Installing
|
|
.Nx
|
|
is a relatively complex process, but if you have
|
|
this document in hand it shouldn't be too much trouble.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There are several ways to install
|
|
.Nx
|
|
onto your system.
|
|
The easiest way is to use the
|
|
.Pa miniroot.fs
|
|
image copied to your local disk's swap partition or a scratch drive.
|
|
If your Sparc is hooked up in a network, you may configure another
|
|
.Ul
|
|
machine as a netboot server for your Sparc.
|
|
Alternatively, there is a pair
|
|
of floppy images that will boot your system and run the installer.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For more information on the commands and variables available in
|
|
the OpenBoot PROM (present in all sun4c and sun4m machines), go to
|
|
.Lk http://docs.sun.com
|
|
and search for
|
|
.Dq openboot reference
|
|
(without quotes).
|
|
.
|
|
.Ss2 Installing NetBSD by placing a bootable file system on a partitioned hard drive
|
|
.
|
|
.Pa installation/miniroot/miniroot.fs.gz
|
|
is a compressed, self-contained
|
|
.Nx
|
|
file system holding all utilities necessary to install
|
|
.Nx
|
|
onto a disk attached to your system.
|
|
It is distributed as a compressed plain
|
|
file you will transfer to a raw disk partition.
|
|
You will then boot this installer using the appropriate PROM command.
|
|
The simplest case is where you place the
|
|
.Pa miniroot.fs
|
|
file system on the swap partition of your disk.
|
|
Alternatively, you can place
|
|
it on any other unused partition on any disk (such as a Zip disk).
|
|
Be forewarned that you will not be able to install
|
|
.Nx
|
|
onto the partition that contains the
|
|
.Pa miniroot.fs
|
|
as this partition is needed during the install process.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Loading the file system onto a raw partition is straightforward.
|
|
First, download
|
|
.Pa miniroot.fs
|
|
to your system.
|
|
Next, reboot in single-user mode (i.e.
|
|
.Ic "boot -s" )
|
|
to ensure that your system will not be swapping.
|
|
Finally, place the
|
|
.Pa miniroot.fs
|
|
on your partition of choice.
|
|
On
|
|
.Nx
|
|
or SunOS the commands are:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No # Ic "gunzip miniroot.fs.gz"
|
|
.No # Ic "dd if=miniroot.fs of=/dev/rsd0b bs=4k"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Here,
|
|
.Li /dev/rsd0b
|
|
is assumed to be your swap partition.
|
|
If you decide to place
|
|
.Pa miniroot.fs
|
|
on a non-swap partition, it will overwrite all of the contents of that
|
|
partition, but you will not need to reboot into single-user mode to write it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After transferring the file system to disk, bring the system down by:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No # Ic halt
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Then boot the installer by typing the appropriate
|
|
command at the PROM prompt (this example is for the swap partition):
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.(tag OpenBoot\ PROM\ 2 -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It sunmon
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No \*> Ic "b sd(,,1)netbsd -s"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.It OpenBoot PROM 1
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No ok Ic "boot sd(,,1)netbsd -s"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.It OpenBoot PROM 2
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No ok Ic "boot disk:b netbsd -s"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.tag)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The monitor boot command will load the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
kernel contained in the
|
|
file system image.
|
|
After the initial probe messages you'll be
|
|
asked to start the install or upgrade procedure.
|
|
Proceed to the section
|
|
.Sx Running the installation scripts.
|
|

.Ss2 Installing NetBSD by using a bootable CD-ROM
|
|
.
|
|
If you wish to burn a CD-R containing a bootable NetBSD installation,
|
|
then you can either burn the prepared disk image in
|
|
.Pa installation/cdrom/sparccd-\*V.iso
|
|
or create your own.
|
|
If you wish to create your own, you should follow the directions on the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
Bootable CD-ROM HOW-TO at:
|
|
.Lk http://www.NetBSD.org/Documentation/bootcd.html#sparcimage
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Once you have downloaded
|
|
.Pa sparccd-\*V.iso
|
|
or created your own disk image, then you need to burn it to a CD-R.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The CD-ROM attached to your Sparc must support 512 byte sectors to be
|
|
bootable.
|
|
All Sun brand CD-ROMs will work, as well as many other manufacturers.
|
|
See the Sun CD-ROM FAQ:
|
|
.Lk http://saturn.tlug.org/suncdfaq/
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Sun sets their CD-ROM drives to SCSI ID 6.
