procedure for NetBSD 3.0.3 on the macppc platform. It is available in four different formats titled INSTALL.ext, where .ext is one of .ps, .html, .more, or .txt: .ps PostScript. .html Standard Internet HTML. .more The enhanced text format used on UNIX -like systems by the more(1) and less(1) pager utility programs. This is the format in which the on-line man pages are generally pre- sented. .txt Plain old ASCII. You are reading the ASCII version. Quick install notes for the impatient This section contains some brief notes describing what you need to install NetBSD 3.0.3 on a machine of the macppc architecture. o Fetch the files necessary to boot your system. The files depend on what model you are using and how you plan to boot your machine. For systems with built-in floppy drives (Open Firmware 1 or 2), fetch the pair of boot floppy images macppc/installation/floppy/boot1.fs and macppc/installation/floppy/boot2.fs, which include the bootloader and installation kernel. For systems without floppy drives (most are Open Firmware 3), fetch the bootloader macppc/installation/ofwboot.xcf and the installation kernel macppc/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz. If you have a CD-R, you can fetch the CD image, macppccd.iso. Alternatively, you may netboot the installation kernel. This process is covered below, in detail. o The actual binary distribution is in the macppc/binary/sets/ direc- tory. When you boot the install kernel from floppies, hard drive, or CD-ROM, the installation program can fetch these files for you (using e.g. ftp), if you have a network connection. There are several other methods to get the binary sets onto your machine. You will at a minimum need the following sets: kern-GENERIC.tgz, base.tgz and etc.tgz. In a typical workstation installation you will probably want all the installation sets. o If your macppc has a floppy drive, create the pair of boot floppies using suntar (MacOS 9), rawrite (Windows), or dd (any UNIX -like sys- tem with floppy support). If your system has Open Firmware 3, drag ofwboot.xcf and netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz to your hard drive icon (the top level of the drive, not the desktop). If you are using the CD image, burn it now. The disk(s) you just prepared will be used to boot the installation kernel, which contains all the tools required to install NetBSD. o Determine your machine's model, quirks, and Open Firmware version from the NetBSD/macppc Model Support webpage. http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/models.html At present, NetBSD/macppc cannot exist on the same hard drive as Mac OS unless you partition your disk before running the installer. Open Firmware versions prior to 3 require a dedicated NetBSD drive -- you must use the entire disk, partitioned with the installation tools. Open Firmware version 3 cannot boot into NetBSD on a drive parti- tioned with the installation tools, you must partition your disk before running the installer, then select the ``Re-install sets or install additional sets'' option in the installer (selecting the ``Install NetBSD to hard disk'' or ``Upgrade NetBSD on a hard disk'' options will render your drive unbootable). If you are unsure, you may want to read the section below on Partitioning your hard drive for NetBSD o For systems with Open Firmware versions prior to 3, you may need to use Apple's System Disk utility to enter Open Firmware and use your screen and keyboard. To enter Open Firmware, hold down the COMMAND-OPTION-O-F keys after the boot chime starts, but before the chime ends. Entering Open Firmware versions prior to 3 is usually the most frustrating part of installation -- you may want to read the section below on Older Open Firmware System Preparation You should have the Open Firmware ``0 '' prompt on your screen before attempting to boot NetBSD/macppc. o At the Open Firmware prompt, type the command to boot. To boot from the installation floppies, the command is ``boot fd:0''. For the install kernel and bootloader on your hard drive (Open Firmware 3), the command is ``boot hd:,\ofwboot.xcf netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz''. For boot CDs, the command is something like ``boot cd:,\ofwboot.xcf netbsd.macppc'' (for Open Firmware 3) or ``boot scsi-int/sd@3:0 NETBSD.MACPPC'' (for earlier Open Firmware versions). You will need to use the correct case for OFWBOOT.XCF and NETBSD.MACPPC depending on how your version of Open Firmware interprets the ISO file system. You may need to replace cd with scsi/sd@3 , scsi-int/sd@3 , ata/atapi-disk , or some other device alias. You should also use the Open Firmware dir command to confirm that the NetBSD/macppc kernel is called NETBSD.MACPPC. You may want to read the section below on Open Firmware boot syntax o For third-party programs which are not part of the base NetBSD dis- tribution, you will want to explore the pkgsrc system with its more than 5400 program packages. What is NetBSD? The NetBSD Operating System is a fully functional Open Source UNIX -like operating system derived from the University of California, Berkeley Net- working Release 2 (Net/2), 4.4BSD-Lite, and 4.4BSD-Lite2 sources. NetBSD runs on fifty four different system architectures (ports), featuring sev- enteen machine architectures across fifteen distinct CPU families, and is being ported to more. The NetBSD 3.0.3 release contains complete binary releases for many different system architectures. (A few ports are not fully supported at this time and are thus not part of the binary distri- bution. 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 por- table, 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. Changes Between The NetBSD 3.0.2 and 3.0.3 updates The NetBSD 3.0.3 update is the third security/critical update of the NetBSD 3.0 release branch. This represents a selected subset of fixes deemed critical in nature for stability or security reasons. These fixes will also appear in future releases (NetBSD 3.2 etc), together with other less-critical fixes and feature enhancements. Specific updates are as follows: Supported devices o wd(4): fix broken Seagate drives ST3160021A and ST3160811A. Kernel o Don't accept a compressed vnd(4) image with block size 0 to avoid a kernel panic. Networking o Fix get-lease-hostnames option in dhcpd.conf(5) to make dhcpd(8) use the DNS hostname as the DHCP hostname given to the client. o Fix TCP window scaling in ipfilter(4). o Update BIND to version 9.3.2. File system o Prevent a kernel panic when creating snapshots on filesystems which use quota's. o Fix a coredump in dump(8) when using -X (filesystem internal snap- shots). o Fix a panic when one user has 65536 active vnodes on a quota-enabled file system. Security o Fix a buffer overflow in glob(3), which affected ftpd(8) and possibly other programs (SA2006-027). o X11: fix an integer overflow in the Render and DBE extensions (SA2007-002). o BIND: fix multiple Denial of Service vulnerabilities (SA2007-003). o Fix a buffer overflow in iso(4) which could potentially lead to a local root compromise (SA2007-004). o Fix an integer underflow in file(1) which could lead to an exploitable heap overflow. o X11: fix a number of possible memory corruptions due to integer over- flows (CVE 2007-1003, 1351, 1352, 1667). o Fix a denial of service vulnerability in racoon(8) which could allow an attacker to disrupt a connection between IPSec peers. o Disable processing or routing header type 0 (RH0) IPv6 packets since they can be used for DoS attacks (CVE-2007-2242). Provide a sysctl (net.inet6.ip6.rht0) to re-enable them. Note: the sysctl may be removed completely in future NetBSD releases. o Two veriexec(4) flaws have been fixed: users can no longer rename a file to a veriexec protected file or run unfingerprinted files at strict level two or above. o file(1) has been updated to version 4.21, including and integer underflow and an integer overflow fix (CVE-2007-1536 and CVE-2007-2799). Miscellaneous o Fix some problems with etcupdate(8) for upgrading. o Update time zoneinfo to tzdata2007f. o Set /etc/postfix/post-install mode 555 (executable) instead of 444. o passwd(1): display a message indicating who's password is being changed, to avoid confusion after su(1). o The /etc/daily, weekly, monthly and security scripts now use $TMPDIR instead of /tmp. alpha specific o Fix alignment problems causing regular panics on NetBSD/alpha and NetBSD/sparc. mac68k specific o Avoid a kernel panic before reboot. sparc specific o Fix alignment problems causing regular panics on NetBSD/alpha and NetBSD/sparc. Changes Between The NetBSD 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 updates The NetBSD 3.0.2 update is the second security/critical update of the NetBSD 3.0 release branch. This represents a selected subset of fixes deemed critical in nature for stability or security reasons. These fixes will also appear in future releases (NetBSD 3.1 etc), together with other less-critical fixes and feature enhancements. Specific updates are as follows: Kernel o Avoid a panic in page fault handling that could occer under low-mem- ory conditions. Networking o Changed the default sshd_config(8) to enable SSH version 2 only. o Don't accept TCP connections to broadcast addresses. File system o Fixed race condition in NFS renaming that could cause the renamed file to be deleted. Libraries o When a user is created, initialize the string of secondary groups to avoid it containing garbage when none is added. Security o Fixed a buffer overflow in the in-kernel PPP code share by ISDN PPP interfaces ippp(4) and pppoe(4) (SA2006-019). o X11: fixed an integer overflow in FreeType (SA2006-020). o Fixed a potential DoS attack with sendmail(8) (SA2006-017). o Fixed a DoS vulnerability in BIND (SA2006-022). o Fixed a RSA signature forgery in openssl(1) (SA2006-023). o X11: fixed a vulnerability in Adobe Type 1 font handling (SA2006-021). o Fixed a number of DoS vulnerabilities in openssl(1) (SA in prepara- tion, CVE entries: 2006-2937, 2940, 3738 and 4343). o Fixed a number of DoS vulnerabilities in sshd(8) (SA in preparation, CVE entries: 2006-4924 and 5051). Miscellaneous o Fixed cross-building from GCC 4.x hosts. amd64 specific o Make sure that the system reboots after a panic instead of halting. sparc specific o Disabled threading in named(8) on sparc and sparc64 to avoid a crash. mac68k specific o sysinst now newfs'es and mounts the target filesystem(s). Changes Between The NetBSD 3.0 release and 3.0.1 update The NetBSD 3.0.1 update is the first security/critical update of the NetBSD 3.0 release branch. This represents a selected subset of fixes deemed critical in nature for stability or security reasons. These fixes will also appear in future releases (NetBSD 3.1 etc), together with other less-critical fixes and feature enhancements. Specific updates are as follows: Kernel o Hold kernel_lock while calling systrace_exit(). o In systrace_make_msg(), sleep uninterruptibly while waiting for the response from the systrace daemon, so that the message protocol between the kernel and the daemon doesn't get out of sync. o RAIDframe: mark used