What is NetBSD?

The NetBSD Operating System is a fully functional Open Source UNIX-like operating system derived from the University of California, Berkeley Networking Release 2 (Net/2), 4.4BSD-Lite, and 4.4BSD-Lite2 sources. NetBSD runs on thirty-one different system architectures featuring twelve distinct families of CPUs, and is being ported to more. The NetBSD1.5.2 release contains complete binary releases for fifteen different machine types. (The sixteen remaining are not fully supported at this time and are thus not part of the binary distribution. For information on them, please see the NetBSD web site at http://www.netbsd.org/.)

NetBSD is a completely integrated system. In addition to its highly portable, high performance kernel, NetBSD features a complete set of user utilities, compilers for several languages, the X Window System, firewall software and numerous other tools, all accompanied by full source code.

NetBSD is a creation of the members of the Internet community. Without the unique cooperation and coordination the net makes possible, it's likely that NetBSD wouldn't exist.

Upgrade path to NetBSD 1.5.2

If you are not installing your system ``from scratch'' but instead are going to upgrade an existing system already running NetBSD you need to know which versions you can upgrade with NetBSD 1.5.2.

NetBSD 1.5.2 is an upgrade of NetBSD 1.5, 1.5.1, and earlier major and patch releases of NetBSD.

The intermediate development versions of code available on the main trunk in our CVS repository (also known as ``NetBSD-current'') from after the point where the release cycle for 1.5 was started are designated by version identifiers such as 1.5A, 1.5B, etc. These identifiers do not designate releases, but indicate major changes in internal kernel APIs. Note that the kernel from NetBSD 1.5.2 can not be used to upgrade a system running one of those intermediate development versions. Trying to use the NetBSD 1.5.2 kernel on such a system will probably result in problems.

Please also note that it is not possible to do a direct ``version'' comparison between any of the intermediate development versions mentioned above and 1.5.2 to determine if a given feature is present or absent in 1.5.2. The development of 1.5 and the subsequent ``point'' releases is done on a separate branch in the CVS repository. The branch was created when the release cycle for 1.5 was started, and during the release cycle of 1.5 and its patch releases, selected fixes and enhancements have been imported from the main development trunk. So, there are features in 1.5.2 which were not in, e.g. 1.5B, and vice versa.

Major Changes Between 1.5.1 and 1.5.2

The main purpose of NetBSD 1.5.2 is to fix some problems discovered shortly after the release of NetBSD 1.5.1. Some highlights are:

  • telnetd(8) has been fixed to deal with a security issue (SA2001-012).

  • A weakness in the OpenSSL libcrypto's pseudo random number generator has been fixed (SA2001-013).

  • Floating point emulation on i386 (to run on FPU-less CPUs) which was broken late in 1.5.1's cycle has been restored to working order.

  • Bugs in the compiler have been worked around to produce a working miniroot image on sparc64.

  • The script-based installers on amiga, atari and mvme68k have been updated to deal with new behaviour from mount(8).

  • dump(8) has been fixed to deal with a local security issue (SA2001-014).

  • Several system calls have had defensive length checks applied on their arguments (SA2001-015).

  • The DHCP software has been upgraded to ISC Version 3, Release Candidate 10.

Additionally, a few more bugs have been fixed. See the CHANGES-1.5.2 file for the complete list of changes.

Major Changes Between 1.5 and 1.5.1

The complete list of changes between NetBSD 1.5 and 1.5.1 can be found in the file CHANGES-1.5.1 in the top directory of the source tree. The following are highlights only:

  • A driver for the Aironet/Cisco wireless PCMCIA cards has been added; see an(4).

  • NFS client performance has been improved, typically by 40% for writes but possibly up to 100% in certain setups.

  • The siop(4) driver has improved in performance and robustness.

  • Support for cloning pseudo-interfaces has been added. See ifconfig(8).

  • Support for 802.1Q virtual LANs has been added. See vlan(4).

  • The isp(4) driver has been upgraded to (among other things) work on MacPPC.

  • BIND has been upgraded to version 8.2.3 (SA2001-001).

  • Support for booting from RAIDframe RAID1 mirrors on i386 added.

  • The lfs(4) file system has again been substantially updated, but is still experimental.

  • Ultra/66 support has been added for capable VIA chipsets, and Ultra/100 support has been added for the HPT370, Promise and Intel ICH2 controllers in the pciide(4) driver. Support for Intel 82801BAM controllers has also been added, and handling of Ali controllers has been improved.

  • OpenSSH has been updated to deal with a security issue (SA2001-003).

  • Sendmail has been upgraded to version 8.11.3.

  • The ex(4) driver has added support for 3Com 3c555, 3c556 and 3c556B MiniPCI Ethernet cards.

  • A driver for the on-board audio hardware found on many Apple PowerMacs has been added; see awacs(4).

  • The sip(4) driver has been fixed to properly support the dp83815, as found in current Netgear FA311 10/100 cards.

  • ftpd(8) has been updated to deal with two security issues (SA2000-018 and SA2001-005).

  • ntpd(8) has been updated to deal with a security issue (SA2001-004).

  • telnetd(8) has been updated to deal with a security issue (SA2000-017).

  • A vulnerability on i386 related to USER_LDT has been fixed (SA2001-002).

  • The Linux emulation has been enhanced to prepare for the support of using the Linux version of VMware.

  • IP checksumming speed has been improved on i386 compared to NetBSD1.5 by about 10%.

  • Support for the Socket Communications LP-E Type II PCMCIA NE2000 clone card has been added to ne(4).

  • The DHCP software has been upgraded to ISC version 3, Beta 2, patchlevel 23, to fix core dumps in dhclient(8), among other things. Please note that the new dhcpd(8) forces you to configure a "ddns-update-style" of either "ad-hoc", "interim" or "none".

  • Various fixes and enhancements to INET6 and IPSEC code; among them improved interaction between IPF/Nat and IPSEC.

  • The Heimdal kerberos(8) implementation has been upgraded to version 0.3e.

  • Support for Accton EN2242 and other AmdTek AN985 cards added to the tlp(4) driver.

  • Several country-specific keyboard mappings have been added for USB keyboards.

  • A driver for Yamaha YMF724/740/744/745-based sound cards has been added, see yds(4).

  • The maximum number of BSD disklabel partitions on the i386 port has been increased from 8 to 16.

  • Drivers for the AC'97 based audio sound chips ESS Technology Maestro 1, 2, and 2E (see esm(4)), NeoMagic 256 (see neo(4)), and Cirrus Logic CrystalClear PCI Audio CS4281 (see clct(4))have been added.

In addition, many bugs have been fixed--more than 95 problems reported through our problem tracking system have been fixed, and some other non-reported problems have also been found and fixed. See the CHANGES-1.5.1 file for the complete list.

The NetBSD Packages Collection (pkgsrc) which is used to maintain, build, track dependencies, and maintain NetBSD-specific fixes to third-party programs, has received a major overhaul for NetBSD 1.5.1. Some highlights are:

  • Many new packages were added to the collection, which now includes about 2100 packages. Many of them are also available as pre-compiled binaries on ftp.netbsd.org and its mirrors. Many packages have been modified and enhanced to compile and function properly on big-endian (m68k, sparc), and LP64 architectures (alpha, sparc64).

  • KDE2 and KOffice together consitutes a fully integrated office environment with no license problems, available for i386, alpha and many other architectures.

