$NetBSD: QUICK.INSTALL,v 1.3 2000/10/10 12:55:21 lukem Exp $
|
|
|
|
NetBSD 1.3.3 includes the install materials on CD. However, we cannot
|
|
make a single CD bootable on a dozen systems, so the CD cannot be
|
|
booted directly in a DECstation. If your DECstation already has an OS
|
|
installed and has a CD-ROM drive, you can install NetBSD by mounting the
|
|
CD and copying a miniroot to your swap partition.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: You should still read the INSTALL notes at the top of the pmax
|
|
section of the CD or FTP area (in the same directory as these quick
|
|
installation notes). There will be information in the INSTALL notes
|
|
that is not covered here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the following instructions, lines starting with a # character are
|
|
comments and are not typed in. It is also assumed that your CD-ROM
|
|
drive is at SCSI id 4, and your disk is at SCSI id 0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE FOR ULTRIX UPGRATES:
|
|
You will need the existing Ultrix root filesystem at least 24MB in size
|
|
(32MB is preferable), and the following swap partition to be at least
|
|
32MB (to fit the miniroot). Remember to use the same root filesystem
|
|
size and swap partition offset when you set up your disk layout in
|
|
sysinst. Writing down the output of 'chpt -q /dev/rrzXc' would be a
|
|
good idea. If you have a smaller root filesystem, but extra room in
|
|
your swap partition (for example a 16MB root filesystem but a 48MB
|
|
swap partition), you can move the start of the swap partition forward
|
|
and leave a "gap" between the existing root filesystem and the swap
|
|
partition. If you have any questions, send them to the NetBSD/pmax
|
|
mailling list at
|
|
.Mt port-pmax@netbsd.org .
|
|

Under Ultrix, do:
|
|
|
|
# Boot into single user mode

If your machine has Ultrix and your network bandwith can sustain FTPing
|
|
10 Megabytes to get the initial diskimage, you can fetch the diskimage
|
|
via FTP. Something similar will also work for a network connected
|
|
NetBSD machine - the main change would be to not get the Ultrix version
|
|
of gunzip from the FTP site.
|
|
|
|
# While still in multi-user mode, ftp files to a local filesystem
|
|
|
|
# check for 12MB free space - need ~2MB on / and ~10MB on
|
|
# /place/for/files
|
|
df
|
|
cd /place/for/files