spares as failed if they encounter IO errors. o wdc(4): after a reset don't wait for drives to come ready if there are no drives (fixes a 30s hang after resume). o Fix support in wd(4) for 1 and 2TB disks. o Fix a bug in the fragment cache which could cause kernel panics (SA2006-004). o Fix a crash caused by azalia(4) when a connection list has invalid NIDs. o aic(4): work around an rbus resource allocation problem so cards work again. o RAIDframe was erroneously re-initializing the Parity Stripe Status pool each time a new array was configured. This causes grief with things like 'vmstat -m' by causing it to loop. Make RAIDframe only initialize PSS bits once. o twe(4): fix a memory leak in the TWEIO_GET_PARAM ioctl. o Prevent system crashes caused by malformed ELF interpreters (SA2006-008). o usb(4): Allow a NULL pointer as argument to usb_get_next_event(), and don't allocate a "struct usb_event" on stack in usb_add_event(). o Check the "oldlen" argument to sysctl(2) before passing it to vslock(9). This prevents a local DOS (SA2006-013). o Use a pmatch(9) expression which should catch all present and future seagate drives larger than 200GB for the WD_QUIRK_FORCE_LBA48 quirks. o Fix the 'audioctl of death' problem (SA2006-014). o Limit the size of any kernel buffers allocated by the VOP_READDIR routines to MAXBSIZE. Networking o Make sure all bridge(4) structs are initialized to 0. o Fix a memory disclosure in bridge(4) (SA2006-005). o Use sigaction(2) to setup automatic disposal of child processes after daemonizing rpc.statd(8). This is more portable and avoids zombie rpc.statd(8) processes after an NFS client running e.g. Mac OS X shuts down. o Prevent system crash when attempting to gather information about a non-existing alias of a network interface via the SIOCGIFALIAS ioctl (SA2006-012). o Fix a panic caused by insufficient validation when parsing IPv6 socket options (SA2006-016). File system o Change union_unmount() to not play with the fs root vnode explicitly. Let it get recycled along with all of the others. This is important as if the root vnode has already been reclaimed, then we get a panic when we try to vget it. Libraries o xdr_rec.c missing a bugfix for an improper security check. The cor- rect way to check for a zero record length is to check for it without the LAST_FRAG marker in it, since it's legal to send a LAST_FRAG marker with 0 bytes of data. o pam_nologin(8): use the class of the user, not then default class, when checking for nologin and ignorelogin login.conf(5) capabilities. o pam_unix(8): fix an uninitialized variable, and remove some unreach- able code. o Make PAM work on NetBSD ports without shared library support. o Make password aging work again. o Fix a bug in signal handling which could e.g get the MySQL daemon stuck in a tight loop after receiving a HUP signal. Security o Improve rnd(4) code probing for the Intel hardware RNG to avoid false detections (SA2006-009). o mail(1) creates record file with insecure umask (SA2006-007). o Fix a remote code execution vulnerability in sendmail (SA2006-010). o A vulnerability was found in the fast_ipsec(4) stack that renders the IPSec anti-replay service ineffective under certain circumstances (SA2006-011). o Fix a number of small security problems with the games. o Fix an FPU Information leak on i386/amd64/Xen platforms with AMD CPUs (SA2006-015). o Fix several integer overflows and NULL-pointer dereferences in freetype2. o Fix a denial of service vulnerability in sendmail when handling mal- formed multipart MIME messages (SA2006-017). Miscellaneous o Sync the Nvidia drivers with XFree86's sources as of December 24th, 2005. These changes fix lots of problems (i.e. freezes) with the latest cards (such as a GeForce 6600GT). o Give systrace its own version of realpath() that does what it wants, call it intercept_realpath(). Unbreaks systrace. o login(1), pam_securetty(8): don't issue a different message for root login on an insecure terminal. o Fix some unpaired sigblocks which possibly leave a process with all signals blocked (esp. apparant under Gnome). o Fix a NULL pointer dereference in ftp(1). o Make sh(1) expand "$@" correctly again. acorn26 specific o Avoid panics under NetBSD/acorn26 whenever a process exits. o Stop NetBSD/acorn26 from allocating eight times as much pool memory as it needs, leading to a rapid exhaustion of physical memory. NetBSD/acorn26 now boots multi-user again. amiga specific o Installer: don't ask for the root device before the user had a chance to identify how it's called under NetBSD. hp300 specific o Fix the bootloader so it doesn't print garbage to the bitmap console. o Fix a huge number of pkgsrc build problems. o Fix boot failure problem on HP400t with fb console. o Fix a problem with the probe of SCSI disks in the installer. i386 specific o Update pciide at pnpbios to work with the last changes to wdc(4), especially the deferral of drive probe. m68k specific o Fix a huge number of pkgsrc build problems. mips specific o Avoid kernel panics caused by binaries compiled with "-mips2" or bet- ter. o Update FPE trapsignal functions for new siginfo. powerpc specific o Avoid pthreads program crashes. sparc specific o For GCC3 and later, use the __builtin_va* constructs. Avoids a build problem with Firefox. xen specific o Avoid dom0 kernel crash when destroying a domain with active I/O going. o Fix the FPU problems detected by paranoia on a NetBSD/Xen guest. o Check the destination ethernet address when not in promiscous mode. Fix a problem where packets would be duplicated, possibly looping, when a domU is doing IP routing. o Avoid panics under high system load. This is the fifth major release of NetBSD for the macppc platform, including the Apple eMac, iBook, iMac, PowerMacintosh, PowerBook, and Xserve models, as well as clones. NetBSD 3.0.3 on macppc is, as usual, also fully backward compatible with old NetBSD/macppc binaries, so you don't need to recompile all your local programs provided you set the appropriate binary compatibility options in your kernel configuration. 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 com- puter 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: o providing better organization to keep track of development efforts, including co-ordination with groups working in related fields. o providing a framework to receive donations of goods and services and to own the resources necessary to run the NetBSD Project. o providing a better position from which to undertake promotional activities. o periodically organizing workshops for developers and other interested people to discuss ongoing work. We intend to begin narrowing the time delay between releases. Our ambi- tion 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 sub- mit 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. Sources of NetBSD Refer to .: http://www.NetBSD.org/mirrors/ NetBSD 3.0.3 Release Contents The root directory of the NetBSD 3.0.3 release is organized as follows: .../NetBSD-3.0.3/ CHANGES Changes since earlier NetBSD releases. LAST_MINUTE Last minute changes. MIRRORS A list of sites that mirror the NetBSD 3.0.3 distribution. README.files README describing the distribution's contents. TODO NetBSD 's todo list (also somewhat incomplete and out of date). 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 NetBSD 3.0.3 has a binary distribution. 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. 79 MB gzipped, 367 MB uncompressed pkgsrc This set contains the ``pkgsrc'' sources, which contain the in- frastructure to build third-party packages. 24 MB gzipped, 200 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. 5 MB gzipped, 20 MB uncompressed src This set contains all of the base NetBSD 3.0.3 sources which are not in gnusrc, sharesrc, or syssrc. 37 MB gzipped, 176 MB uncompressed syssrc This set contains the sources to the NetBSD 3.0.3 kernel for all architectures; config(8); and dbsym(8). 26 MB gzipped, 140 MB uncompressed xsrc This set contains the sources to the X Window System. 84 MB gzipped, 450 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. Except for the pkgsrc set, which is traditionally unpacked into /usr/pkgsrc, all sets may be unpacked into /usr/src with the command: # ( cd / ; tar -zxpf - ) set_name.tgz 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 ATT 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 pos- sible range of system can check the integrity of the release files. NetBSD/macppc subdirectory structure The macppc-specific portion of the NetBSD 3.0.3 release is found in the macppc subdirectory of the distribution: .../NetBSD-3.0.3/macppc/. It contains the following files and directories: INSTALL.html INSTALL.ps INSTALL.txt INSTALL.more Installation notes in various file formats, including this file. The .more file contains underlined text using the more(1) conventions for indicating italic and bold display. binary/ kernel/ netbsd-GENERIC.gz A gzipped NetBSD kernel containing code for everything supported in this release. netbsd-GENERIC.MP.gz A gzipped NetBSD kernel containing code for everything supported in this release. This kernel also supports SMP on systems with more than one CPU. netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz A gzipped NetBSD kernel containing code for everything supported in this release. It also has a RAM-disk installer. This is the kernel you should use when you want to install via netboot, from a CD-R, or an HFS parti- tion on Open Firmware 3 systems. netbsd-INSTALL.gz A gzipped NetBSD kernel containing code only for Open Firmware 1.0.5, 1.1.22, 2.0.x, and 2.4 systems (i.e. those that have floppy drives). It has a RAM-disk installer. sets/ macppc binary distribution sets; see below. installation/ floppy/boot1.fs floppy/boot2.fs macppc boot and installation floppy images. The first is the bootloader and kernel. The second image has the installation tools. Only usable on models that ship with a floppy drive (pre-Open Firmware 3); see below. ofwboot.xcf macppc bootloader; see below. Binary distribution sets The NetBSD macppc binary distribution sets contain the binaries which comprise the NetBSD 3.0.3 release for the macppc. The binary distribu- tion sets can be found in the macppc/binary/sets subdirectory of the NetBSD 3.0.3 distribution tree, and are as follows: base The NetBSD 3.0.3 macppc 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 mini- mally functional. It includes shared library support, and excludes everything described below. 19 MB gzipped, 53 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. 23 MB gzipped, 83 MB uncompressed etc This distribution set contains the system configuration files that reside in /etc and in several other places.