  • Mozilla 0.9, KDE2's Konqueror, and Links 0.95 are just a few examples of the web browsers available.

  • A support package for running VMware on NetBSD/i386 was added, it's called suse_vmware. The official VMware code, a valid license, and Wasabi Systems' compatibility package are all needed to run VMware.

  • Internal changes of the pkgsrc system include strong checksums to prevent malicious distribution files, as well as restructuring of the package structure in pkgsrc for faster extraction of pkgsrc tar files and upgrades via SUP and CVS.

Please note that at the moment, sysinst will not assist you in installing pre-built third-party binary packages or the pkgsrc system itself, so you will have to manually install packages using pkg_install or fetch and extract the pkgsrc.tgz tar file to get started.

Lastly, it should be noted that the X11 binaries shipped in NetBSD 1.5.2 is still based on XFree86 version 3.3.6. Several newer graphics cards are inadequately supported by that code base, but on the other hand support for several older graphics cards is not available in newer XFree86 code. NetBSD is in the process of moving to XFree86 version 4, and is currently maintaining both the XFree86 3.3.6 and the XFree86 version 4 code in the xsrc source set, and you may at compile time pick which sources to build and install. To ease installation, testing and use of the XFree86 version 4 code, a binary snapshot based on XFree86 version 4.0.3 will be made available for at least the i386 architecture shortly after the release of NetBSD 1.5.2.

Changes Between The NetBSD 1.4 and 1.5 Releases

The NetBSD1.5 release provides numerous significant functional enhancements, including support for many new devices, integration of hundreds of bug fixes, new and updated kernel subsystems, and many userland enhancements. The result of these improvements is a stable operating system fit for production use that rivals most commercially available systems.

It is impossible to completely summarize over one year of development that went into the NetBSD1.5.2 release. Some highlights include:

Kernel

  • Ports to new platforms including: arc, cobalt, hpcmips, news68k, sgimips, and sparc64.

  • Improved performance and stability of the UVM virtual memory subsystem.

  • Implementation of generic kernel locking code, as well as a restructure and re-tuning of the scheduler, to be used by the future symmetric multi-processing (SMP) implementation.

  • Improved compatibility support for Linux, OSF1, and SVR4 programs.

  • New compatibility support for Win32 programs.

  • Support for dynamically loaded ELF kernel modules.

  • Kernel process tracing using ktruss(1).

  • Deletion of swap devices using swapctl(8).

  • Easier hot-pluggability of keyboards and mice using a new wscons device--wsmux.

  • Improved PCMCIA and CardBus support, including support for detaching of devices and cards, resulting in better support for notebooks and PDA devices.

  • Numerous hardware improvements, including areas such as: audio, UDMA/66 support for ATA drives, USB, and wireless networking.
Networking

  • Addition of IP version 6 (IPv6) and IPsec to the networking stack, from the KAME project. This includes addition of kernel code for IPv6/IPsec, IPv4/v6 dual-stack user applications and supporting libraries. Due to this, the shlib major version for pcap(3) is incremented and you may need to recompile userland tools. The KAME IPv6 part includes results from the unified-IPv6 effort.
File system

  • Significant Fast file system (FFS) performance enhancements via integration of Kirk McKusick's soft updates and trickle sync code.

  • Support for the Windows NT `NTFS' file system (read-only at this stage).

  • Support for revision 1 of the Linux `ext2fs' file system.

  • Enhanced stability and usability of LFS (the BSD log-structured file system).

  • Various RAIDframe enhancements including: auto-detection of RAID components and auto-configuration of RAID sets, and the ability to configure the root file system (/) on a RAID set.

  • Support for Microsoft Joliet extensions to the ISO9660 CD file system.

  • Improved file system vnode locking mechanisms, thus resolving a source of several panics in the past.

  • Support for NFS and RPC over IPv6.

  • The server part of NFS locking (implemented by rpc.lockd(8)) now works.
Security

  • Strong cryptographic libraries and applications integrated, including the AES cipher Rijndael, the OpenSSL library, more complete Kerberos IV and Kerberos V support, and an SSH server and client.

  • sysctl(3) interfaces to various elements of process and system information, allowing programs such as ps(1), dmesg(1) and the like to operate without recompilation after kernel upgrades, and remove the necessity to run setgid kmem (thus improving system security).

  • Disable various services by default, and set the default options for disabled daemons to a higher level of logging.

  • Several code audits were performed. One audit replaced string routines that were used without bounds checking, and another one identified and disabled places where format strings were used in unsafe ways, allowing arbitrary data to be entered by (possibly) malicious users to overwrite application code, and leading from Denial of Service attacks to compromised systems.

  • sshd(8) and ssh(1) now require rnd(4) kernel random number devices.
System administration and user tools

  • Conversion of the rc(8) system startup and shutdown scripts to an `rc.d' mechanism, with separate control scripts for each service, and appropriate dependency ordering provided by rcorder(8).

  • postfix(1) provided as alternative mail transport agent to sendmail(8).

  • User management tools useradd(8), usermod(8), userdel(8), groupadd(8), groupmod(8), and groupdel(8) added to the system.

  • Incorporation of a login class capability database (/etc/login.conf) from BSD/OS.

  • Improved support for usernames longer than eight characters in programs such as at(1) and w(1).

  • Many enhancements to ftpd(8) providing features found in larger and less secure FTP daemons, such as user classes, connection limits, improved support for virtual hosting, transfer statistics, transfer rate throttling, and support for various IETF ftpext working group extensions.

  • The ftp(1) client has been improved even further, including transfer rate throttling, improved URL support, command line uploads. See the man page for details.
Miscellaneous

  • Updates to the NetBSD source code style code (located in /usr/share/misc/style) to use ANSI C only (instead of K&R) and reflect current (best) practice, and begin migrating the NetBSD source code to follow it.

  • Implementation of many SUSv2 features to the curses(3) library, including support for color.

  • Updates of most third party packages that are shipped in the base system, including file(1), ipfilter(4), ppp(4), and sendmail(8) to the latest stable release.

  • Many new packages in the pkgsrc system, including standard desktops like KDE and GNOME as well as latest Tcl/Tk and perl and many of the components of the Java Enterprise platform. The package framework itself now has full wildcard dependency support.

Kernel interfaces have continued to be refined, and more subsystems and device drivers are shared among the different ports. You can look for this trend to continue.

This is the fifth major release of NetBSD for the mvme68k series of boards.

The Future of NetBSD

The NetBSD Foundation has been incorporated as a non-profit organization. Its purpose is to encourage, foster and promote the free exchange of computer software, namely the NetBSD Operating System. The foundation will allow for many things to be handled more smoothly than could be done with our previous informal organization. In particular, it provides the framework to deal with other parties that wish to become involved in the NetBSD Project.

The NetBSD Foundation will help improve the quality of NetBSD by:

  • providing better organization to keep track of development efforts, including co-ordination with groups working in related fields.

  • providing a framework to receive donations of goods and services and to own the resources necessary to run the NetBSD Project.

  • providing a better position from which to undertake promotional activities.

  • periodically organizing workshops for developers and other interested people to discuss ongoing work.

We intend to begin narrowing the time delay between releases. Our ambition is to provide a full release every six to eight months.

