mvme68k machines usually need little or no preparation before installing
|
|
NetBSD, other than the usual, well advised precaution of BACKING UP
|
|
ALL DATA on any attached storage devices.
|
|
|
|
The following instructions should make your machine "NetBSD Ready".
|
|
|
|
Power-up your VME147. You should have the "bug" prompt:
|
|
|
|
COLD Start
|
|
|
|
Onboard RAM start = $00000000, stop = $007FFFFF
|
|
|
|
147-Bug>
|
|
|
|
Make sure the value for "stop" looks ok (if you've got 8MB you should
|
|
have the same value as I do). Also make sure the clock is ticking:
|
|
|
|
147-Bug>time
|
|
Sunday 12/21/29 16:25:14
|
|
147-Bug>time
|
|
Sunday 12/21/29 16:25:15
|
|
147-Bug>
|
|
|
|
Note that NetBSD bases it's year at 1968, and adds the year offset in
|
|
the VME147's real-time clock to get the current year. So the '29' here
|
|
equates to 1997. You may have to adjust your clock using the 'set'
|
|
command to comply with NetBSD's requirements. Don't worry if the
|
|
"Day of the week" is not correct, NetBSD doesn't use it. (Actually,
|
|
Motorola have acknowledged a year 2000 bug whereby the day of the week
|
|
doesn't get set correctly by the 147Bug PROM. IT DOES NOT AFFECT NETBSD!)
|
|
|
|
Also make sure that your VME147's ethernet address is initialised to
|
|
the correct value. You'll find the address on a label on the inside of
|
|
the board's front panel. Enter the last five digits of the address
|
|
using the 'lsad' command.
|
|
|
|
To install successfully to a local SCSI disk, you need to ensure that
|
|
147Bug is aware of what targets are connected to the SCSI bus. This
|
|
can be done by issueing the following command:
|
|
|
|
--> 147-Bug> iot;t
|
|
|
|
At this point, 147Bug will scan for any attached SCSI devices. After
|
|
a short delay, a list of SCSI devices will be displayed. You will be
|
|
asked if Bug should assign LUNs to SCSI ids, to which you should
|
|
answer Y. You should also answer Y when asked if the information is
|
|
to be saved to NVRAM.
|
|
|
|
The following installation instructions will assume that your target
|
|
SCSI disk drive appears at SCSI-id 0. If you have a tape drive, the
|
|
instructions assume is is configured for SCSI-id 5. When the RAMDISK
|
|
root boots, NetBSD will refer to these devices as 'sd0' and 'rst0'
|
|
respectively. You may wish to note these down; you'll be using them
|
|
a lot. :-)
