The hp300-specific portion of the NetBSD 1.2 release is found in the
"hp300" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid
out as follows:
.../NetBSD-1.2/hp300/
binary/ hp300 binary distribution sets;
see below.
install/ a GENERIC kernel, installation
utilities and a miniroot filesystem;
see below.
security/ hp300 security distribution;
see below.
The NetBSD/hp300 binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
comprise the NetBSD 1.2 release for the hp300. There are seven binary
distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary
distribution sets can be found in the "hp300/binary" subdirectory of
the NetBSD 1.2 distribution tree, and are as follows:
base12 The NetBSD/hp300 1.2 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.
[ 7.2M gzipped, 19M uncompressed ]
comp12 The NetBSD/hp300 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.
[ 5.1M gzipped, 16.6M uncompressed ]
etc12 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.)
[ 67K gzipped, 360K uncompressed ]
games12 This set includes the games and their manual pages.
[ 2.7M gzipped, 6.5M uncompressed ]
man12 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.
[ 894K gzipped, 3.5M uncompressed ]
misc12 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.
[ 1.8M gzipped, 6.3M uncompressed ]
text12 This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
including groff, all related programs, and their
manual pages.
[ 756K gzipped, 2.8M uncompressed ]
The hp300 security distribution set is named "secr12" and can be found
in the "hp300/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.2 distribution
tree. It contains executables which are built in the "src/domestic" portion
if 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, this distribution set may not be exported to
locations outside of the United States and Canada.)
[ 128K gzipped, 275K uncompressed ]
The hp300 binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files.
Each hp300 binary distribution set also has its own "CKSUMS" file, just
as the source distribution sets do.
The following are included in the `.../install' directory:
SYS_INST.gz A gzipped copy of the SYS_INST miniroot
installation program.
SYS_NBOOT.gz A gzipped copy of the network boot block.
This is useful if you are installing
a diskless NetBSD/hp300 system.
miniroot-12.fs.gz A gzipped copy of the miniroot filesystem.
netbsd.gz A gzipped GENERIC kernel.
rbootd.tar.gz Source code for the rbootd(8) program,
required for netbooting an HP workstation.
HP-IB.geometry A file containing geometry for some HP-IB
disk drives.
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" flags is very important!
For best results, it is recommended that you follow the installation
and/or upgrade procedures documented in this file.