We hope to support even more hardware in the future, and we have a rather large number of other ideas about what can be done to improve NetBSD.

We intend to continue our current practice of making the NetBSD-current development source available on a daily basis.

We intend to integrate free, positive changes from whatever sources submit them, providing that they are well thought-out and increase the usability of the system.

Above all, we hope to create a stable and accessible system, and to be responsive to the needs and desires of NetBSD users, because it is for and because of them that NetBSD exists.

NetBSD 1.5.2 Release Contents

The root directory of the NetBSD1.5.2 release is organized as follows:

.../NetBSD-1.5.2/

CHANGES
Changes since earlier NetBSD releases.

Last minute changes.

MIRRORS
A list of sites that mirror the NetBSD1.5.2 distribution.

README.files
README describing the distribution's contents.

TODO

patches/
Post-release source code patches.

source/
Source distribution sets; see below.

In addition to the files and directories listed above, there is one directory per architecture, for each of the architectures for which NetBSD1.5.2 has a binary distribution. There are also README.export-control files sprinkled liberally throughout the distribution tree, which point out that there are some portions of the distribution that may be subject to export regulations of the United States, e.g. code under src/crypto and src/sys/crypto. It is your responsibility to determine whether or not it is legal for you to export these portions and to act accordingly.

The source distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the source subdirectory of the distribution tree. They contain the complete sources to the system. The source distribution sets are as follows:

gnusrc
This set contains the ``gnu'' sources, including the source for the compiler, assembler, groff, and the other GNU utilities in the binary distribution sets.
22.3 MB gzipped, 98.8 MB uncompressed

pkgsrc
This set contains the ``pkgsrc'' sources, which contain the infrastructure to build third-party packages.
7.4 MB gzipped, 73.0 MB uncompressed

sharesrc
This set contains the ``share'' sources, which include the sources for the man pages not associated with any particular program; the sources for the typesettable document set; the dictionaries; and more.
3.3 MB gzipped, 13.2 MB uncompressed

src
This set contains all of the base NetBSD1.5.2 sources which are not in gnusrc, sharesrc, or syssrc.
24.8 MB gzipped, 123.1 MB uncompressed

syssrc
This set contains the sources to the NetBSD1.5.2 kernel for all architectures; config(8); and dbsym(8).
18.0 MB gzipped, 90.9 MB uncompressed

xsrc
This set contains the sources to the X Window System.
78.1 MB gzipped, 393.6 MB uncompressed

All the above source sets are located in the source/sets subdirectory of the distribution tree.

The source sets are distributed as compressed tar files. They may be unpacked into /usr/src with the command:


       #( cd / ; tar -zxpf - ) < set_name.tgz

The sets/Split/ subdirectory contains split versions of the source sets for those users who need to load the source sets from floppy or otherwise need a split distribution. The split sets are named set_name.xx where set_name is the distribution set name, and xx is the sequence number of the file, starting with ``aa'' for the first file in the distribution set, then ``ab'' for the next, and so on. All of these files except the last one of each set should be exactly 240,640 bytes long. (The last file is just long enough to contain the remainder of the data for that distribution set.)

The split distributions may be reassembled and extracted with cat as follows:


       # cat set_name.?? | ( cd / ; tar -zxpf - )

In each of the source distribution set directories, there are files which contain the checksums of the files in the directory:

BSDSUM
Historic BSD checksums for the various files in that directory, in the format produced by the command: cksum -o 1 file.

CKSUM
POSIX checksums for the various files in that directory, in the format produced by the command: cksum file.

MD5
MD5 digests for the various files in that directory, in the format produced by the command: cksum -m file.

SYSVSUM
Historic AT&T System V UNIX checksums for the various files in that directory, in the format produced by the command: cksum -o -2 file.

The MD5 digest is the safest checksum, followed by the POSIX checksum. The other two checksums are provided only to ensure that the widest possible range of system can check the integrity of the release files.

NetBSD/mvme68k subdirectory structure

Binary distribution sets
The NetBSD mvme68k binary distribution sets contain the binaries which comprise the NetBSD1.5.2 release for the mvme68k. There are eight binary distribution sets. The binary distribution sets can be found in the mvme68k/binary/sets subdirectory of the NetBSD1.5.2 distribution tree, and are as follows:

base
The NetBSD1.5.2 mvme68k 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.
15.5 MB gzipped, 41.2 MB uncompressed

comp
Things needed for compiling programs. This set includes the system include files (/usr/include) 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.
11.8 MB gzipped, 39.5 MB uncompressed

etc
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.
0.1 MB gzipped, 0.6 MB uncompressed

games
This set includes the games and their manual pages.
3.0 MB gzipped, 7.4 MB uncompressed

kern
This set contains a NetBSD/mvme68k 1.5.2 GENERIC kernel, named /netbsd. You must install this distribution set.
0.7 MB gzipped, 1.4 MB uncompressed

man
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.
5.0 MB gzipped, 19.9 MB uncompressed

misc
This set includes the (rather large) system dictionaries, the typesettable document set, and other files from /usr/share.
2.6 MB gzipped, 10.1 MB uncompressed

text
This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools, including groff(1), all related programs, and their manual pages.
1.3 MB gzipped, 4.7 MB uncompressed

NetBSD maintains its own set of sources for the X Window System in order to assure tight integration and compatibility. These sources are based on XFree86, and tightly track XFree86 releases. The binaries shipped with NetBSD 1.5.2 are based on XFree86 version 3.3.6. NetBSD is in the process of moving to XFree86 version 4, and the X source set actually contains source for both XFree86 3.3.6 and XFree86 4, and the ability to decide at compile-time which one to build and install. The X Window System binary sets distributed with NetBSD are:

xbase
The basic files needed for a complete X client environment. This does not include the X servers.
2.6 MB gzipped, 8.2 MB uncompressed

xcomp
The extra libraries and include files needed to compile X source code.
1.7 MB gzipped, 7.2 MB uncompressed

xcontrib
Programs that were contributed to X.
0.2 MB gzipped, 0.7 MB uncompressed

xfont
Fonts needed by X.
6.2 MB gzipped, 7.5 MB uncompressed

The mvme68k binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files named with the extension .tgz, e.g. base.tgz.

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 /-relative and therefore 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 tar -xpf command from /.

The following are included in the mvme68k/installation directory:

miniroot/

miniroot.gz
A copy of the miniroot file system. This filesystem image is copied into the swap partition of the disk which you intend to boot NetBSD from. Normally, this step will be performed manually from the ramdisk boot environment.

netboot/

sboot
An MVME147 bootstrap program in Motorola S-Record format. This is required when you wish to boot an MVME147 over the network since the ROM has no built-in network support. Instructions for getting this program into memory are discussed later.

netboot
A standalone 2nd stage bootstrap program loaded over the network via TFTP. This is responsible for fetching and starting the NetBSD mvme68k kernel from an NFS server.

tapeimage/

stboot
This file contains a boot sector for Motorola MVME boards. It must be the first file written to a tape in order to make the tape bootable.

bootst
This file contains a bootstrap program which knows how to load the NetBSD mvme68k ramdisk image from tape. This must be the second file written to the tape.

netbsd-rd.gz
This is the NetBSD mvme68k ramdisk image. It contains a GENERIC kernel and a built in RAMDISK with just enough tools to partition a disk, dump the miniroot kernel to it and make the disk bootable. This must be the third file written to the tape.

