.\" $NetBSD: xfer,v 1.20 2009/04/23 01:56:49 snj Exp $

|
.
|
|
There are currently two installation methods available for initial
|
|
installation of NetBSD on Apple Macintosh 68000-based systems. Neither
|
|
supports all installation media types at this time, so the one you select
|
|
must be compatible with the media you have available on your system.
|
|
.(bullet
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic sysinst
|
|
method of installation uses an Installation Kernel which
|
|
is a minimal NetBSD system with a memory resident set of utilities
|
|
that are capable of partitioning the disk, initializing the file systems,
|
|
and loading them from the archive files. Since the installation
|
|
kernel does not currently support access to Mac OS HFS file systems this
|
|
method requires that the Binary Distribution Sets be accessible from
|
|
CD-ROM, remote NFS partition, or via FTP access.
|
|
.It
|
|
The Traditional method of installation uses Mac OS hosted utilities
|
|
to partition your disk, initialize the partitions for use by NetBSD,
|
|
and load the file systems from archive files stored on the Mac OS HFS
|
|
file system. This method requires that the Binary Distribution Sets
|
|
reside on a local Macintosh hard drive, a CD-ROM, or an AppleShare
|
|
volume.
|
|
.bullet)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The Traditional method of installation is currently supported from the local
|
|
Macintosh hard drive, from a CD-ROM, or from an AppleShare volume
|
|
(however, you may upgrade a system from within NetBSD; see the
|
|
.Sx Upgrading\ a\ previously-installed\ NetBSD\ System
|
|
section for more details).
|
|
If you are installing from a local hard drive, this means that you'll need
|
|
at least enough room for the largest file that you will have to install.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the install is being done from an AppleShare-mounted volume, the
|
|
.Nx*M
|
|
Installer must be in the same folder as the binary distribution sets.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each distribution file is in
|
|
.Em raw No archive format.
|
|
.(bullet
|
|
Distribution files must be downloaded in binary mode. Common web
|
|
browsers may not be suitable for this task; FTP clients such as
|
|
Fetch and Anarchie work fine, but be sure to specify a binary file
|
|
transfer.
|
|
.It
|
|
The files should not be unpacked. If you have the Internet Config
|
|
extension installed, you can disable this in the
|
|
.Dq "Helpers"
|
|
dialog
|
|
by removing the entry associated with
|
|
.Dq ".tgz"
|
|
files. Other FTP
|
|
clients may require separate changes; consult your package's
|
|
documentation.
|
|
.It
|
|
If you are installing from a CD-ROM, the distribution sets are
|
|
already in the proper format. No special handling is required.
|
|

|
|
You will also need to collect the
|
|
.Tn Mac OS
|
|
installation tools from the
|
|
.Pa \*M/installation/misc No subdirectory of the
|
|
.Nx \*V
|
|
distribution:
|
|
Mkfs,
|
|
.Nx*M
|
|
Installer, and
|
|
.Nx*M
|
|
Booter. These three are
|
|
in BinHexed, self-extracting archives as Mkfs.sea.hqx, Installer.sea.hqx,
|
|
and Booter.sea.hqx, respectively. Extract them as you would any other
|
|
Macintosh application.
|
|
.(Note
|
|
The Booter is the only
|
|
.Tn Mac OS
|
|
application needed if the
|
|
.Ic sysinst
|
|
method of installation is used. The Traditional method of installation
|
|
is deprecated and will be removed in a future release, and the Mkfs and
|
|
Installer tools will be retired.