|
|
We recommend you do the same.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Boot the installer by typing the appropriate command at the PROM prompt:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.(tag OpenBoot\ PROM\ 2 -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It sunmon
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No \*> Ic b "sd(,30,)"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.It OpenBoot PROM 1
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No ok Ic "boot sd(,30,)"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.It OpenBoot PROM 2
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No ok Ic "boot cdrom"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.tag)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After the initial probe messages you'll be asked to start the
|
|
install or upgrade procedure.
|
|
Proceed to the section
|
|
.Sx Running the installation scripts.
|
|
below.
|
|
.
|
|
.Ss2 Installing NetBSD by using the bootable floppies
|
|
.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nx
|
|
install floppies only work on the sun4c and sun4m machines.
|
|
Making the install floppies is fairly straightforward.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nx
|
|
and SunOS use the same commands.
|
|
First, get two 1.44 MB floppy disks and format them either using the
|
|
.Xr fdformat 8
|
|
command or a PC.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No # Ic "fdformat"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Be sure that the `fdformat' command completes successfully before proceeding;
|
|
on
|
|
.Nx
|
|
success is a string of all
|
|
.Sq Li V 's ,
|
|
and on
|
|
.Tn SunOS
|
|
success is a string of
|
|
.Sq Li \&. 's .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Next, transfer the two floppy images
|
|
.Pq Pa installation/floppy/disk1.gz No and Pa installation/floppy/disk2
|
|
to the disks you just formatted.
|
|
You can do this step from
|
|
.Nx ,
|
|
.Tn SunOS ,
|
|
or a
|
|
.Tn Windows
|
|
machine using
|
|
.Nm rawrite.exe
|
|
(available in the
|
|
.Nx Ns / Ns i386
|
|
distribution).
|
|
Insert the first floppy and run the following commands:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No # Ic "gunzip disk1.gz"
|
|
.No # Ic "dd if=disk1 of=/dev/rfd0a bs=36k"
|
|
.No # Ic "eject floppy"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Insert the second floppy and run the following commands:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No # Ic "dd if=disk2 of=/dev/rfd0a bs=36k"
|
|
.No # Ic "eject floppy"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that disk2 may be a symlink to .tgz file; do not uncompress it,
|
|
just follow the instructions above, verbatim.
|
|
After writing the two floppies,
|
|
be sure to label them so you can later identify them.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Insert the floppy made from
|
|
.Pa disk1
|
|
into your Sparc.
|
|
From the OpenBoot prompt, boot the floppy with the following command:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.(tag OpenBoot\ PROM\ 2\ (alternate) -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It OpenBoot PROM 1
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No ok Ic "boot fd(,,1)"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.It OpenBoot PROM 1 (alternate)
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No ok Ic "boot /fd"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.It OpenBoot PROM 2
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No ok Ic "boot floppy"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.tag)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After the initial probe messages you'll be asked to insert the floppy
|
|
labeled
|
|
.Dq NetBSD disk2 .
|
|
If the floppy is not automatically ejected, you can either use a
|
|
straightened paperclip to eject the disk or do the following:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Press the
|
|
.Key STOP
|
|
key (sometimes called the
|
|
.Key L1
|
|
key, found on the left side of your keyboard) and the
|
|
.Key a
|
|
key, which will halt your system and give you a PROM prompt.
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No ok Ic "eject"
|
|
.No ok Ic "go"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Now, insert the floppy labeled
|
|
.Li disk2 .
|
|
After the installation tools have been loaded,
|
|
you'll be asked to start the install or upgrade procedure.
|
|
Proceed to the section
|
|
.Sx Running the installation scripts.
|
|
below.
|
|
.
|
|
.Ss2 Installing NetBSD by using a netboot setup
|
|
.
|
|
.so ../common/netboot
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Now, netboot your Sparc from the server by entering the appropriate
|
|
.Ic boot
|
|
command at the monitor prompt.
|
|
Depending on the PROM version in your machine, this command takes one
|
|
of the following forms:
|
|
.(tag OpenBoot\ PROM\ 2 -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It sunmon
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No \*> Ic "b le()netbsd"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.It OpenBoot PROM 1
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No ok Ic "b le()netbsd"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.It OpenBoot PROM 2
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No ok Ic "boot net netbsd"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.tag)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After the initial probe messages you'll be asked to start the
|
|
install or upgrade procedure.
|
|
Proceed to the section
|
|
.Sx Running the installation scripts.
|
|
below.
|
|
.
|
|
.Ss2 Installing NetBSD by using a bootable tape
|
|
.
|
|
Sun sets their tape drives to SCSI ID 4.
|
|
We recommend you do the same.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Get the tape images
|
|
.Pq Pa installation/tape/tapefile1.gz No and Pa installation/tape/tapefile2
|
|
and transfer them to a tape.
|
|
Make sure you use the
|
|
.Sq no rewind scsi tape
|
|
device.