These sources are based on XFree86, and tightly track XFree86 releases. They are currently equivalent to XFree86 4.4.0. Binary sets for the X Window System are distributed with NetBSD. The sets are: xbase The basic files needed for a complete X client environment. This does not include the X servers. 7 MB gzipped, 19 MB uncompressed xcomp The extra libraries and include files needed to compile X source code. 13 MB gzipped, 44 MB uncompressed xfont Fonts needed by X. 31 MB gzipped, 39 MB uncompressed xetc Configuration files for X which could be locally modified. 0.03 MB gzipped, 0.17 MB uncompressed xserver The X server. This includes both the XFree86 and Xmacppc servers. The XFree86 server supports acceleration, switchable resolutions and bit-depths. This server supports only known video cards, such as ATI and Nvidia and can be difficult to configure. The Xmacppc server supports all on-board video and Open Firmware-compatible video cards. Acceleration and depths greater than 256 colors are not supported. See the X11 FAQ for help using X on macppc systems. http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/x11.html 10 MB gzipped, 27 MB uncompressed The macppc 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 filenames stored in the sets are relative and therefore the files are extracted below the current directory. Therefore, 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 root directory ( / ) of your system. This utility is used only in a Traditional method installation. Note: Each directory in the macppc binary distribution also has its own checksum files, just as the source distribution does. NetBSD/macppc System Requirements and Supported Devices Currently, NetBSD/macppc requires the use of Open Firmware to boot. Open Firmware is a command environment using the FORTH language. The NetBSD kernel uses Open Firmware to gather information about your system and to control some of your devices. It is part of the boot ROMs in most PowerPC-based Macintosh systems. Until late 1996, Apple never intended to use Open Firmware for anything other than internal debugging and hard- ware support. It was not intended to be used to boot an operating sys- tem. This is why earlier machines have so much trouble with Open Firmware. This also means that PowerMacs and clones that lack Open Firmware cannot boot NetBSD on the macppc platform. Most machines intro- duced by Apple and the clone-makers after August 17, 1995 have Open Firmware and are supported. Apple made several revisions of this Open Firmware environment, and each has various quirks and problems that we must work around. The single hardest step of installing NetBSD/macppc is to set up Open Firmware prop- erly. Open Firmware versions 1.0.5 and 2.0.x act similarly and the same set of instructions applies to them. Open Firmware version 2.4 is slightly different with regards to booting. Open Firmware version 3 is altogether different, but easier to set up for NetBSD. At present, NetBSD/macppc does not support the PPC 601 microprocessor, which means that the PowerMacintosh 7200 and 7500 models are not sup- ported. The PowerMacintosh 7500 may be upgraded to a PPC 604, G3 or G4 microprocessor via a daughtercard replacement, in which case NetBSD will run on this system. The minimal configuration requires 16 MB of RAM and ~80 MB of disk space. To install the entire system requires 200 MB plus space for the swap par- tition (usually the RAM size, unless you've got a lot of RAM). To install X, an additional 60 MB disk space is required, as is more RAM (at least 32 MB). NetBSD with 16 MB of RAM is very slow. Until you have around 32 MB of RAM, getting more RAM is more important than getting a faster CPU. Supported models Find your model from the list below and take note of its Open Firmware version: Open Firmware 1.0.5 o Apple PowerMacintosh (7300, 7500 (with CPU upgrade), 7600, 8500, 8600, 9500, and 9600) o Apple Workgroup Server 8550 o Power Computing (PowerCenter, PowerCenter Pro, PowerCurve, PowerTower, PowerTower Pro, and PowerWave) o UMAX (J700, S900) Open Firmware 1.1.22 o Apple Network Server (500 and 700) Note: Users have reported that the NetBSD kernel does not work well with the on-board MACE-based ethernet (the one that requires an Apple AAUI dongle).

Also, the video card that shipped with the PowerMac- intosh 9500/150, 9500/180, and 9500/200 systems is reported to have the same problem. - PCI frame buffers which have Open Firmware support (ATI, IMS, Matrox, and NVIDIA have several models which work) o Audio - On-board audio on most models (awacs) Note: This driver has only recently been introduced and is considered ``experimental'' meaning that it may cause your system to crash and/or is lacking some features you may expect. Due to interrupt conflicts with some G4 models, this driver is disabled by default and you will need to build a kernel with it enabled. - USB audio devices (uaudio) - PCI audio cards, although only the Ensoniq AudioPCI (eap) has been thoroughly tested o Serial ports NetBSD/macppcrefers to the on-board serial ports as (tty00) and (tty01). Firmware uses the names listed below. - On-board serial ports (the modem and printer ports) (ttya and ttyb) ttya is the mini-DIN 8 serial port with the `Modem' icon, and ttyb is has the `Printer' icon. Some models with internal modems have the serial port with the `Modem' icon covered over, and the modem is ttya. Note: The on-board serial ports can be used for console (38400 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no hand- shaking), although many users have reported problems trying to run ppp or other high speed serial appli- cations - The Xserve serial port. Note: This serial port can be used for console (57600 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no handshaking). Use (scca) for the Open Firmware `input-device' and `output-device' variables. Alternatively, if you remove your video card, Open Firmware will default to using the serial port for the console. - The Gee Three Stealth Serial Port, possibly the Griffin Technology gPort Note: These serial ports can be used for console (57600 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no handshaking). Use (scca) for the Open Firmware `input-device' and `output-device' variables. - Some USB, PCI, and Cardbus serial ports should work, but no one has tried them o USB devices - Most MI USB devices should work (such as disks, printers, input devices, SCSI adapters, and ethernet interfaces) http://www.NetBSD.org/Hardware/usb.html o PCMCIA and Cardbus cards - Most MI PCMCIA and Cardbus cards should work, although very few have been tested with NetBSD/macppc http://www.NetBSD.org/Hardware/cardbus.html http://www.NetBSD.org/Hardware/pcmcia.html o PCI cards - Most MI PCI cards should work, although very few have been tested with NetBSD/macppc http://www.NetBSD.org/Hardware/pci.html Note: While the NetBSD kernel may support the various Cardbus, PCI, PCMCIA, and USB devices you may have, Open Firmware does not unless it has a specific Open Firmware ROM. This means you cannot boot from these devices. Some Adaptec SCSI controllers have bootable Open Firmware ROMs. Unsupported devices o Floppy disk Note: Though NetBSD/macppc can boot from a floppy, there is no kernel support yet o FireWire (IEEE 1394) o Advanced power management (cannot put system to `sleep') o Full wscons capabilities, such as virtual terminals and color text o On-board video capture o AirPort Extreme Supported boot devices and media Each version of Open Firmware supports different devices and media that you may boot from. We define the terms ``bootable media'' as the media (hard drive, floppy, CD-R, ethernet) that will be used to bootstrap your macppc system into NetBSD, and ``distribution sets'' or ``distribution media'' as the media (hard drive, CD-R, ethernet) that contains the files that will be installed to generate a working NetBSD system onto your des- tination media. Go to the NetBSD/macppc Model Support webpage and look up your system. Take note of the comments about your model and keep these in mind during the rest of this installation procedure. http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/models.html Getting the NetBSD System on to Useful Media You should wait to decide where to put the NetBSD distribution sets until you have figured out how you are going to boot your system. Refer back to this section after you have done so. Note: Some Mac OS ftp clients default to downloading files in `ASCII' mode. This will render the NetBSD files useless. Make sure to set your ftp program to download in `binary' mode. Note that if you are installing or upgrading from a writable media, the media can be write-protected if you wish. These systems mount a root image from inside the kernel, and will not need to write to the media. If you booted from a floppy, the floppy disk may be removed from the drive after the system has booted. Installation is supported from several media types, including: o CD-ROM / DVD o FTP o Remote NFS partition o Existing NetBSD or MacOS X UFS partitions, if performing an upgrade The steps necessary to prepare the distribution sets for installation depend upon which installation medium you choose. The steps for the var- ious media are outlined below. CD-ROM / DVD Find out where the distribution set files are on the CD- ROM or DVD. Likely locations are binary/sets and macppc/binary/sets. Proceed to the instruction on installation. FTP The preparations for this installation/upgrade method are easy; all you need to do is make sure that there's an FTP site from which you can retrieve the NetBSD distribution when you're about to install or upgrade. If you don't have DHCP available on your network, you will need to know the numeric IP address of that site, and, if it's not on a network directly connected to the machine on which you're installing or upgrading NetBSD, you need to know the numeric IP address of the router closest to the NetBSD machine. Finally, you need to know the numeric IP address of the NetBSD machine itself. If you don't have access to a functioning nameserver during installation, the IPv4 address of ftp.NetBSD.org is 204.152.184.75 and the IPv6 address is 2001:4f8:4:7:2e0:81ff:fe21:6563 (as of June, 2004). Once you have this information, you can proceed to the next step in the installation or upgrade process. If you're installing NetBSD from scratch, go to the section on preparing your hard disk, below. If you're upgrading an existing installation, go directly to the section on upgrading. Note: This method of installation is recommended for those familiar with using BSD network configuration and management commands. If you aren't, this docu- mentation should help, but is not intended to be all-encompassing. NFS Place the NetBSD distribution sets you wish to install into a directory on an NFS server, and make that directory mountable by the machine on which you are installing or upgrading NetBSD. This will probably require modifying the /etc/exports file on of the NFS server and resetting its mount daemon (mountd). (Both of these actions will probably require superuser privileges on the server.) You need to know the numeric IP address of the NFS server, and, if you don't have DHCP available on your network and the server is not on a network directly connected to the machine on which you're installing or upgrading NetBSD, you need to know the numeric IP address of the router closest to the NetBSD machine. Finally, you need to know the numeric IP address of the NetBSD machine itself. Once the NFS