.\" --------- instructions for getting distribution off installation medium
|
|
.
|
|
Installation is supported from several media types, including:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.(bullet -offset indent -compact
|
|
FTP
|
|
.
|
|
.It
|
|
Remote NFS partition
|
|
.
|
|
.bullet)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.
|
|
The steps necessary to prepare the distribution sets for installation
|
|
depend upon which installation medium you choose.
|
|
The steps for the various media are outlined below.
|
|
.
|
|
.(tag CD-ROM\ /\ DVD
|
|
.
|
|
.It Em FTP
|
|
The preparations for this installation/upgrade method are
|
|
easy; all you need to do is make sure that there's an FTP
|
|
site from which you can retrieve the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
distribution when you're about to
|
|
install or upgrade.
|
|
If you don't have DHCP available on your network,
|
|
you will need to know the numeric IP address of that site, and,
|
|
if it's not on a network directly connected to the machine
|
|
on which you're installing or upgrading
|
|
.Nx ,
|
|
you need to know the numeric IP address of the router closest
|
|
to the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
machine.
|
|
Finally, you need to know the numeric IP address of the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
machine itself.
|
|
If you don't have access to a functioning nameserver during
|
|
installation, the IPv4 address of
|
|
.Sy ftp.NetBSD.org
|
|
is
|
|
.Li 204.152.190.15
|
|
and the IPv6 address is
|
|
.Li 2001:4f8:3:7:230:48ff:fec6:9aaa:21
|
|
(as of May, 2010).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Once you have this information, you can proceed to the next
|
|
step in the installation or upgrade process.
|
|
If you're installing
|
|
.Nx
|
|
from scratch, go to the section on preparing your hard disk, below.
|
|
If you're upgrading an existing installation, go directly to
|
|
the section on upgrading.
|
|
.
|
|
.It Em NFS
|
|
Place the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
distribution sets you wish to install into a
|
|
directory on an NFS server, and make that directory mountable
|
|
by the machine on which you are installing or upgrading
|
|
.Nx .
|
|
This will probably require modifying the
|
|
.Pa /etc/exports
|
|
file on the NFS server and resetting its mount daemon (mountd).
|
|
(Both of these actions will probably require superuser
|
|
privileges on the server.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You need to know the numeric IP address of the NFS server,
|
|
and, if you don't have DHCP available on your network and
|
|
the server is not on a network directly connected to
|
|
the machine on which you're installing or upgrading
|
|
.Nx ,
|
|
you need to know the numeric IP address of the router closest
|
|
to the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
machine.
|
|
Finally, you need to know the numeric IP address of the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
machine itself.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Once the NFS server is set up properly and you have the
|
|
information mentioned above, you can proceed to the next step
|
|
in the installation or upgrade process.
|
|
If you're installing
|
|
.Nx
|
|
from scratch, go to the section on preparing your hard disk, below.
|
|
If you're upgrading an existing installation, go directly to the
|
|
section on upgrading.
