The mvme68k-specific portion of the NetBSD _VER release is found in the
|
|
"mvme68k" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid
|
|
out as follows:
|
|
|
|
.../NetBSD-_VER/mvme68k/
|
|
INSTALL Installation notes; this file.
|
|
|
|
installation/ Boot programs, a stand-alone
|
|
RAMDISK kernel, and a miniroot
|
|
filesystem image. see below.
|
|
|
|
binary/ mvme68k binary distribution sets;
|
|
see below.
|
|
|
|
security/ mvme68k security distribution;
|
|
see below.
|
|
|
|
.../mvme68k/installation/
|
|
miniroot/ The miniroot filesystem image.
|
|
|
|
netboot/ Two programs needed to boot a
|
|
VME147 kernel over the network.
|
|
|
|
tapeimage/ Tape boot programs, and a RAMDISK
|
|
kernel.
|
|
|
|
The NetBSD/mvme68k install distribution contains files that can be
|
|
used to install NetBSD onto a completely "bare" VME147. The files
|
|
in the "mvme68k/installation/*" directories are described below:
|
|
|
|
miniroot.gz A gzipped copy of the miniroot filesystem.
|
|
This image is to be un-gzipped and copied
|
|
into the swap area of a disk.
|
|
|
|
netbsd-rd.gz A gzipped copy of the "RAMDISK kernel"
|
|
for installing the miniroot filesystem.
|
|
|
|
stboot A tape boot-block, in the form required to
|
|
allow 147-Bug to boot from tape. This is the
|
|
first segment of a boot tape.
|
|
|
|
bootst A copy of the tape boot program, used
|
|
as the second segment of a boot tape.
|
|
|
|
sboot A copy of the serial boot program. This is
|
|
necessary if you don't have a tape drive,
|
|
but you _do_ have another system which can
|
|
act as a boot and NFS server. This is also
|
|
useful if you are installing a diskless
|
|
NetBSD/mvme68k system.
|
|
|
|
netboot A copy of the network boot program. Used
|
|
in conjunction with sboot to get your system
|
|
booted over a network.
|
|
|
|
These files can be used to make a boot tape suitable for installing
|
|
NetBSD/mvme68k. These files can also be used to configure an NFS server
|
|
to support installation "over the network". See the section "Getting
|
|
the NetBSD System onto Useful Media" for instructions on either method.
|
|
|
|
.../mvme68k/binary/sets
|
|
|
|
The NetBSD/mvme68k binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
|
|
comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the VME147. There are seven binary
|
|
distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary
|
|
distribution sets are as follows:
|
|
|
|
base The NetBSD/mvme68k _VER base binary distribution. You
|
|
MUST install this distribution set. It contains the
|
|
base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the
|
|
system to run and be minimally functional. It includes
|
|
shared library support, and excludes everything
|
|
described below.
|
|
[ 9.2M gzipped, 26.5M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
comp The NetBSD/mvme68k Compiler tools. All of the tools
|
|
relating to C and C++. This set includes the system
|
|
include files (/usr/include), the linker, the compiler
|
|
tool chain, and the various system libraries (except
|
|
the shared libraries, which are included as part of the
|
|
base set). This set also includes the manual pages for
|
|
all of the utilities it contains, as well as the system
|
|
call and library manual pages.
|
|
[ 6.9M gzipped, 24.1M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
etc This distribution set contains the system configuration
|
|
files that reside in /etc and in several other places.
|
|
This set MUST be installed if you are installing the
|
|
system from scratch, but should NOT be used if you are
|
|
upgrading. (If you are upgrading, it's recommended that
|
|
you get a copy of this set and CAREFULLY upgrade your
|
|
configuration files by hand.)
|
|
[ 53K gzipped, 327K uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
games This set includes the games and their manual pages.
|
|
[ 2.9M gzipped, 7.5M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
man This set includes all of the manual pages for the
|
|
binaries and other software contained in the base set.
|
|
Note that it does not include any of the manual pages
|
|
that are included in the other sets.
|
|
[ 2.5K gzipped, 10.3M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
misc This set includes the system dictionaries (which are
|
|
rather large), the typesettable document set, and
|
|
man pages for other architectures which happen to be
|
|
installed from the source tree by default.
|
|
[ 2.3M gzipped, 8.7M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
text This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
|
|
including groff, all related programs, and their
|
|
manual pages.
|
|
[ 1.0M gzipped, 3.9M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
.../mvme68k/security/
|
|
|
|
The mvme68k security distribution set is named "secr" and can be found
|
|
in the "mvme68k/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution
|
|
tree. It contains executables which are built in the "src/domestic" portion
|
|
of the NetBSD source tree. It can only be found on those sites which carry
|
|
the complete NetBSD distribution and that can legally obtain it. (Remember,
|
|
because of United States law, it may not be legal to distribute this set to
|
|
locations outside of the United States and Canada.)
|
|
[ 128K gzipped, 275K uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
.../mvme68k/kernel/
|
|
|
|
The mvme68k kernel directory contains a gzip'ed VME147 specific kernel
|
|
image. This should be used when upgrading from a previous version of
|
|
NetBSD. Before starting the upgrade, you should unzip and copy this
|
|
kernel in place of your existing /netbsd image, then reboot.
|
|
|
|
The mvme68k binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files.
|
|
Each mvme68k binary distribution set also has its own "CKSUMS" file, just
|
|
as the source distribution sets do.
|
|
|
|
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 files are extracted "below" the current directory. That
|
|
is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e.
|
|
replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the command:
|
|
|
|
tar --unlink -zxvpf set.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
from /. Note that the "--unlink" flag is very important!
|
|
|
|
For best results, it is recommended that you follow the installation
|
|
and/or upgrade procedures documented in this file.
