The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally

well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that
|
|
method, the filenames stored in the sets are relative and therefore
|
|
the files are extracted
|
|
.Em below the current directory .
|
|
Therefore, if you want to extract the binaries into your system, i.e.
|
|
replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the
|
|
.Ic "tar -xzpf"
|
|
command from the root directory (
|
|
.Pa /
|
|
) of your system.

The following are included in the

.(Note
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic sysinst
|
|
method of installation is the preferred method for installing
|
|
.Nx*M .
|
|
.Em The Traditional method of installation is deprecated
|
|
.Em and will be removed in a future release.
|
|
Some other important differences between the two installation methods are:
|
|
.(bullet
|
|
The Installer and Mkfs utilities are not used if the installation is done
|
|
using the
|
|
.Ic sysinst
|
|
method via booting an Installation Kernel.
|
|
.It
|
|
Mkfs creates a 4.3BSD "old" format file system.
|
|
This is the only file system format understood by the Installer.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic sysinst
|
|
process creates "new" file systems which can't be processed by Mkfs
|
|
or the Installer.
|
|
.It
|
|
The Installer (and probably Mkfs) is known to have problems with
|
|
BSD file systems that are larger than 1 GB or extend beyond the 1 GB
|
|
physical limit.
|
|
Keep this in mind if doing a Traditional method
|
|
installation with these utilities.
|
|
.It
|
|
The Booter is known to have problems booting from a NetBSD file system
|
|
if the inode of the kernel file is too large.
|
|
For large disks it is advisable to have a small root partition and one or
|
|
more usr-type partitions for other files.
|
|
This ensures the inode of the kernel in the root file system will be small.
|
|
.It
|
|
The Booter is designed to work with 4.3BSD "old" file systems, but there
|
|
are enough similarities between the "old" and "new" file system formats in the
|
|
first few hundred blocks that the Booter can usually boot a Kernel from a
|
|
4.3BSD new file system.
|
|
If you choose to use "new" file system formats, it is advisable to use a
|
|
small root partition and one or more usr-type partitions for other files.
|
|
This is the default layout used by
|
|
.Ic sysinst .

This file system image is copied into the swap partition of the disk which

you intend to boot

Normally, this step will be performed manually from the ramdisk boot
