD-ROM
|
|
.
|
|
Installing from CD-ROM is the least painful way to install
|
|
.Nx .
|
|
Simply insert the CD-ROM in the drive, power up the computer, and type:
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No ok Ic "boot cdrom"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This Open Firmware boot command will cause the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
kernel contained in the CD-ROM to be booted.
|
|
After the initial probe messages you'll be
|
|
asked to start the install or upgrade procedure.
|
|
Proceed to the section
|
|
.Sx "Running the sysinst installation program"
|
|
below.
|
|
.
|
|
.Ss2 Installing NetBSD by using the NetBSD miniroot
|
|
.
|
|
The miniroot is a self-contained
|
|
.Nx
|
|
file system holding all utilities
|
|
necessary to install
|
|
.Nx
|
|
on a local disk.
|
|
It is distributed as a plain
|
|
file designed to be transferred to a raw disk partition from which it can
|
|
be booted using the appropriate OpenFirmware command.
|
|
Usually, the miniroot will be loaded into the swap partition of a disk.
|
|
If needed, you can use any other unused partition,
|
|
but remember that the partition will then not
|
|
available during the installation process.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Loading the miniroot onto your raw partition is simple using the
|
|
.Xr dd 1
|
|
command. Just remember to first uncompress the miniroot image and boot
|
|
your OS with the
|
|
.Li -s
|
|
flag so that it runs
|
|
.Dq "single-user"
|
|
and does not attempt to start swapping.
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No ok Ic "boot -s"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
On
|
|
.Tn Solaris
|
|
you use a command like:
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No # Ic "gunzip miniroot.fs.gz"
|
|
.No # Ic "dd if=miniroot.fs of=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s1 bs=4k"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
On
|
|
.Nx
|
|
the command is:
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No # Ic "gunzip miniroot.fs.gz"
|
|
.No # Ic "dd if=miniroot.fs of=/dev/rsd0b bs=4k"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
Replace
|
|
.Li /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s1
|
|
or
|
|
.Li /dev/rsd0b
|
|
with your swap partition.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After transferring the miniroot to disk, bring the system down by:
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No # Ic halt
|
|
.disp)
|
|
Then boot the miniroot by typing the appropriate command at the
|
|
OpenFirmware prompt:
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No ok Ic "boot disk:b netbsd"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
If you've loaded the miniroot onto some other disk than
|
|
.Li sd0
|
|
use the correct
|
|
.Pa devalias ,
|
|
such as
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No ok Ic "boot disk1:b netbsd"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
This Open Firmware boot command will cause the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
kernel contained in the
|
|
miniroot image to be booted.
|
|
After the initial probe messages you'll be
|
|
asked to start the install or upgrade procedure.
|
|
Proceed to the section
|
|
.Sx "Running the sysinst installation program"
|
|
below.
|
|
.
|
|
.Ss2 Installing NetBSD by using a NetBSD kernel on a Solaris partition
|
|
.
|
|
This procedure is very straightforward. You will be putting the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
installation kernel (kernel with a RAM disk installer) on your
|
|
.Tn Solaris
|
|
partition and telling Open Firmware to boot the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
kernel.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
CAVEAT: this method is a bit fragile. Depending on physical partition layout,
|
|
partition size, and parameters used to create the filesystem of your
|
|
.Tn Solaris
|
|
root partition, bugs in the bootloader might be triggered and cause this
|
|
method to fail.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
First, copy the
|
|
.Pa netbsd-INSTALL.gz
|
|
kernel and bootloader to the root level of your hard drive and halt your
|
|
system
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No # Ic "cp binary/kernel/netbsd-INSTALL.gz /"
|
|
.No # Ic "cp installation/misc/ofwboot /"
|
|
.No # Ic "halt"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
At the Open Firmware prompt, boot
|
|
.Nx .
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No ok Ic "boot disk:a /ofwboot -a"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
The
|
|
.Li -a
|
|
flag is needed so that the bootloader will ask you to find your
|
|
installation kernel.
|
|
.(disp
|
|
Rebooting with command: boot disk:a /ofwboot -a

.Ss2 Manual Installation of NetBSD using Solaris

|
.
|
|
(Adapted from Murray Stokely's \*[Lt]murray@osd.bsdi.com\*[Gt] instructions)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You can use
|
|
.Tn Solaris
|
|
to prepare the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
user-friendly installer or to perform a full manual installation of
|
|
.Nx .
|
|
If you want to use the user-friendly miniroot installer or RAM disk
|
|
installation kernel, follow the sections
|
|
.Sx "Installing NetBSD by using the NetBSD miniroot"
|
|
or
|
|
.Sx "Installing NetBSD by using a NetBSD kernel on a Solaris partition" .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Manual installation from Solaris 10 is not possible because NetBSD
|
|
cannot use the resulting UFS file system. It is possible to install
|
|
Solaris 10 and NetBSD on the same disk. To do so, partition the disk
|
|
with the Solaris format command, then boot NetBSD and perform a manual
|
|
installation. Be careful not to write a NetBSD disklabel. Use the
|
|
disklabel command to read the partition size, as constructed from the
|
|
Solaris disklabel. By default the NetBSD newfs command writes a NetBSD
|
|
disklabel. Avoid this by using the -F and -s arguments to newfs.

The first step is to format and label the disk that you would like to
|
|
use with
|
|
.Nx .
|
|
This can be accomplished with the
|
|
.Xr format 1M
|
|
command in Solaris, which allows you to partition a disk and write a
|
|
disklabel. It also is used to perform a low-level format on SCSI drives.
|
|
You will want to create a root partition and a swap partition.
|
|
Depending on your preferences, you may also wish to create separate