Note:
Each directory in the mvme68k binary distribution also has its own checksum files, just as the source distribution does.

NetBSD/mvme68k System Requirements and Supported Devices

NetBSD/mvme68k 1.5.2 runs on Motorola MVME147 , MVME162-LX and MVME167 Single Board Computers.

The minimal configuration requires 8 MB of RAM and ~200 MB of disk space. To install the entire system requires much more disk space (approx. 600 MB additional space is necessary for full sources. Double that if you want to recompile it all!). To run X (clients only) or compile the system, more RAM is recommended. Good performance requires 16 MB of RAM, or 32 MB when running the X Window System.

Note that you can install NetBSD 1.5.2 on a system with only 4 MB of onboard RAM, but you will need to use a VMEbus RAM card with at least another 4 MB to augment the onboard memory in order to actually install the system.

Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install:

Partition Suggested Needed
/ (root) 32 MB 26 MB
/usr 200 MB 150 MB
/var 32 MB 6 MB
swap 2-3 *RAM 16 MB

Anything else is up to you!

Note that the NetBSD/mvme68k installation procedure uses a miniroot image which is placed into the swap area of the disk. The swap partition must be large enough to hold this miniroot image (> 7.5 MB).

Getting the NetBSD System on to Useful Media

Installation is supported from several media types, including:

  • Tape

  • NFS

  • CD-ROM

  • FTP

Note that installing on a `bare' machine requires either a bootable tape drive or an ethernet to a compatible NFS server. MVME147 may also need to be booted over an RS232 connection.

The procedure for transferring the distribution sets onto installation media depends on the type of media. Instructions for each type of media are given below.

In order to create installation media, you will need all the files and subdirectories in these two directories:

.../NetBSD-1.5.2/mvme68k/installation

.../NetBSD-1.5.2/mvme68k/binary
Creating boot/install tapes
Installing from tape is the simplest method of all. This method uses two tapes, one containing a bootable ramdisk and miniroot, the other containing the installation sets.

The boot tape is created as follows:

       # cd .../NetBSD-1.5.2/mvme68k/installation
       # set T = /dev/nrst0
       # mt -f $T rewind
       # dd if=tapeimage/stboot of=$T
       # dd if=tapeimage/bootst of=$T obs=8k conv=osync
       # gzip -dc tapeimage/netbsd-rd.gz | dd of=$T obs=8k conv=osync
       # gzip -dc miniroot/miniroot.gz | dd of=$T obs=8k conv=osync
       # mt -f $T rewind

The installation set tape is created as follows:


       # cd .../NetBSD-1.5.2/mvme68k/binary/sets
       # set T = /dev/nrst0
       # mt -f $T rewind
       # for f in base etc comp games man misc text; do
       gzip -d < $f.tgz | dd of=$T bs=8k
       # done
       # mt -f $T rewind

If the tape does not work as expected, you may need to explicitly set the EOF mark at the end of each tape segment. Consult the tape-related manual pages on the system where the tapes are created for more details.

Boot/Install from NFS server
If your machine has a disk and network connection, but no tape drive, it may be convenient for you to install NetBSD over the network. This involves temporarily booting your machine over NFS, just long enough so you can initialize its disk. This method requires that you have access to an NFS server on your network so you can configure it to support diskless boot for your machine. Configuring the NFS server is normally a task for a system administrator, and is not trivial.

If you are using a NetBSD system as the boot-server, have a look at the diskless(8) manual page for guidelines on how to proceed with this. If the server runs another operating system, consult the documentation that came with it (i.e. add_client(8) on SunOS).

Booting an MVME147 from ethernet is not possible without first downloading a small bootstrap program (sboot) via RS232. See the section entitled Installing from NFS for details on how to accomplish this.

sboot expects to be able to download a second stage bootstrap program via TFTP after having acquired its IP address through RARP It will look for a filename derived from the machine's IP address expressed in hexadecimal, with an extension of `.147'. For example, an MVME147 with IP address 130.115.144.11 will make an TFTP request for 8273900B.147. Normally, this file is just a symbolic link to the NetBSD/mvme68k netboot program, which should be located in a place where the TFTP daemon can find it (remember, many TFTP daemons run in a chroot'ed environment). The netboot program may be found in the install directory of this distribution.

The MVME162-LX and MVME167 boot ROMs have code builtin to boot over ethernet from a TFTP server. You should configure it to download the same netboot program as is used for MVME147.

The netboot program will query a bootparamd server to find the NFS server address and path name for its root, and then load a kernel from that location. The server should have a copy of the netbsd-rd kernel in the root area for your client (no other files are needed in the client root, although it might be a convenient place to put the uncompressed miniroot image) and /etc/bootparams on the server should have an entry for your client and its root directory. Note that you should rename the netbsd-rd kernel to just netbsd in the client's root directory before trying to netboot the client.

The client will need access to the miniroot image, which can be provided using NFS or remote shell. If using NFS, miniroot.gz should be expanded on the server, because doing so from the RAMDISK shell is not so easy. The unzipped miniroot takes about 7.5 MB of space.

If you will be installing NetBSD on several clients, it may be useful to know that you can use a single NFS root for all the clients as long as they only use the netbsd-rd kernel. There will be no conflict between clients because the RAM-disk kernel will not use the NFS root. No swap file is needed; the RAM-disk kernel does not use that either.

Install/Upgrade from CD-ROM
This method requires that you boot from another device (i.e. tape or network, as described above). You may need to make a boot tape on another machine using the files provided on the CD-ROM. Once you have booted netbsd-rd (the RAMDISK kernel) and loaded the miniroot, you can load any of the distribution sets directly from the CD-ROM. The install program in the miniroot automates the work required to mount the CD-ROM and extract the files.
Install/Upgrade via FTP
This method requires that you boot from another device (i.e. tape or network, as described above). You may need to make a boot tape on another machine using the files in .../install (which you get via FTP). Once you have booted netbsd-rd (the RAM-disk kernel) and loaded the miniroot, you can load any of the distribution sets over the net using FTP. The install program in the miniroot automates the work required to configure the network interface and transfer the files.

This method, of course, requires network access to an FTP server. This might be a local system, or it might even be ftp.netbsd.org itself. If you wish to use ftp.netbsd.org as your FTP file server, you may want to keep the following information handy:

No IP Address: ftp.netbsd.org
Login: anonymous
Password: <your e-mail address>
Server path: /pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.5.2/mvme68k/binary

Note:
If you're not using a nameserver duing installation, you might find 204.152.184.75 handy; it's the IP address of ftp.netbsd.org as of October, 2000.

Preparing your System for NetBSD installation

mvme68k machines usually need little or no preparation before installing NetBSD, other than the usual, well advised precaution of backing up all data on any attached storage devices.

The exception to the above is that MVME162-LX and MVME167 boards require a jumper to be removed before NetBSD can be installed. On MVME162-LX pins 1-2 of jumper J11 must be removed. On MVME167 pins 1-2 of jumper J1 must be removed.

Once you've made any necessary jumper changes, the following instructions should make your machine ``NetBSD Ready''.