server is set up properly and you have the information mentioned above, you can proceed to the next step in the installation or upgrade process. If you're installing NetBSD from scratch, go to the section on pre- paring your hard disk, below. If you're upgrading an existing installation, go directly to the section on upgrading. Note: This method of installation is recommended for those already familiar with using BSD network con- figuration and management commands. If you aren't, this documentation should help, but is not intended to be all-encompassing. Preparing your System for NetBSD installation Prepare yourself Take a deep breath. Good. Now, make sure you are reading the PDF (if available), PostScript, or HTML version of this document, as the .txt and .more versions lack important formatting information that will prevent you from following the twisted path you must follow. OK, good. Now, print out this document. While it's printing, get some coffee, relax a bit, and mentally prepare yourself for something that promises to be confusing, frustrating, and annoying. If you assume the worst, you'll be pleasantly surprised when everything works easier than you expected. Also, forget everything you've been told about installing NetBSD/macppc. That's right, flush your knowledge cache -- some of it is almost certainly dirty. Some of this document assumes familiarity with MacOS, e.g. how to down- load BinHex files and extract things with StuffIt Expander. If you've never heard of those terms before, it is possible to install NetBSD/macppc without booting or knowing how to use MacOS, but depending on your model it may be almost as painful as learning a little MacOS. See the FAQ for more help: http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/faq.html#macos-newbie It's done printing? Fine, time to get started. The recommended installation procedure is as follows: 1. Go to the NetBSD/macppc model support page and look up your model information and issues (I can't stress this enough times). http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/models.html 2. Spend about 15 minutes and read through this document from this point onward. There will be many pages of instructions that apply to Open Firmware versions that you do not have. Throw them out. Do not read them -- at best you will be confused, at worst you may dam- age your system requiring repairs. 3. Now create your bootable media and media for the distribution sets. 4. Prepare your machine, depending on the instructions for your model (for example: partition your drive, download and run System Disk, or hook up a serial console). 5. Boot into Open Firmware, and verify that it has the version of Open Firmware you think it does. Also make sure that the other variables are set correctly. 6. Figure out the correct boot command, and boot your machine from the bootable media you just created. If you're having trouble, be sure to read the section on Common Problems and Error Messages 7. Celebrate! The worst is over, but you've still got some work to do. Take a break, maybe more coffee, maybe a quick walk around the block, whatever turns your fancy. 8. Now use the installer to install the distribution sets onto your system and do some initial configurations. 9. Figure out how to boot from the installed partition. Boot into NetBSD for the first time. 10. You may then boot into Open Firmware and set it to always boot your favorite operating system. 11. Configure to your preferences, install your favorite packages, and have fun with your new NetBSD/macppc machine! Note: You really actually truly do need to follow the procedure listed in this document in the order that we describe. These systems are rather tricky to boot for the novice and expert alike. Once you cross off the sections that don't apply to you, it will make more sense. Note: If the instructions in a subsection below do not apply to all ver- sions of Open Firmware, there will be a line listing which ver- sions of Open Firmware they apply to, such as: (Open Firmware 1.0.5, Open Firmware 1.1.22, Open Firmware 2.0.x, Open Firmware 2.4, Open Firmware 3) If you do not have an Open Firmware 3 system, skip down to Preparing your Open Firmware 1.x or 2.x System for NetBSD Preparing your Open Firmware 3 System for NetBSD Updating your BootROM Open Firmware 3 systems have a rewritable ``firmware'', also called the BootROM. When you use an Apple firmware updater, it updates the BootROM. This will not change the version of Open Firmware in your machine -- it will still be Open Firmware 3. The BootROM is what is first executed when you power on or reset your system. The BootROM then loads Open Firmware, which boots your operating system. Go to the `Apple Software Downloads' web site at http://www.info.apple.com/support/downloads.html and search for `firmware' and install the most recent version for your model. For most G3 and G4 models, you will need to run the FirmWare updater from MacOS 9. Note: If you accidentally change the load-base or real-base Open Firmware variables and reset your machine you will, in effect, re- write the BootROM with garbage. This will permanently damage your machine. We recommend not doing this. Note: The most recent BootROMs available (4.1.7 and later) are a little picky about RAM. Initially, some PowerMacintosh G3 users found that their third-party RAM had been disabled, but the RAM vendors brought their RAM up to spec and it hasn't been much of an issue since then. There is one report that FirmWare Update 4.1.9 on iMac (Summer 2000) will prevent the CD-ROM and the hard drive from operating together. You may get wdc0:0:1: lost interrupt problems. Getting to Open Firmware 3 Hold down a special four-key combination when your system boots. After the chime starts, but before it stops, hold down the four COMMAND-OPTION-O-F keys (the COMMAND key looks like a four-leaf clover or an open apple, and the OPTION key may look like a two-way switch with four straight line segments or say ALT) until you see the Open Firmware command prompt on your screen: Apple PowerBook3,1 2.1f1 BootROM built on 01/29/00 at 22:38:07 Copyright 1994-2000 Apple Computer, Inc. All Rights Reserved Welcome to Open Firmware. To continue booting, type "mac-boot" and press return. To shut down, type "shut-down" and press return. ok 0 Now, set your system to always stop at the Open Firmware prompt. 0 setenv auto-boot? false Alternatively, if you are currently running MacOS X or Darwin, you can use the nvram command to set this variable before rebooting. # nvram auto-boot\?=false You will need to escape the question-mark or enclose the whole nvram argument in double-quotes to prevent your shell from trying to interpret it. Setting up Open Firmware 3 to boot NetBSD This section describes some steps you must take to prepare Open Firmware to boot NetBSD. Additional resources are available in the FAQ regarding how to use the Open Firmware command environment, and the Open Firmware variables you may be using: http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/faq.html#ofw-access http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/faq.html#ofw-variables Double-check your Open Firmware version: 0 dev /openprom 0 .properties name openprom device_type BootROM model OpenFirmware 3 relative-addressing supports-bootinfo ok If you will be netbooting your system, you can look up your MAC address. 0 dev enet 0 .properties [...] local-mac-address CCCCCCCC CCCC [...] Note: Some Open Firmware 3 machines have their MAC address stored incor- rectly (little- vs. big-endian problem). If you look up your MAC address in MacOS, it will be different than what Open Firmware 3 uses to contact your netboot server. Your machine will still work, but its MAC address may conflict with another ethernet device on your network. You can check your Open Firmware settings with the printenv command: 0 printenv -------------- Partition: common -------- Signature: 0x70 --------------- little-endian? false false real-mode? false false auto-boot? false true diag-switch? false false [...] use-nvramrc? true false real-base -1 -1 [...] input-device keyboard keyboard output-device screen screen Available Boot Media Open Firmware is capable of booting from a variety of media (such as hard drives, CD-ROMs, and ethernet). Open Firmware is able to boot files from a variety of file systems (such as ISO9660, HFS, HFS+, and MS-DOS FAT). Unfortunately, Open Firmware is not able to directly boot from the NetBSD file system (FFS) or Apple's new BSD-based file system (UFS), so we must put the bootloader in a location that Open Firmware is capable of under- standing. Therefore, to boot the NetBSD kernel, Open Firmware must first load a `bootloader' (ofwboot.xcf) which knows how to load the NetBSD kernel. Note: ofwboot.elf is obsoleted. All users should be using ofwboot.xcf instead of ofwboot.elf now. The following bootable media are available for loading the bootloader: o HFS or HFS+ file system This method loads ofwboot.xcf from an HFS or HFS+ partition which then loads the kernel from an acceptable location. The kernel (compressed or non-compressed) may be on an HFS or HFS+ partition. Due to Open Firmware pickiness, it must be on the same partition as ofwboot.xcf. o MS-DOS file system In this method, Open Firmware loads the ofwboot.xcf bootloader from an MS-DOS file system. It may then load a NetBSD kernel from the same MS-DOS file system. This has only been thor- oughly tested on floppy disks, but may work on Zip disks or FDISK-formatted hard drives. This does not work for MS-DOS partitions on a hard drive with an Apple Partition Map. o Ethernet (network boot) You can run your entire system diskless or netboot only the files necessary to boot (i.e. the bootloader and the installa- tion kernel). You must have root access for the UNIX -like netboot server, which must be on the same subnet as your NetBSD/macppc machine. Note: You must use your on-board ethernet device for netboot- ing. While there may be some PCI or Cardbus ethernet interfaces with Open Firmware ROMs, no one has reported success netbooting using these devices o Hybrid HFS/ISO9660 CD-ROM file system Load the ofwboot.xcf bootloader from the CD-ROM's HFS file sys- tem. It can then load a NetBSD kernel from the HFS or ISO9660 file system. Make sure that the CD has an Apple Partition Map. Note: Open Firmware can only open files on the first session of a multi-session CD-R Once the bootloader is loaded, it can open the kernel from one of the following sources: o Ethernet (NFS) o NetBSD FFS file system o MacOS X UFS file system o HFS or HFS+ file system o ISO9660 CD-ROM file system o MS-DOS file system The boot CD-R images provided with the distribution sets has both a `partition zero' bootloader and ofwboot.xcf on a hybrid partition so it can be booted on all Open Firmware versions. It also has an ISO9660 file system with an installation kernel and the distribution sets. Partitioning your hard drive for NetBSD You must have at least one disk that was partitioned before running the NetBSD installer. This is the drive that will have the bootloader, ofwboot.xcf. Your NetBSD