Currently

requires a dedicated drive when you install it for the first time. In other
|
|
words,
|
|
.Nx
|
|
\*V
|
|
cannot be installed on the hard drive on which MacOS and/or any other oparating
|
|
systems reside. This is because of
|
|
.Nx
|
|
\*V
|
|
currently does not support Apple's Disk Partition Map.

Before you start, you must choose an installation method. If your machine has
|
|
an on-borad Ethernet and you have the connection to an NFS server that can
|
|
provide even ~30M for a diskless-root filesystem, then installation via the net
|
|
is best. Next best, if you have another machine that is running unix-like
|
|
operating system and has two disk drives (or one, if you live dangerously), is
|
|
to copy a diskimage onto one drive. Finally, you can install by using a second
|
|
machine as a helper to prepare a bootable
|
|
.Nx
|
|
\*V
|
|
disk. If you have only one machine, you can still use floppy to install
|
|
.Nx
|
|
onto your machine.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If your target is going to run diskless, then installation proceeds as for
|
|
method 1.
|
|
.(Note
|
|
Unfortunately, since iMac lacks to support to boot an operating system other
|
|
than MacOS from its local hard drive, you must choose the method when your
|
|
target is iMac.

The

uses the standard sysinst installation utility. You should examine the guide