Power-up your MVME147 board. You should have the bug prompt:

COLD Start
     

Onboard RAM start = $00000000, stop = $007FFFFF

147-Bug>

Or, if you have an MVME162-LX or MVME167 board (the following boot message is from MVME167; MVME162-LX is similar):

MVME167 Debugger/Diagnostics Release Version 2.3 - 02/25/94
COLD Start
     

Local Memory Found =02000000 (&33554432)

MPU Clock Speed =33Mhz

167-Bug>

Make sure the RAM size looks ok (if you've got an 8 MB MVME147 or a 32 MB MVME167 you should have the same value as we do). Also make sure the clock is ticking:

       1xx-Bug>time
       Sunday 12/21/31 16:25:14
       1xx-Bug>time
       Sunday 12/21/31 16:25:15
       1xx-Bug>

Note that NetBSD bases its year at 1968, and adds the year offset in the system's real-time clock to get the current year. So the 31 here equates to 1999. You may have to adjust your clock using the set command to comply with NetBSD 's requirements. Don't worry if the `Day of the week' is not correct, as NetBSD doesn't use it. Motorola has acknowledged a year 2000 bug in some versions of the MVME147 whereby the day of the week doesn't get set correctly by the 147Bug PROM. does not affect NetBSD !

Also make sure that your board's ethernet address is initialised to the correct value. You'll find the address on a label on the inside of the MVME147's front panel, and on the VMEbus P2 connector of the MVME162-LX and MVME167. On the MVME147, enter the last five digits of the address using the lsad command. On the MVME162-LX and MVME167, you should use the cnfg command.

To install successfully to a local SCSI disk, you need to ensure that the system is aware of what targets are connected to the SCSI bus. This can be done by issueing the following command:


       1xx-Bug> iot;t

At this point, Bug will scan for any attached SCSI devices. After a short delay, a list of SCSI devices will be displayed. 147Bug will ask if LUNs should be assigned from SCSI ids, to which you should answer Y. You should also answer Y when asked if the information is to be saved to NVRAM. 16xBug does not prompt for this information.

The following installation instructions will assume that your target SCSI disk drive appears at SCSI-ID 0. If you have a tape drive, the instructions assume is is configured for SCSI-ID 5. When the RAMDISK root boots, NetBSD will refer to these devices as sd0 and rst0 respectively. You may wish to note these down; you'll be using them a lot. :-)

Installing the NetBSD System

Installing NetBSD is a relatively complex process, but if you have this document in hand it should not be too difficult.

There are several ways to install NetBSD onto your disk. If your machine has a tape drive the easiest way is Installing from tape (details below). If your machine is on a network with a suitable NFS server, then Installing from NFS is the next best method. Otherwise, if you have another mvme68k machine running NetBSD you can initialize the disk on that machine and then move the disk.

Installing from tape
Create the NetBSD/mvme68k 1.5.2 boot tape as described in the section entitled Preparing a boot tape. Then, with the tape in the drive, type the following at the Bug prompt:

       147-Bug> bo 5


       16x-Bug> bo 0,50

As mentioned earlier, this assumes your tape is jumpered for SCSI-ID 5.

As the tape loads (which may take 20 to 30 seconds), you will see a series of status messages. It may be useful if you can capture these messages to a file, or a scrollable xterm window. In particular, you should make a note of the lines which describe the geometry of the SCSI disks detected by NetBSD. They are of the form:

sd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0: <Maker, Disk, Foo> SCSI1 0/direct fixed
sd0: 800 MB, 800 cyl, 16 head, 128 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 1638400 sectors

The information of most interest is the number of sectors; for the ficticious disk above, it's 1638400. You will need this number when you come to create a disklabel for that drive.

Here is an example of an MVME147 system booting from tape:

RAM address from VMEbus = $00000000

Note:
The exact text of the messages will vary depending on which mvme68k variant you're using.

Finally, you will see the following "welcome" message:

        Welcome to the NetBSD/mvme68k RAMDISK root!
     

This environment is designed to do only four things: 1: Partititon your disk (use the command: edlabel /dev/rsd0c) 2: Copy a miniroot image into the swap partition (/dev/rsd0b) 3: Make that partition bootable (using 'installboot') 4: Reboot (using the swap partition, i.e. /dev/sd0b).

Copying the miniroot can be done several ways, allowing the source of the miniroot image to be on any of these: boot tape, NFS server, TFTP server, rsh server

The easiest is loading from tape, which is done as follows: mt -f /dev/nrst0 rewind mt -f /dev/nrst0 fsf 3 dd bs=8k if=/dev/nrst0 of=/dev/rsd0b (For help with other methods, please see the install notes.)

To reboot using the swap partition after running installboot, first use halt, then at the Bug monitor prompt use a command like: 1x7Bug> bo 0,,b:

To view this message again, type: cat /.welcome ssh:

You must now create a disklabel on the disk you wish to use for the root file system (/). This will usually be sd0. The disklabel is used by NetBSD to identify the starting block and size of each partition on the disk.

Partitions are named sd0a, sd0b, sd0c, etc, up to sd0h. The mvme68k port of NetBSD makes some assumptions about the first three partitions on a boot disk:

sd0a
The root file system (/).
sd0b
The swap partition.
sd0c
The whole disk. Also known as the raw partition.

The raw partition is special; NetBSD is able to use it even if the disk has no label. You should never create a file system on the Raw Partition, even on a non-boot disk.

It is good practice to put /usr on a different partition than / (root, AKA sd0a). So, the first available partition for /usr is sd0d. Refer to the section entitled NetBSD System Requirements and Supported Devices for information on the recommended sizes of the / (root), /usr and swap partitions.

You are not required to define any partitions beyond sd0d, but if you have a large disk drive, you might want to create several other partitions for file systems such as /home or /usr/src. Note that at this time you are only required to partition the root/boot disk; you will get the opportunity to partition any other disks in your system from the main miniroot installation program.

To create the disklabel and partitions, use the edlabel program, passing it the name of the Raw Partition of your root/boot disk.


       ssh: edlabel /dev/rsd0c
       edlabel menu:
       print - display the current disk label
       modify - prompt for changes to the label
       write - write the new label to disk
       quit - terminate program
       edlabel>

The program shows what commands it recognizes; print, modify, write, and quit. It will accept the first letter of a command if you don't feel like typing each one in full.

To start creating the basic partitions, you should enter m (modify) at the edlabel prompt, then enter the letter corresponding to the first partition, a.


       edlabel> m


       modify subcommands:
       @: modify disk parameters
       a-h: modify partition
       s: standarize geometry
       q: quit this subcommand
       edlabel/modify> a
       a (root) 0 (0/00/00) 0 (0/00/00) unused
       start as <blkno> or <cyls/trks/sects>: 0
       length as <nblks> or <cyls/trks/sects>: 65536
       type: 4.2BSD
       edlabel/modify>

When you enter the start and length of a partition, you can use either blocks or cylinder/track/sector notation. If this is the first time you've partitioned a disk for NetBSD, it's probably easiest to use block notation. The above example creates partition `a', starting at block zero and with a size of 65536 blocks. Note that the usual size of a block is 512 bytes, so this creates a 32 MB partition.

The type of the partition should be 4.2BSD, otherwise you won't be able to create a file system on it.