partitions may either be on this same disk (using the method described in the rest of this section), or on a separate disk accessible only to NetBSD. This section describes how to make a single disk usable by both MacOS and NetBSD -- this is necessary for machines which have only one hard drive (such as the eMac, iBook, iMac, PowerBook, and PowerMacintosh Cube sys- tems). If you do not want MacOS you must still follow this procedure, but create only a small HFS+ partition (large enough for the bootloader). There are two partitioning tools available for NetBSD/macppc, disklabel(8) and pdisk(8). The former is used in the NetBSD sysinst installer, and will render your disk unusable by MacOS. It will also prevent Open Firmware 3 machines from booting from that disk. When run- ning the installer, you will need to use the installer's ``Re-install sets'' option to skip the disklabel step. Do not use disklabel or ``Re-install sets'' unless you will use one drive for NetBSD only and have another drive which will have the bootloader. The process is more fully detailed in the Partitioning HOW-TO: http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/partitioning.html You can create a partition map with pdisk(8), but the disk will not be usable with MacOS 9 and earlier. If this is a concern, you will need to use Apple's Drive Setup or Disk Utility. If you are using Apple's Drive Setup tool, make sure you have version 1.8.1 or later. This tool only runs under MacOS 9 and earlier. Drive Setup will erase the contents of your drive -- it does not preserve data from any of your partitions. Apple's Disk Utility only runs under MacOS X 10.0.0 and later. Make sure you click the ``Install Mac OS 9 Disk Drivers'' checkbox. Also, keep in mind that Disk Utility does not create the partitions that NetBSD/macppc requires. After creating the initial partition map with Disk Utility, you will need to use the NetBSD pdisk to change the partition types. Also, Disk Utility will erase the contents of your drive -- it does not preserve data from any of your partitions. pdisk is the most flexible (and most difficult to use) partitioning tool available. It runs on almost all OSes that macppc machines support. Download it: ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/macppc/netbsd-pdisk/ ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/macppc/macos-utils/pdisk.sea.hqx There is built-in help describing how it works. When it asks you to enter the ``Type of partition'', use Apple_UNIX_SVR2 for NetBSD parti- tions, Apple_HFS for HFS and HFS+ partitions, and Apple_UFS for UFS par- titions. After you've written the partition map with pdisk, you will need to cre- ate the file systems. Use newfs(8) and mount(8) for NetBSD file systems, and hfstools to create and mount HFS file systems. ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/sysutils/hfsutils/README.html Make the following partitions: HFS or HFS+ Must be large enough to hold the boot- loader, over 100 KB. May be as large as you desire for MacOS usage. A/UX Root Must be at least 20 MB. Alternatively, you may decide to use one partition for your entire NetBSD installation, in which case it should be at least 200 MB without X, or 260 MB with X. NetBSD interprets an A/UX Root partition as the first par- tition (a) on the disk. This partition is not readable from MacOS. A/UX Swap Any size. The recommendation is your RAM size, although this is not strictly nec- essary for machines with a lot of RAM. NetBSD interprets an A/UX Swap partition as the second partition (b) on the disk. This partition is not readable from MacOS. A/UX User and A/UX Free1 Use these for any additional partitions you may want to use under NetBSD, such as /usr (at least 200 MB), /home, /usr/local, or /usr/pkg. NetBSD inter- prets these partitions as normal NetBSD -style partitions. These partitions are not readable from MacOS. HFS Any size. You may want to leave an addi- tional partition available to transfer files between MacOS and NetBSD. If would like to create such a partition, then see the Partitioning HOW-TO. http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/partitioning.html#msdos UFS Any size. UFS partitions are not read- able from MacOS versions prior to X 10.0.0. If you use an UFS partition as your root, then it may not be recognized by the NetBSD kernel as the first parti- tion (a) on the disk. You will need to compile a new kernel with the root parti- tion explicitly defined to be the UFS partition. Now would be a good time to use pdisk to determine the partition numbers for your bootloader and kernel. Preparing the Open Firmware 3 Bootable Media The purpose of this section is to prepare the media from which your sys- tem will boot the installer. We'll describe how to put the files in the right places on your disk(s) or netboot server and prepare it for use on your system. If you will be running your system diskless (i.e. entirely over NFS, not using any local hard drives), then you do not need to run the installer, you only need to extract the distribution sets on the diskless server. To get the distribution sets onto appropriate media, see the above sec- tion entitled Getting the NetBSD System on to Useful Media. You may want to get the distribution sets when you create the bootable media. Note: Some MacOS ftp clients default to downloading files in `ASCII' mode. This will render the NetBSD files useless. Make sure to set your ftp program to download in `binary' mode. What follows are the steps to create different types of bootable media for the NetBSD install kernel. You should only need to create one of these to get your system to boot the installer o Creating the NetBSD/macppc CD-R Go to one of the NetBSD mirror sites and download the CD-R image macppccd.iso from the pub/NetBSD/iso directory. http://www.NetBSD.org/mirrors/#iso - From an UNIX-like machine Get and install cdrecord. NetBSD users should install it from the package collection. Other UNIX -like systems should get it from the official website: ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrecord/README.html http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdrecord.html # cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=/dev/cd1c macppccd.iso You will need to substitute the correct name of the disk image file, speed for your CD writer, and the correct device for your system (for i386 it would be /dev/cd1d). - From a MacOS machine (using Toast) 1. Click the `Other' button in the main window. 2. Open the contextual menu on the `Other' button and select `Disk Image' 3. Click the `Select' button and select the disk image you downloaded. 4. Click the `Record' button Skip forward to Installing the NetBSD System o Preparing an HFS or HFS+ partition Place ofwboot.xcf and the installation kernel netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz at the top level of your Macintosh file system. That is, drag the two icons onto your hard drive icon (not the desktop). Make sure they're both on the same partition. Skip forward to Installing the NetBSD System o Preparing a custom hybrid HFS/ISO9660 CD-R This section describes how to create your own bootable NetBSD/macppc CD-R. We recommend that you use the official NetBSD/macppc-3.0.3 CD-R image, as described in the section above. Place ofwboot.xcf and the installation kernel netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz at the top level of the CD. Make sure that the bootloader is present on the HFS partition, and the kernel is on both the ISO9660 and HFS par- titions. Due to restrictions in the way that Open Firmware deals with ISO filenames, you may wish to name your kernel netbsd.gz. You may also place the NetBSD 3.0.3 distribution sets on the ISO9660 par- tition (not only on the HFS partition). - From an UNIX-like machine Get and install mkisofs. This is now part of the cdrecord pack- age. NetBSD users should install it from the package collection. Other UNIX -like systems should get it from the official website: ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrecord/README.html http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdrecord.html # mkisofs -o output.iso -hfs -part -l -J -r -L -N /cdsources # cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=/dev/cd1c output.iso You will need to substitute the correct speed for your CD writer, and the correct device for your system (for i386 it would be /dev/cd1d). See the NetBSD Bootable CD-ROM HOW-TO for more detail: http://www.NetBSD.org/Documentation/bootcd.html - From a MacOS machine (using Toast) 1. Click the `Data' button in the main window 2. Pick `Mac OS and PC (Hybrid) CD' from the popup menu between the four buttons and the file and folder area. 3. Drag installation/ofwboot.xcf and binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz into the window. You may also want to drag the NetBSD 3.0.3 distribution sets to this window as well. 4. Click the `Record' button Skip forward to Installing the NetBSD System o Creating an MS-DOS disk Open Firmware 3 cannot boot from a floppy disk, but you can still create a bootable Zip disk with this method. 1. First, make sure you have done a low-level format on the disk. A bad disk can produce Open Firmware errors similar to other problems. 2. Mount the disk on your computer. - Insert it into a Windows or DOS machine. - Use `File Exchange or `PC Exchange'' with MacOS versions prior to X 10.0.0 - Use mount_msdos(8) on any UNIX -like machine. 3. Copy netbsd-INSTALL.gz and ofwboot.xcf to the disk. 4. Rename netbsd-INSTALL.gz to netbsd.gz, since OpenFirmware can't deal with MS-DOS filenames longer than eight characters. Skip forward to Installing the NetBSD System o Preparing the netboot server 1. Introduction To netboot a macppc, you must configure one or more servers to provide information and files to your macppc (the `client ).' If you are using NetBSD (any architecture) on your netboot server(s), the information provided here should be sufficient to configure everything. Additionally, you may wish to look at the diskless(8) manual page and the manual pages for each daemon you'll be configuring. If the server(s) are another operating system, you should consult the NetBSD Diskless HOW-TO, which will walk you through the steps necessary to configure the net- boot services on a variety of platforms. http://www.NetBSD.org/Documentation/network/netboot/ You may either netboot the installer so you can install onto a locally attached disk, or you may run your system entirely over the network. Briefly, the netboot process involves discovery, bootstrap, ker- nel and file system stages. In the first stage, the client dis- covers information about where to find the bootstrap program. Next, it downloads and executes the bootstrap program. The bootstrap program goes through another discovery phase to deter- mine where the kernel is located. The bootstrap program tries to mount the NFS share containing the kernel. Once the kernel is loaded, it starts executing. For RAM disk kernels, it mounts the RAM disk file system and begins executing the installer from the RAM disk. For normal (non-RAM disk) kernels, the kernel tries to mount the NFS share that had the kernel and starts exe- cuting the installation tools or init(8). All macppc systems use BOOTP for the discovery stage. TFTP is used in the boot- strap phase to download the bootstrap program, ofwboot.xcf. NFS is used in both the kernel and file system stages to download the kernel, and to access files on the file server. We will use `CC:CC:CC:CC:CC:CC' as the MAC address (ethernet hardware address) of your netboot client machine. You should have determined this address in an earlier stage. In this exam- ple, we will use `192.168.1.10' as the IP address of your client and `client.test.net' as its name. We will assume you're pro- viding all of your netboot services on one machine called `server.test.net' with the client's files exported from the directory /export/client/root. You should, of course, replace all of these with the names, addresses, and paths appropriate to your environment. You should set up each netboot stage in order (i.e. discovery, bootstrap, kernel, and then file system) so that you can test them as you proceed. 