what contents are missing or obsolete and should be
written or updated

.
|
|
You will have to prepare the `ramdisk-root' installation system.
|
|
There are two ways to invoke the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
installation system;
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.(bullet -compact -offset indent
|
|
Use the
|
|
.Pa loadbsd.x
|
|
utility to boot
|
|
.Nx

|
from
|
|
.Tn Human68k
|
|
.It
|
|
Make a boot floppy which contains the installation system
|
|
.bullet)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you choose the first method,
|
|
you have to put the compressed installation kernel
|
|
.Pa netbsd-INSTALL.gz ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Pa loadbsd.x
|
|
utility and the
|
|
.Pa gzip.x
|
|
utility to a disk accessible from Human68k.
|
|
These files can be found in the
|
|
.Pa x68k/binary/kernel
|
|
directory or
|
|
.Pa x68k/installation/misc
|
|
directory of the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
distribution.
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa netbsd-INSTALL
|
|
file needs to be uncompressed from
|
|
.Pa netbsd-INSTALL.gz
|
|
using the provided
|
|
.Ic gzip.x
|
|
program with the
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
switch.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To invoke the installation system, just type
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl Ic "gzip.x -d netbsd-INSTALL.gz"
|
|
.Dl Ic "loadbsd.x netbsd-INSTALL"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
from the
|
|
.Tn Human68k
|
|
command line.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you choose the second method, you have to make the boot floppy
|
|
from the floppy image
|
|
.Pa sysinst.fs .
|
|
The image file can be found in
|
|
.Pa x68k/installation/floppy
|
|
directory of the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
distribution.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you are using a
|
|
.Ul
|
|
system to write the floppy image to
|
|
disks, you should use the
|
|
.Pa dd
|
|
command to copy the file system images (.fs files) directly to the raw
|
|
floppy disks.
|
|
It is suggested that you read the
|
|
.Xr dd 1
|
|
manual page or
|
|
ask your system administrator to determine the correct set of
|
|
arguments to use; it will be slightly different from system to system,
|
|
and a comprehensive list of the possibilities is beyond the scope of
|
|
this document.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you are using
|
|
.Tn Human68k
|
|
to write the floppy images to disks, you should use the
|
|
.Ic rawrite
|
|
utility, provided in the
|
|
.Pa x68k/installation/misc
|
|
directory of the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
distribution.
|
|
PC versions can be found in
|
|
.Pa i386/installation/misc .
|
|
It will write the file system images (.fs files) to disks.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To use the boot floppy, insert the floppy to your floppy drive 0,
|
|
and reboot your computer with OPT.1 key pressed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you have less than 5MB of memory, you have to use the
|
|
`floppy-root' installation system instead of the above
|
|
`ramdisk-root' installation system.
|
|
`Floppy-root' installation
|
|
system is composed of two floppies, `kern' and `inst'.
|
|
They are made from the floppy images
|
|
.Pa kern.fs
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa inst.fs
|
|
respectively, both of which are found in
|
|
.Pa installation/floppy
|
|
directory of the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
distribution.
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa inst.fs
|
|
file needs to be uncompressed from
|
|
.Pa inst.fs.gz
|
|
using the provided
|
|
.Ic gzip.x
|
|
program with the
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
switch.
|
|
See above how to write the images to floppies.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To start the `floppy-root' installation system, insert the `kern' floppy
|
|
to your floppy drive 0, and reboot your computer with OPT.1 key pressed.
|
|
When you are prompted that `Insert file system floppy and press return.',
|
|
replace the `kern' floppy with `inst' floppy and press return key.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Once booted, the `floppy-root' installation system is identical with
|
|
the `ramdisk-root' installation system, except that the former constantly
|
|
accesses the floppy disk.
|
|
Floppy disks are relatively unreliable media and cause some warning messages
|
|
to report access errors, most of which are corrected and can be ignored.
|
|
With the latter installation system the floppy disk is not used once the
|
|
system has booted off and can be removed from the drive.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.(Note
|
|
The `floppy-root' installation system cannot be used to install
|
|
.Nx*M
|
|
on a machine with less than 5MB of memory.