Next, create a swap partition (b). Note that the minimum size of this swap partition should be 8 MB, otherwise you won't be able to use a miniroot to complete the NetBSD installation!


       edlabel/modify> b
       b (swap) 0 (0/00/00) 0 (0/00/00) unused
       start as <blkno> or <cyls/trks/sects>: 65536
       length as <nblks> or <cyls/trks/sects>: 32768
       type: swap
       edlabel/modify>

Here, we specify a value for start such that the swap partition follows immediately after partition `a', i.e. 65536. The length of the swap partition should be a multiple of the amount of RAM you have in your system. Here, we've chosen 32768, or 16 MB. The next available block on the drive is thus 65536 + 32768. We will use this to create partition `d' for our /usr file system. (Note that for a busy system, or a system with more than 8 MB of RAM, you'll be better off with a 32 or 64 MB swap partition.)


       edlabel/modify> d
       d (user) 0 (0/00/00) 0 (0/00/00) unused
       start as <blkno> or <cyls/trks/sects>: 98304
       length as <nblks> or <cyls/trks/sects>: 1540096
       type: 4.2BSD
       edlabel/modify> q
       edlabel>

As you can see, we've chosen to assign the remainder of the disk to /usr. Since there are 1638400 sectors on the example disk (did you remember to note down the number of sectors on your disk during boot?), and partition d starts at sector 98304, a simple bit of arithmetic (1638400 - 98304) gives d a size of 1540096.

Note that the above partition sizes are just guidelines. If your disk is large enough, you should resize the partitions appropriately and perhaps also create a /var partition as well.

You now need to write this new disklabel, together with the partition details you've just entered, to disk. You might also try the `p' command to view the partitions. Once written, you can quit back to ssh using `q'.


       edlabel> p

     type_num: 4
     sub_type: 0
       type_name: SCSI disk
       pack_name: fictitious

a (root) 0 (0/00/00) 65536 (32/00/00) 4.2BSD b (swap) 65536 (32/00/00) 32768 (48/00/00) swap c (disk) 0 (0/00/00) 1638400 (800/00/00) unused d (user) 98304 (48/00/00) 1540096 (752/00/00) 4.2BSD


       edlabel> w
       edlabel> q
       ssh:

Now that your disk's partitioned, you need to get the proper installation miniroot image onto it. The miniroot image is designed to be copied into the swap partition of your disk. This is a safe place which won't be overwritten by the installation procedure. From the ssh prompt, use the following commands to copy the miniroot image from tape to swap (b).


       ssh: mt -f /dev/nrst0 rewind
       ssh: mt -f /dev/nrst0 fsf 3
       ssh: dd bs=8k if=/dev/nrst0 of=/dev/rsd0b

The disk and the miniroot must now be made bootable using the installboot(8) command. To do this, issue the following commands:


       ssh: mount /dev/sd0b /mnt
       ssh: installboot /mnt/usr/mdec/bootsd /bootxx /dev/rsd0b
       ssh: umount /dev/sd0b

You can now shutdown the system.


       ssh: halt
       signal 15
       ssh: syncing disks... done
       unmounting / (root_device)...
       halted


       147-Bug> reset
       Reset Local SCSI Bus [Y,N] N? y
       Automatic reset of known SCSI Buses on RESET [Y,N] Y?
       Cold/Warm Reset flag [C,W] = C?
       Execute Soft Reset [Y,N] N? y

Resetting the MVME162-LX and MVME167 boards are very similar. You should now reboot from that just installed miniroot. See the section entitled Booting the miniroot for details.

Installing from NFS
Before you can install from NFS, you must have already configured your NFS server to support your machine as a bootable client. Instructions for configuring the server are found in the section entitled Getting the NetBSD System onto Useful Media above.

To get started on the MVME147, you need to download sboot into RAM (you will find sboot in the install directory of the mvme68k distribution). You can either do that through the console line or through a 2nd serial connection. For example, an MVME147 connected to a sun4/110 and accessed via tip(1) can be loaded as follows:

lo 0
~Ccat sboot
go 4000

Which will look like this:


       147-Bug> lo 0
       ~CLocal command? cat sboot

away for 11 seconds


       !


       147-Bug> g 4000
       Effective address: 00004000


       sboot: serial line bootstrap program (end = 6018)


       >>>

Now, if you want to do it through serial line 1, then connect serial line one to a machine. At the 147-Bug> prompt type tm 1 You should then login to the machine it is connected to. Then press CONTROL-A to escape to Bug. do lo 1;x=cat sboot ... then when that is done you can reconnect tm 1 and logout. Then do go 4000 and you've got the >>> prompt of sboot.

Once you've got the >>> prompt, you can boot the RAMDISK kernel from the server:


       >>> b

le0: ethernet address: 8:0:3e:20:cb:87
My ip address is: 192.168.1.4
Server ip address is: 192.168.1.1
4800
Download was a success!

See below for the next step in booting MVME147.

The MVME162-LX and MVME167 boards are able to download netboot directly using TFTP. To enable this, you must first configure the networking parameters on the board as described in the section entitled "Preparing your System for NetBSD Installation. On a properly configured MVME162-LX or MVME167, all you need to type is:


       16x-Bug> nbo

For all board types, the boot messages are very similar:

Start @ 0x8000 ...

NetBSD 1.5 (RAMDISK) #1: Sun Oct 29 16:19:04 GMT 2000 steve@fatbob:/usr/src/sys/arch/mvme68k/compile/RAMDISK Motorola MVME-147S: 25MHz MC68030 CPU+MMU, MC68882 FPU real mem = 7237632 avail mem = 6381568 using 88 buffers containing 360448 bytes of memory mainbus0 (root) pcc0 at mainbus0: Peripheral Channel Controller, rev 0, vecbase 0x40 clock0 at pcc0 offset 0x0 ipl 5: Mostek MK48T02, 2048 bytes of NVRAM . .

After the boot program loads the RAMDISK kernel, you should see the welcome screen as shown in the "tape boot" section above.

You now need to create a disklabel with partition information on the SCSI disk on which you intend to create your root file system (/). Follow the instructions in the previous section entitled Installing from tape to do this. (But stop short of the part which describes how to copy the miniroot from tape.)

You must now configure the network interface before you can access the NFS server containing the miniroot image. For example the command:


       ssh: ifconfig le0 inet 192.168.1.4 up

will bring up the MVME147 network interface le0 with that address. The command:


       ssh: ifconfig ie0 inet 192.168.1.4 up

will bring up the MVME162-LX or MVME167 network interface ie0 with that address. The next step is to copy the miniroot from your server. This can be done using either NFS or remote shell. (In the examples that follow, the server has IP address 192.168.1.1) You may then need to add a default route if the server is on a different subnet:


       ssh: route add default 192.168.1.2 1

You can look at the route table using:


       ssh: route show

Now mount the NFS file system containing the miniroot image:


       ssh: mount -r 192.168.1.1:/export/soapy /mnt

The procedure is simpler if you have space for an expanded (not compressed) copy of the miniroot image. In that case:


       ssh: dd bs=8k if=/mnt/miniroot of=/dev/rsd0b

Otherwise, you will need to use zcat to expand the miniroot image while copying. This is tricky because the ssh program (small shell) does not handle sh(1) pipeline syntax. Instead, you first run the reader in the background with its input set to /dev/pipe and then run the other program in the foreground with its output to /dev/pipe. The result looks like this:


       ssh: run -bg dd obs=8k if=/dev/pipe of=/dev/rsd0b
       ssh: run -o /dev/pipe zcat /mnt/install/miniroot.gz

To load the miniroot using rsh to the server, you would use a pair of commands similar to the above. Here is another example:


       ssh: run -b dd obs=8k if=/dev/pipe of=/dev/rsd0b
       ssh: run -o /dev/pipe rsh 192.168.1.1 zcat miniroot.gz

You must now make the disk bootable. Refer to the previous section on installing from tape, where it describes how to run installboot. This is immediately following the part which explains how to copy the miniroot from tape.