2. dhcpd(8) in bootpd(8) compatible mode Put the following lines in your /etc/dhcpd.conf (see dhcpd.conf(5) and dhcp-options(5) for more information): ddns-update-style none; # Do not use any dynamic DNS features # allow bootp; # Allow bootp requests, thus the dhcp server # will act as a bootp server. # authoritative; # master DHCP server for this subnet # subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { # Which network interface to listen on. # The zeros indicate the range of addresses # that are allowed to connect. } group { # Set of parameters common to all clients # in this "group". # option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255; option domain-name "test.net"; option domain-name-servers dns.test.net; option routers router.test.net; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; # # An individual client. # host client.test.net { hardware ethernet CC:CC:CC:CC:CC:CC; fixed-address 192.168.1.10; # # Name of the host (if the fixed address # doesn't resolve to a simple name). # option host-name "client"; # # Name of the bootloader or kernel # to download via tftp. # filename "ofwboot.xcf"; # # The path on the NFS server. # option root-path "/export/client/root"; # # If your DHCP server is not your NFS server, supply the # address of the NFS server. Since we assume you run everything # on one server, this is not needed. # # macppc machines will look for their bootloader, # ofwboot.xcf, on the next-server as well. # # next-server server.test.net; } #you may paste another "host" entry here for additional #clients on this network } You will need to make sure that the dhcpd.leases file exists. # touch /var/db/dhcpd.leases You will need to start the dhcpd. If it's already running, you will need to restart it to force it to re-read its configuration file. If the server is running NetBSD, you can achieve this with: # /etc/rc.d/dhcpd restart 3. tftpd(8) The default configuration of the TFTP server is to run in a chroot(8) environment in the /tftpboot directory. Thus, the first order of business is to create this directory: # mkdir -p /tftpboot Next, edit /etc/inetd.conf and uncomment the line with the TFTP daemon: tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/tftpd tftpd -l -s /tftpboot Now, restart inetd(8). If the server is running NetBSD, you can achieve this with: # /etc/rc.d/inetd restart Now, you need to copy the bootloader for your macppc machine to /tftpboot. Get ofwboot.xcf(8) from the installation directory of the distribution. # cp ofwboot.xcf /tftpboot Just to be sure, let's make everything readable. # chmod -R a+rX /tftpboot Sometimes, the arp(8) table gets messed up, and the TFTP server can't communicate with the client. In this case, it will write a log message (via syslogd(8)) to /var/log/messages saying: `tftpd: write: Host is down'. If this is the case, you may need to force the server to map your client's ethernet address to its IP address: # arp -s client CC:CC:CC:CC:CC:CC 4. nfsd(8), mountd(8), and rpcbind(8) Now your system should be able to load the bootstrap program and start looking for the kernel. Let's set up the NFS server. Create the directory you are exporting for the netboot client: # mkdir -p /export/client/root Put the following line in /etc/exports to enable NFS sharing: /export/client/root -maproot=root client.test.net If your server is currently running an NFS server, you only need to restart mountd(8). Otherwise, you need to start rpcbind(8) and nfsd(8). If the server is running NetBSD, you can achieve this with: # /etc/rc.d/rpcbind start # /etc/rc.d/nfsd start # /etc/rc.d/mountd restart 5. NetBSD kernel and installation tools Now, if you place a kernel named netbsd in /export/client/root your client should boot the kernel. If you are netbooting the installer, use binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz (this has the installation tools in a RAM disk). Also, copy the distribution files to the client's root directory. Note: Some combinations of Open Firmware version and ofwboot.xcf version have trouble loading compressed ker- nels. If you have trouble loading a kernel, try uncom- pressing it with gunzip(1) # cp *tgz /export/client/root # gunzip netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz # mv netbsd-GENERIC_MD /export/client/root/netbsd If you are running your macppc diskless, simply use binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.gz. 6. Client file system You can skip this step if you do not plan to run your client diskless after installation. Otherwise, you need to extract and set up the client's installation of NetBSD. The Diskless HOW-TO describes how to provide better security and save space on the NFS server over the procedure listed here. http://www.NetBSD.org/Documentation/network/netboot/nfs.html - Extracting distribution sets # cd /export/client/root # tar -xpzf /path/to/files/base.tgz # tar -xpzf /path/to/files/etc.tgz Continue with the other non-essential distribution sets if desired. - Set up swap # mkdir /export/client/root/swap # dd if=/dev/zero of=/export/client/swap bs=4k count=4k # echo '/export/client/swap -maproot=root:wheel client.test.net' | cat /etc/exports # /etc/rc.d/mountd restart This creates a 16 MB swap file and exports it to the client. - Create device nodes # cd /export/client/root/dev # ./MAKEDEV all This procedure only works on NetBSD hosts. - Set up the client's fstab(5) Create a file in /export/client/root/etc/fstab with the fol- lowing lines: server:/export/client/swap none swap sw,nfsmntpt=/swap server:/export/client/root / nfs rw 0 0 - Set up the client's rc.conf(5) Edit /export/client/root/etc/rc.conf rc_configured=YES hostname="client" defaultroute="192.168.1.1" nfs_client=YES auto_ifconfig=NO net_interfaces="" Make sure rc does not reconfigure the network device since it will lose its connection to the NFS server with your root file system. - Set up the client's hosts(5) file. Edit /export/client/root/etc/hosts ::1 localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.10 client.test.net client 192.168.1.5 server.test.net server 7. Setting up the server daemons If you want these services to start up every time you boot your server, make sure the following lines are present in your /etc/rc.conf: dhcpd=YES dhcpd_flags="-q" nfs_server=YES # enable server daemons mountd=YES rpcbind=YES rpcbind_flags="-l" # -l logs libwrap Also, you'll need to make sure the tftpd line in /etc/inetd.conf remains uncommented. Skip forward to Installing the NetBSD System o Preparing a SCSI or IDE drive with the CD-R image If the NetBSD/macppc CD-R image is compressed, then you will need to uncompress it first. Find a spare bootable drive (i.e. SCSI or IDE), and use some tool to write the disk image macppccd.iso to your spare drive, and boot from that drive. For example, you could use a Zip drive, a Jaz drive, a Compact Flash drive, or even a spare hard drive. The disk image has an HFS partition with ofwboot.xcf which loads the installation kernel from the ISO file system on the disk image. - From an UNIX-like machine (including MacOS X) # dd if=macppccd.iso of=/dev/rsd0c where /dev/rsd0c is the `whole disk' partition for the drive you will be using. Be certain you have typed this correctly, as it will erase the disk. - From a Windows machine Get rawrite32.exe from http://www.duskware.com/rawrite32/ Be certain you have selected the correct disk, as it will erase the contents. - From a MacOS 9 (or earlier) machine Get suntar from http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/HyperArchive/Archive/cmp/suntar-223.hqx 1. Open the `Preferences' menu and pick `Expert Mode' 2. Open the `File' menu and pick `Open Device ...' 3. Click on the ``scan SCSI'' button to get a list of which drives are attached. 4. Pick the correct drive. Be certain you have selected the correct disk, as it will erase the contents. 5. Open the `Special' menu and pick `Overwrite Sectors ...' 6. Hit return (i.e. start at sector number zero) 7. Select macppccd.iso and click ``Open'' 8. Open the `File' menu and pick `Close Device' Skip forward to Installing the NetBSD System Preparing your Open Firmware 1.x or 2.x System for NetBSD Getting to Open Firmware on Apple Network Servers (Open Firmware 1.1.22) The version of Open Firmware in the Apple Network Servers can only use a serial console. You must first hook up a serial console (38400 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no handshaking) to `Port 2' (the `ttya' device in Open Firmware). Hold down a special four-key combination on the keyboard attached to the ADB port on your system (not the serial console) when your system boots. After the chime starts, but before it stops, hold down the four COMMAND-OPTION-O-F keys (the COMMAND key looks like a four-leaf clover or an open apple, and the OPTION key may look like a two-way switch with four straight line segments or say ALT) until you see some introductory text and the Open Firmware command prompt on your serial terminal: 0 Your Apple Network Server's screen will remain black. Now, set your system to always stop at the Open Firmware prompt. 