Begin by creating an area in the server's file system for the
|
|
.Nx*M
|
|
image. This area must be exported read-write to the NeXT
|
|
workstation. In the simplest form of installation, the entire image is
|
|
exported as a single partition, mounted on
|
|
.Pa /
|
|
(by the target. This
|
|
corresponds to a local disk install with just one partition. It is also
|
|
possible to export
|
|
.Pa /usr or other partitions separately.
|
|
.Pa /usr
|
|
can be exported read-only, and multiple machines can all share the same
|
|
.Pa /usr
|
|
partition.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To extract the sets into the exported area:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl # Ic "cd /path/to/exported/file-system"
|
|
.Dl # Ic "pax -zrvpe -f /path/to/base.tgz"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
and repeat for any other sets you wish to install. You'll almost
|
|
certainly need the etc.tgz set.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Edit the files in the etc directory to reflect reality. rc.conf and
|
|
fstab will certainly need to be edited.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
cd into the dev directory in the exported area and run
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl # Ic "sh ./MAKEDEV all"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
to create the various device nodes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Create an empty swap file, and place it somewhere where it can also
|
|
be exported to the target.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Edit the server's
|
|
.Pa /etc/exports
|
|
file to export the root
|
|
.Pq Pa /
|
|
and swap partitions to the target.
|
|
Both must be read-write, and allow full root privileges.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You'll also need to set up a tftp server and bootp server to enable
|
|
netbooting. These services don't have to run on the same machine that
|
|
exports the target image, but it is often convenient to do so. More
|
|
information on configuring these services can be found at
|
|
.Lk http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/netboot/
|
|
Note that your bootptab requires the tag
|
|
.Sq Li "vm=auto"
|
|
for
|
|
.Ic bootpd
|
|
to work with the NeXT.