|
|
Run the following commands:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No # Ic "gunzip tapefile1.gz"
|
|
.No # Ic "mt -f /dev/nrst0 rew"
|
|
.No # Ic "dd if=tapefile1 of=/dev/nrst0 bs=4k conv=osync"
|
|
.No # Ic "dd if=tapefile2 of=/dev/nrst0 bs=4k conv=osync"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Now you can transfer the
|
|
.Nx \*V.
|
|
distribution sets from
|
|
.Pq Pa binary/sets
|
|
to the tape by using a series of additional
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No # Ic "dd if=\*<aset\*>.tgz of=/dev/nrst0 bs=4k conv=osync"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
commands.
|
|
See also the section
|
|
.Sx Getting the NetBSD System on to Useful Media.
|
|
Be sure to mark the location of these files on the tape; you'll need them
|
|
during the installation procedure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Insert the tape into your Sparc's tapestation.
|
|
Boot the installer by typing the appropriate command at the PROM prompt:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.(tag OpenBoot\ PROM\ 2\ (alternate) -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It sunmon
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No \*> Ic "b st()"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.It OpenBoot PROM 1
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No ok Ic "boot st()"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.It OpenBoot PROM 2
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No ok Ic "boot tape"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.tag)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After the initial probe messages you'll be asked to confirm the tape
|
|
device and tape file number containing the installation tools.
|
|
Then, proceed to the section
|
|
.Sx Running the installation scripts.
|
|
below.
|
|
.
|
|
.Ss2 Running the installation scripts
|
|
.
|
|
The first thing that the installation scripts will inquire about is the
|
|
type of console you're using on your machine.
|
|
If you're using a Sun frame buffer display, choose the terminal type
|
|
.Ic sun
|
|
.Pq this is presented as the default .
|
|
.(Note
|
|
if your frame buffer device is a cgsix Sbus board, you should
|
|
change the terminal type to
|
|
.Ic sun-cgsix
|
|
to avoid triggering a bug in the board's firmware code that can garble
|
|
your screen.
|
|
.Note)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you're using a terminal device connected to a serial port, choose a
|
|
terminal type appropriate for that device, e.g.
|
|
.Ic vt100
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic vt200 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Next, you will be presented with a choice of two installation methods:
|
|
a new full-screen
|
|
.Ic sysinst
|
|
program, or the traditional script-based
|
|
.Ic miniroot
|
|
program.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic sysinst
|
|
program is easier to use, but the
|
|
.Ic miniroot
|
|
program is more flexible.
|
|
Both of these installation methods will follow the
|
|
same set of procedures and will fully install
|
|
.Nx
|
|
on your Sparc.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You will frequently be asked for confirmation before the system proceeds
|
|
with each phase of the installation process.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Occasionally, you will have to provide a piece of information such as the
|
|
name of the disk you want to install on, partitioning information,
|
|
or IP addresses and domain names you want to assign.
|
|
If your system has
|
|
more than one disk, you may want to look at the output of the
|
|
.Xr dmesg 8
|
|
command to see how your disks have been identified by the kernel.
|
|
.(Note
|
|
If you repartition a hard drive, be certain that every partition starts
|
|
on a cylinder boundary for compatibility with the Sparc ROM.
|
|
.Note)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The installation script goes through the following phases:
|
|
.(bullet -compact
|
|
determination of the disk on which to install
|
|
.Nx
|
|
.It
|
|
checking/creation of the partition information on the disk
|
|
.It

|
|

|
|
.It

|
setup of network configuration
|
|
.It
|
|
extraction of the distribution tar files
|
|
.It
|
|
installation of bootstrap programs
|
|
.bullet)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Now try a reboot.
|
|
Initially we'd suggest you
|
|
.Ic "boot sd()netbsd -bs" ,
|
|
then try multiuser after that.
|
|
If you boot single-user the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
incantation to make the root file system writable is
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No # Ic "mount -u /dev/sd0a /"
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Your PROM might have been setup to instruct the boot program to load
|
|
a file called
|
|
.Pa vmunix .
|
|
On OpenBoot PROM systems you can change it to load
|
|
.Pa netbsd
|
|
instead using the following commands:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.(tag OpenBoot\ PROM\ 2 -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It OpenBoot PROM 1
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No ok Ic setenv boot-from sd(0,0,0)netbsd
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.It OpenBoot PROM 2
|
|
.(disp
|
|
.No ok Ic setenv boot-file netbsd
|
|
.No ok Ic setenv boot-device disk:a
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.tag)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Em Congratulations ,
|
|
you have successfully installed
|
|
.Nx \*V.
|