0 setenv auto-boot? false Skip down to the section on Setting up Open Firmware 1 and 2 to boot NetBSD since the next several pages are instructions for MacOS models. Open Firmware 1 and 2 System Preparation Open Firmware has two variables, `input-device' and `output-device', which specify how it accepts commands and displays output. All Open Firmware 1.0.5 and most Open Firmware 2.0.x systems will default to using the `Modem' serial port for the console instead of the ADB keyboard and the monitor attached to the on-board video. Unless you use a MacOS-based utility to set these variables correctly, you will need to hook up a serial console temporarily to configure Open Firmware to use your keyboard and screen. Some models (such as the Per- forma 54xx, 6360, 6400, and 6500) have the `Modem' serial port covered with a piece of plastic since the internal modem usurps that serial port. You will either need to use Boot Variables to set the `input-device' and `output-device' variables to `ttyb' (which is the Printer serial port) or remove the internal modem. Open Firmware seems to ignore the settings on most DB15 to VGA adapters. Depending on your model, it will default to either 640 x 480 at 60 Hz or to the resolution previously selected in MacOS. Make sure that your mon- itor can handle these resolutions. Now would be a good time to look at the NetBSD/macppc Model Support web- page to determine the issues with your model. http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/models.html In particular, some models must use a serial console, or they will be unable to boot NetBSD at all. All models can be set to use a serial con- sole, if you desire to bypass the keyboard and screen. If, after re-reading the next several sections, you still need help fig- uring out your `input-device' and `output-device' settings, see the FAQ: http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/faq.html#ofw-input-output-devices If you need to use a serial console, you can use a normal `printer' cable (mini-DIN 8 to mini-DIN 8) and a MacOS tool, such as ZTerm to connect a MacOS system to your NetBSD/macppc system. http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/HyperArchive/Archive/comm/term/zterm-101.hqx http://homepage.mac.com/dalverson/zterm/ See the NetBSD Serial Port Primer for additional help and references: http://www.NetBSD.org/Documentation/Hardware/Misc/serial.html All Open Firmware 1 and 2 macppc systems have Open Firmware bugs. Luck- ily, Open Firmware has a small Non-Volatile RAM variable (NVRAM) which is reserved for FORTH commands which will be run before booting an operating system. Apple has released a freeware MacOS 9 tool called System Disk, which patches most of these bugs. We strongly recommend that you use this tool to patch your Open Firmware, as several systems cannot boot without these patches. Instructions for using System Disk are covered in the next section. Unfortunately, some models are broken by or are unsupported by System Disk. If you have one of the following models, then skip down to the section on Getting to Open Firmware (Harder, MacOS 7 thru 9) Apple Performa 4400, 5500, 6500, 54xx, 6400, and 6360, Motorola Starmax 3000, 4000, 5000, and 5500, APS Tech M*Power 604e/200, PowerComputing PowerBase, Umax Apus 2000, Apus 3000, C500, and C600 Umax S900 Getting to Open Firmware (MacOS X or Darwin) When you install MacOS X or Darwin, it will install the necessary NVRAM bug fixes. Use the nvram command to set your system to always stop at the Open Firmware prompt, then reboot. # nvram auto-boot\?=false You will need to escape the question-mark or enclose the whole nvram argument in double-quotes to prevent your shell from trying to interpret it. You should now see the Open Firmware command prompt on your screen: Open Firmware, 1.0.5 To continue booting the MacOS type: BYEreturn To continue booting from the default boot device type: BOOTreturn ok 0 If your screen is black, then your model has defaulted to using a serial console. You must hook up a serial console (38400 bps, 8 bits, no par- ity, 1 stop bit, no handshaking). Getting to Open Firmware (Best, MacOS 8 or 9) Download System Disk: ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/macosxserver/utilities/SystemDisk2.3.1.smi.bin For a brief tutorial on how to use System Disk, see: http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/SystemDisk-tutorial/ Launch the MacOS System Disk tool. Click on ``Power User (Open Firmware)'' then click on the ``Advanced Options'' button. Now, click on the checkbox that says ``Stop Boot at Open Firmware prompt'' and select ``OK''. Click the ``Save'' button and reboot your system. Note: NVRAM patches and Open Firmware settings will be erased if you `zap your PRAM' by holding down COMMAND-OPTION-P-R keys during the boot chimes, or if you accidentally boot into MacOS 9 or earlier. If your `output-device' is `/chaos/control' (i.e. you have a PowerMacin- tosh 7300 -- 8600 system), there is a chance that your monitor will not sync. See http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/SystemDisk-tutorial/of105patch.html You should now see the Open Firmware command prompt on your screen: Open Firmware, 1.0.5 To continue booting the MacOS type: BYEreturn To continue booting from the default boot device type: BOOTreturn ok 0 If your screen is black, then your model does not support using the on- board video in Open Firmware. You will need to connect a serial console to the `Modem' port of your system (38400 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no handshaking). Note: The ``Stop Boot at Open Firmware prompt'' setting is persistent. It is equivalent to the Open Firmware command 0 setenv auto-boot? false Note: Unfortunately, there are a few models that are better off without the System Disk patches. If you find that your machine doesn't boot, then try: 0 setenv use-nvramrc? false 0 reset-all Getting to Open Firmware (Harder, MacOS 7, 8, or 9) If System Disk doesn't work because your version of MacOS is too old or because System Disk says that it doesn't support your model, then you may try using the MacOS BootVars tool. ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/macppc/macos-utils/bootvars/bootvars.sit.hqx Note: BootVars does not apply the (possibly critical) NVRAM patches that System Disk does. Expect some devices to not work (such as boot- ing from hard drives and CD-ROMs). Look up the proper `output-device' for your model on the NetBSD/macppc Model Support webpage. http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/models.html If the NetBSD/macppc Model support webpage does not list an `output-device' for your model, then your system will default to using the on-board video. You needn't fill in the `output-device' and `input-device' variables. Launch the MacOS BootVars tool. Uncheck the ``auto-boot?'' checkbox, then check on the ``All Variables'' checkbox and type kbd into the `input-device' box, and the proper device name into the `output-device' box. Click on the ``write'' button, and then reboot your system. If your `output-device' is `/chaos/control' (i.e. you have a PowerMacin- tosh 7300 -- 8600 system), there is a chance that your monitor will not sync. See http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/SystemDisk-tutorial/of105patch.html If you have a Performa 5500 or 6500, you may need to apply NVRAMRC patches to use your built-in video. See the information in the NetBSD/macppc Model Support webpage. You should now see the Open Firmware command prompt on your screen: Open Firmware, 1.0.5 To continue booting the MacOS type: BYEreturn To continue booting from the default boot device type: BOOTreturn ok 0 If your screen is black, then your model has defaulted to using a serial console. This is fairly common on Open Firmware 1 and 2 models if you do not use the System Disk tool to set up Open Firmware. You must hook up a serial console (38400 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no handshak- ing). Note: The ``auto-boot?'' setting is persistent. Your system will always stop at the Open Firmware prompt. It is equivalent to the Open Firmware command 0 setenv auto-boot? false Getting to Open Firmware (Without using MacOS) (Open Firmware 1.0.5, Open Firmware 2.0.x, Open Firmware 2.4) If you don't have MacOS, then you need to hold down a special four-key combination when your system boots. Do this on the keyboard attached to the ADB port on your system (not the serial console or PS/2 port) when your system boots. Note: Your system will not have the (possibly critical) NVRAM patches that System Disk applies. Expect some devices to not work (such as booting from hard drives and CD-ROMs).

Now, set your system to always stop at the Open Firmware prompt. 0 setenv auto-boot? false To use your on-board video and keyboard, look up the proper `output-device' for your model on the NetBSD/macppc webpage http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/models.html Run the following commands to use your screen instead of a serial console (replace `screen' with the correct `output-device' for your model): 0 setenv output-device screen 0 setenv input-device kbd 0 reset-all Now you should see the Open Firmware prompt on your screen. If your `output-device' is `/chaos/control' (i.e. you have a PowerMacin- tosh 7300 -- 8600 system), there is a chance that your monitor will not sync. See http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/SystemDisk-tutorial/of105patch.html Setting up Open Firmware 1 and 2 to boot NetBSD This section describes some steps you must take to prepare Open Firmware to boot NetBSD. Additional resources are available in the FAQ regarding how to use the Open Firmware command environment, and the Open Firmware variables you may be using: http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/faq.html#ofw-access http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/faq.html#ofw-variables Double-check your Open Firmware version: 0 dev /openprom 0 .properties name openprom model Open Firmware, 1.0.5 relative-addressing ok If your system has Open Firmware prior to version 3, then you must set some Open Firmware variables before NetBSD can boot. Do not run these commands on Open Firmware 3 machines, as you may overwrite your firmware requiring a trip to Apple for repairs. 0 setenv load-base 600000 0 setenv real-base F00000 0 reset-all The last command reboots your machine so that the settings are stored. If you will be netbooting your system, you can look up your MAC address. 