Booting the miniroot
Assuming the miniroot is installed on partition `b' of the disk with SCSI-ID 0, then the 147Bug boot command is:


       147-Bug> bo 0,,b:

The corresponding 162Bug or 167Bug boot command is:


       16x-Bug> bo 0,,,b:

The command line parameters above are:

0
controller (usually zero)

b:
tell the bootstrap code to boot from partition b

You should see a bunch of boot messages, followed by messages from the miniroot kernel just as you did when the RAMDISK kernel booted.

You will then be prompted to enter the root device. Since the miniroot was booted from the swap partition, you should enter sd0b. You will then be asked for the swap device and file system type. Just press RETURN twice to accept the defaults. When asked to enter a terminal type, either accept the default, or use whatever the TERM environment variable is set to in the shell of your host system:


       boot device: sd0
       root device (default sd0a): sd0b
       dump device (default sd0b): (return)
       file system (default generic): (return)
       root on sd0b dumps on sd0b
       mountroot: trying ffs...
       root file system type: ffs
       init: copying out path `/sbin/init' 11
       erase ^H, werase ^W, kill ^U, intr ^C
       Terminal type? [vt100] return

Congratulations! The system should now be running the miniroot installation program.

Miniroot install program:
The miniroot's install program is very simple to use. It will guide you through the entire process, and is well automated. Additional improvements are planned for future releases.

The miniroot's install program will:

  • Allow you to place disklabels on additional disks. The disk we are installing on should already have been partitioned using the RAMDISK kernel.

    Note that partition sizes and offsets are expressed in sectors. When you fill out the disklabel, you will need to specify partition types and file system parameters. If you're unsure what these values should be, use the following defaults:

    fstype: 4.2BSD
    fsize: 1024
    bsize: 4096
    cpg: 16
    

    If the partition will be a swap partition, use the following:

    fstype: swap
    fsize: 0 (or blank)
    bsize: 0 (or blank)
    cpg: 0 (or blank)
    

    Note that partition `c' is special; it covers then entire disk and should not be assigned to a file system.

    The number of partitions is currently fixed at 8.

  • Create file systems on target partitions.

  • Allow you to set up your system's network configuration. Remember to specify host names without the domain name appended to the end. For example use foo instead of foo.bar.org. If, during the process of configuring the network interfaces, you make a mistake, you will be able to re-configure that interface by simply selecting it for configuration again.

  • Mount target file systems. You will be given the opportunity to manually edit the resulting /etc/fstab.

  • Extract binary sets from the media of your choice.

  • Copy configuration information gathered during the installation process to your root file system (/).

  • Make device nodes in your root file system under /dev.

  • Copy a new kernel onto your root partition (/).

  • Install a new boot block.

  • Check your file systems for integrity.

First-time installation on a system through a method other than the installation program is possible, but strongly discouraged.

Post installation steps

Once you've got the operating system running, there are a few things you need to do in order to bring the system into a properly configured state, with the most important ones described below.

  1. Configuring /etc/rc.conf

    If you or the installation software haven't done any configuration of /etc/rc.conf (sysinst usually will), the system will drop you into single user mode on first reboot with the message

           /etc/rc.conf is not configured. Multiuser boot aborted.

    and with the root file system (/) mounted read-write. When the system asks you to choose a shell, simply press RETURN to get to a /bin/sh prompt. If you are asked for a terminal type, respond with vt220 (or whatever is appropriate for your terminal type) and press RETURN. You may need to type one of the following commands to get your delete key to work properly, depending on your keyboard:
           # stty erase '^h'
           # stty erase '^?'
    At this point, you need to configure at least one file in the /etc directory. You will need to mount your root filesystem read/write with:
           # /sbin/mount -u -w /
    Change to the /etc directory and take a look at the /etc/rc.conf file. Modify it to your tastes, making sure that you set rc_configured=YES so that your changes will be enabled and a multi-user boot can proceed. Default values for the various programs can be found in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, where some in-line documentation may be found. More complete documentation can be found in rc.conf(5).

    If your /usr directory is on a separate partition and you do not know how to use ed, you will have to mount your /usr partition to gain access to ex or vi. Do the following:


           # mount /usr

           # export TERM=vt220

    If you have /var on a separate partition, you need to repeat that step for it. After that, you can edit /etc/rc.conf with vi(1). When you have finished, type exit at the prompt to leave the single-user shell and continue with the multi-user boot.

    Other values that need to be set in /etc/rc.conf for a networked environment are hostname and possibly defaultroute, furthermore add an ifconfig_int for your <int> network interface, along the lines of


           ifconfig_de0="inet 123.45.67.89 netmask 255.255.255.0"

    or, if you have myname.my.dom in /etc/hosts:


           ifconfig_de0="inet myname.my.dom netmask 255.255.255.0"

    To enable proper hostname resolution, you will also want to add an /etc/resolv.conf file or (if you are feeling a little more adventurous) run named(8). See resolv.conf(5) or named(8) for more information.

    Other files in /etc that may require modification or setting up include /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf, and /etc/wscons.conf.

  2. Logging in

    After reboot, you can log in as root at the login prompt. Unless you've set a password in sysinst, there is no initial password. If you're using the machine in a networked environment, you should create an account for yourself (see below) and protect it and the ``root'' account with good passwords. Unless you have connected an unusual terminal device as the console you can just press RETURN when it prompts for Terminal type? [...].

  3. Adding accounts

    Use the useradd(8) command to add accounts to your system, do not edit /etc/passwd directly. See useradd(8) for more information on how to add a new user to the system.

  4. The X Window System

    If you have installed the X Window System, look at the files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc for information.

    Don't forget to add /usr/X11R6/bin to your path in your shell's dot file so that you have access to the X binaries.

  5. Installing third party packages

    If you wish to install any of the software freely available for UNIX-like systems you are strongly advised to first check the NetBSD package system. This automatically handles any changes necessary to make the software run on NetBSD, retrieval and installation of any other packages on which the software may depend, and simplifies installation (and deinstallation), both from source and precompiled binaries.

    • More information on the package system is at http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html

    • A browsable listing of available packages is at ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/README.html

    • Precompiled binaries can be found at ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages, usually in the 1.5.2/mvme68k/All subdir. You can install them with the following commands:

      # export PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.5.2/mvme68k/All
      # pkg_add -v tcsh
      # pkg_add -v cvs
      # pkg_add -v apache
      # pkg_add -v perl
      ...
      

      The above commands will install the tcsh shell, the CVS source code management system, the Apache web server and the perl programming language as well as all the packages they depend on.

    • Package sources for compiling packages on your own can be obtained by retrieving the file ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/pkgsrc.tar.gz They are typically extracted into /usr/pkgsrc (though other locations work fine), with the commands:


             # mkdir /usr/pkgsrc
             #( cd /usr/pkgsrc ; tar -zxpf - ) < pkgsrc.tar.gz

      After extracting, then see the README file in the extraction directory (e.g. /usr/pkgsrc/README) for more information.

  6. Misc

    • Edit /etc/mail/aliases to forward root mail to the right place. Don't forget to run newaliases(1) afterwards.

    • The /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file will almost definitely need to be adjusted; files aiding in this can be found in /usr/share/sendmail. See the README file there for more information.

    • Edit /etc/rc.local to run any local daemons you use.

    • Many of the /etc files are documented in section 5 of the manual; so just invoking


             # man 5 filename

      is likely to give you more information on these files.


Upgrading a previously-installed NetBSD System

It is possible to easily upgrade your existing NetBSD/mvme68k system using the upgrade program in the miniroot. If you wish to upgrade your system by this method, simply select the upgrade option once the miniroot has booted. The upgrade program with then guide you through the procedure. The upgrade program will:

  1. Enable the network based on your system's current network configuration.

  2. Mount your existing file systems.

  3. Extract binary sets from the media of your choice.

  4. Fixup your system's existing /etc/fstab, changing the occurrences of ufs to ffs and let you edit the resulting file.

  5. Make new device nodes in your root file system under /dev.

  6. Don't forget to extract the kern set from the distribution.

    Note:
    The existing kernel will not be backed up; doing so would be pointless, since older kernels may not be capable of running NetBSD1.5.2 executables.

  7. Install a new boot block.

  8. Check your file systems for integrity.

While using the miniroot's upgrade program is the preferred method of upgrading your system, it is possible to upgrade your system manually. To do this, follow the following procedure:

  1. Place at least the base binary set in a file system accessible to the target machine. A local file system is preferred, since the NFS subsystem in the NetBSD1.5.2 kernel may be incompatible with your old binaries.

  2. Back up your pre-existing kernel and copy the 1.5.2 kernel into your root partition (/).

  3. Reboot with the 1.5.2 kernel into single-user mode.

  4. Check all file systems:

           # /sbin/fsck -pf

  5. Mount all local file systems:


           # /sbin/mount -a -t nonfs

  6. If you keep /usr or /usr/share on an NFS server, you will want to mount those file systems as well. To do this, you will need to enable the network:


           # sh /etc/rc.d/network start

  7. Make sure you are in the root file system (/) and extract the base binary set:


           # cd /
           # pax -zrvpe -f /path/to/base.tgz

  8. Install a new boot block:


           # cd /usr/mdec

           # cp bootsd /.bootsd
           # ./installboot /.bootsd bootxx < root-disk

    E.g.: root-disk could be /dev/rsd0a.

  9. Sync the file systems:


           # sync

  10. At this point you may extract any other binary sets you may have placed on local file systems, or you may wish to extract additional sets at a later time. To extract these sets, use the following commands:


           # cd /
           # pax -zrvpe -f path_to_set

Note:
You should not extract the etc set if upgrading. Instead, you should extract that set into another area and carefully merge the changes by hand.

Compatibility Issues With Previous NetBSD Releases

Users upgrading from previous versions of NetBSD may wish to bear the following problems and compatibility issues in mind when upgrading to NetBSD1.5.2.

General issues

  • /etc/rc modified to use /etc/rc.d/*

    Prior to NetBSD1.5, /etc/rc was a traditional BSD style monolithic file; each discrete program or substem from /etc/rc and /etc/netstart has been moved into separate scripts in /etc/rc.d/.

    At system startup, /etc/rc uses rcorder(8) to build a dependency list of the files in /etc/rc.d and then executes each script in turn with an argument of `start'. Many rc.d scripts won't start unless the appropriate rc.conf(5) entry in /etc/rc.conf is set to `YES.'

    At system shutdown, /etc/rc.shutdown uses rcorder(8) to build a dependency list of the files in /etc/rc.d that have a ``KEYWORD: shutdown'' line, reverses the resulting list, and then executes each script in turn with an argument of `stop'. The following scripts support a specific shutdown method: cron, inetd, local, and xdm.

    Local and third-party scripts may be installed into /etc/rc.d as necessary. Refer to the other scripts in that directory and rc(8) for more information on implementing rc.d scripts.

Issues affecting an upgrade from NetBSD 1.4 or prior

  • named(8) leaks version information

    Previous releases of NetBSD disabled a feature of named(8) where the version number of the server could be determined by remote clients. This feature has not been disabled in NetBSD1.5, because there is a named.conf(5) option to change the version string:

     option {
         version "newstring";
     };
    

  • sysctl(8) pathname changed

    sysctl(8) is moved from /usr/sbin/sysctl to /sbin/sysctl. If you have hardcoded references to the full pathname (in shell scripts, for example) please be sure to update those.

  • sendmail(8) configuration file pathname changed

    Due to sendmail(8) upgrade from 8.9.x to 8.10.x, /etc/sendmail.cf is moved to /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. Also, the default sendmail.cf(5) refers different pathnames than before. For example, /etc/aliases is now located at /etc/mail/aliases, /etc/sendmail.cw is now called /etc/mail/local-host-names, and so forth. If you have customized sendmail.cf(5) and friends, you will need to move the files to the new locations. See /usr/share/sendmail/README for more information.

Using online NetBSD documentation

Documentation is available if you first install the manual distribution set. Traditionally, the ``man pages'' (documentation) are denoted by `name(section)'. Some examples of this are

  • intro(1),
  • man(1),
  • apropros(1),
  • passwd(1), and
  • passwd(5).

The section numbers group the topics into several categories, but three are of primary interest: user commands are in section 1, file formats are in section 5, and administrative information is in section 8.

The man command is used to view the documentation on a topic, and is started by entering man[ section] topic. The brackets [] around the section should not be entered, but rather indicate that the section is optional. If you don't ask for a particular section, the topic with the lowest numbered section name will be displayed. For instance, after logging in, enter


       # man passwd

to read the documentation for passwd(1). To view the documentation for passwd(5), enter


       # man 5 passwd

instead.

If you are unsure of what man page you are looking for, enter apropos subject-word

where subject-word is your topic of interest; a list of possibly related man pages will be displayed.

Administrivia

If you've got something to say, do so! We'd like your input. There are various mailing lists available via the mailing list server at majordomo@netbsd.org. To get help on using the mailing list server, send mail to that address with an empty body, and it will reply with instructions.

There are various mailing lists set up to deal with comments and questions about this release. Please send comments to: netbsd-comments@netbsd.org.

To report bugs, use the send-pr(1) command shipped with NetBSD, and fill in as much information about the problem as you can. Good bug reports include lots of details. Additionally, bug reports can be sent by mail to: netbsd-bugs@netbsd.org.

Use of send-pr(1) is encouraged, however, because bugs reported with it are entered into the NetBSD bugs database, and thus can't slip through the cracks.

There are also port-specific mailing lists, to discuss aspects of each port of NetBSD. Use majordomo to find their addresses, or visit http://www.netbsd.org/MailingLists/. If you're interested in doing a serious amount of work on a specific port, you probably should contact the `owner' of that port (listed below).

If you'd like to help with this effort, and have an idea as to how you could be useful, send us mail or subscribe to: netbsd-help@netbsd.org.

As a favor, please avoid mailing huge documents or files to these mailing lists. Instead, put the material you would have sent up for FTP or WWW somewhere, then mail the appropriate list about it, or, if you'd rather not do that, mail the list saying you'll send the data to those who want it.