0 dev enet 0 .properties [...] local-mac-address CCCCCCCC CCCC [...] ok Note: Some early Open Firmware 1.0.5 machines had their MAC address stored incorrectly on the motherboard (little- vs. big-endian problems). The patches the System Disk installs will correct this. Without the patch, the machine will still work, but its MAC address may conflict with another ethernet device on your network. You can check your Open Firmware settings with the printenv command: 0 printenv little-endian? false false real-mode? false false auto-boot? false true diag-switch? false false [...] use-nvramrc? true false real-base F00000 -1 [...] load-base 600000 4000 [...] input-device kbd ttya output-device /chaos/control ttya Note: All Open Firmware 1.0.5 settings and nvram patches will be erased if you boot into MacOS 9 or earlier. You will need to re-enter them before booting NetBSD again. Note: Open Firmware 2.0.x and Open Firmware 2.4 systems will set the real-base environment variable to its default value (which pre- vents NetBSD from booting) if you boot into MacOS 9 or earlier. Available Boot Media Open Firmware is capable of booting from a variety of media (such as hard drives, floppy disks, CD-ROMs, and ethernet). Open Firmware is able to boot files from a variety of file systems (such as ISO9660, and MS-DOS FAT). Unfortunately, Open Firmware is not able to directly boot from the NetBSD file system (FFS) or Apple's file systems (HFS, HFS+, or UFS), so we must put the bootloader in a location that Open Firmware is capable of understanding. Therefore, to boot the NetBSD kernel, Open Firmware must first load a `bootloader' which knows how to load the NetBSD kernel. Open Firmware 1 and 2 take either a two or three stage approach, depending on the boot media. In the two step approach, Open Firmware loads ofwboot.xcf from the boot media, which then loads the kernel. In the three step approach (used in the `partition zero' method), Open Firmware loads a primary bootloader bootxx from a disk which then loads the secondary bootloader ofwboot (which is functionally identical to ofwboot.xcf) which then loads the kernel. Note: ofwboot.elf is obsoleted. All users should be using ofwboot.xcf instead of ofwboot.elf now. The following bootable media are available for loading the bootloader: o `Partition zero' This method loads the primary bootloader bootxx located in the Apple Partition Map, which then loads the secondary bootloader ofwboot which then loads the kernel. This is what sysinst will place on your hard drive during the installation procedure. Additionally, the NetBSD/macppc CD-R images and boot floppies use this method, loading a kernel from the floppy's FFS parti- tion or the CD-R's ISO9660 partition. o MS-DOS file system In this method, Open Firmware loads the ofwboot.xcf bootloader from an MS-DOS file system. It may then load a NetBSD kernel from the same MS-DOS file system. This has only been thor- oughly tested on floppy disks, but may work on Zip disks or FDISK-formatted hard drives. This does not work for MS-DOS partitions on a hard drive with an Apple Partition Map. o Ethernet (network boot) You can run your entire system diskless or netboot only the files necessary to boot (i.e. the bootloader and the installa- tion kernel). You must have root access for the UNIX -like netboot server, which must be on the same subnet as your NetBSD/macppc machine. Note: You must use your on-board ethernet device for netboot- ing. While there may be some PCI or Cardbus ethernet interfaces with Open Firmware ROMs, no one has reported success netbooting using these devices o ISO9660 CD-ROM file system Load the ofwboot.xcf bootloader from an ISO9660 CD-ROM. It can then load a NetBSD kernel from the ISO9660 CD-ROM. Open Firmware 1.0.5 and 2.0.x machines will not boot from the ISO9660 file system if you create a hybrid HFS/ISO format CD-R. Make sure that the CD only has ISO9660 data and does not have an Apple Partition Map. Note: Open Firmware can only open files on the first session of a multi-session CD-R Once the bootloader is loaded, it can open the kernel from one of the following sources: o Ethernet (NFS) o NetBSD FFS file system Such as the boot floppy, or an installed NetBSD partition. o MacOS X UFS file system o ISO9660 CD-ROM file system o MS-DOS file system In theory, Open Firmware 2.4 systems should be able to load the boot- loader from an HFS or HFS+ partition or a hybrid CD-R, but users have reported that it doesn't work. The boot floppy images provided with the distribution sets have a `partition zero' bootloader and a NetBSD file system with an installation kernel. The boot CD-R images provided with the distribution sets has both a `partition zero' bootloader and ofwboot.xcf on a hybrid partition so it can be booted on all Open Firmware versions. It also has an ISO9660 file system with an installation kernel and the distribution sets. Partitioning your hard drive for NetBSD You must use the NetBSD installer to partition your disk if you want it to be bootable. With this release of NetBSD, there is no way to dual- boot MacOS and NetBSD on one hard drive. You can use the instructions in this section to partition a disk that may also be used with MacOS, although a disk prepared in this way will not boot NetBSD. That means, your root partition (/) must be on a drive pre- pared with the NetBSD installer, but the partitions not necessary to boot (for example /usr, /home, or /export) may be on the same disk as MacOS. Unless you are planning to use partitions on the same disk as MacOS, skip forward to Preparing the Open Firmware 1 or 2 Bootable Media There are two partitioning tools available for NetBSD/macppc, disklabel(8) and pdisk(8). The former is used in the NetBSD sysinst installer, and will render your disk unusable by MacOS. The process is more fully detailed in the Partitioning HOW-TO: http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/partitioning.html You can create a partition map with pdisk(8), but the disk will not be usable with MacOS 9 and earlier. If this is a concern, you will need to use Apple's Drive Setup or Disk Utility. If you are using Apple's Drive Setup tool, make sure you have version 1.8.1 or later. This tool only runs under MacOS 9 and earlier. Drive Setup will erase the contents of your drive -- it does not preserve data from any of your partitions. Apple's Disk Utility only runs under MacOS X 10.0.0 and later. Make sure you click the ``Install Mac OS 9 Disk Drivers'' checkbox. Also, keep in mind that Disk Utility does not create the partitions that NetBSD/macppc requires. After creating the initial partition map with Disk Utility, you will need to use the NetBSD pdisk to change the partition types. Also, Disk Utility will erase the contents of your drive -- it does not preserve data from any of your partitions. pdisk is the most flexible (and most difficult to use) partitioning tool available. It runs on almost all OSes that macppc machines support. Download it: ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/macppc/netbsd-pdisk/ ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/macppc/macos-utils/pdisk.sea.hqx There is built-in help describing how it works. When it asks you to enter the ``Type of partition'', use Apple_UNIX_SVR2 for NetBSD parti- tions, Apple_HFS for HFS and HFS+ partitions, and Apple_UFS for UFS par- titions. After you've written the partition map with pdisk, you will need to cre- ate the file systems. Use newfs(8) and mount(8) for NetBSD file systems, and hfstools to create and mount HFS file systems. ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/sysutils/hfsutils/README.html Make the following partitions: A/UX Swap Any size. The recommendation is your RAM size, although this is not strictly nec- essary for machines with a lot of RAM. NetBSD interprets an A/UX Swap partition as the second partition (b) on the disk. This partition is not readable from MacOS. A/UX User and A/UX Free1 Use these for any additional partitions you may want to use under NetBSD, such as /usr (at least 200 MB), /home, /usr/local, or /usr/pkg. NetBSD inter- prets these partitions as normal NetBSD -style partitions. These partitions are not readable from MacOS. HFS Any size. You may want to leave an addi- tional partition available to transfer files between MacOS and NetBSD. If would like to create such a partition, then see the Partitioning HOW-TO. http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/partitioning.html#msdos UFS Any size. UFS partitions are not read- able from MacOS versions prior to X 10.0.0. If you use an UFS partition as your root, then it may not be recognized by the NetBSD kernel as the first parti- tion (a) on the disk. You will need to compile a new kernel with the root parti- tion explicitly defined to be the UFS partition. Now would be a good time to use pdisk to determine the partition numbers for your bootloader and kernel. Preparing the Open Firmware 1 or 2 Bootable Media The purpose of this section is to prepare the media from which your sys- tem will boot the installer. We'll describe how to put the files in the right places on your disk(s) or netboot server and prepare it for use on your system. If you will be running your system diskless (i.e. entirely over NFS, not using any local hard drives), then you do not need to run the installer, you only need to extract the distribution sets on the diskless server. To get the distribution sets onto appropriate media, see the above sec- tion entitled Getting the NetBSD System on to Useful Media. You may want to get the distribution sets when you create the bootable media. Note: Some MacOS ftp clients default to downloading files in `ASCII' mode. This will render the NetBSD files useless. Make sure to set your ftp program to download in `binary' mode. What follows are the steps to create different types of bootable media for the NetBSD install kernel. You should only need to create one of these to get your system to boot the installer o Creating the NetBSD/macppc CD-R Go to one of the NetBSD mirror sites and download the CD-R image macppccd.iso from the pub/NetBSD/iso directory. http://www.NetBSD.org/mirrors/#iso - From an UNIX-like machine Get and install cdrecord. NetBSD users should install it from the package collection. Other UNIX -like systems should get it from the official website: ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrecord/README.html http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdrecord.html # cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=/dev/cd1c macppccd.iso You will need to substitute the correct name of the disk image file, speed for your CD writer, and the correct device for your system (for i386 it would be /dev/cd1d). - From a MacOS machine (using Toast) 1. Click the `Other' button in the main window. 2. Open the contextual menu on the `Other' button and select `Disk Image' 3. Click the `Select' button and select the disk image you downloaded. 4. Click the `Record' button Skip forward to Installing the NetBSD System o Creating the NetBSD/macppc install floppies 1. First, make sure you have done a low-level format on the disks. A bad floppy can produce Open Firmware errors similar to other problems. 2. If the boot floppy images are compressed, then you will need to uncompress them first. 3. Use a tool to write the boot floppy images installation/floppy/boot1.fs and installation/floppy/boot2.fs to two floppy disks. - From an UNIX-like machine # dd if=boot1.fs of=/dev/rfd0a bs=36k # dd if=boot2.fs of=/dev/rfd0a bs=36k - From a Windows machine Get either the rawrite.exe program from the NetBSD/i386 dis- tribution or rawrite32.exe from http://www.duskware.com/rawrite32/ - From a MacOS 9 (or earlier) machine Get suntar from http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/HyperArchive/Archive/cmp/suntar-223.hqx 1. Open the `Preferences' menu and pick `Expert Mode' 2. Open the `Special' menu and pick `Overwrite Sectors ...' 3. Insert the first floppy disk 4. Hit return (i.e. start at sector number zero) 5. Select boot1.fs and click ``Open'' 6. Open the `File' menu and pick `Eject' 7. Repeat the process for the second floppy Skip forward to Installing the NetBSD System o Creating a custom ISO9660 CD-R This section describes how to create your own bootable NetBSD/macppc CD-R. We recommend that you use the official NetBSD/macppc-3.0.3 CD-R image, as described in the section above. Place ofwboot.xcf and the installation kernel netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz at the top level of the CD. Due to restrictions in the way that Open Firmware deals with ISO filenames, you may wish to name your kernel netbsd.gz. You may also place the NetBSD 3.0.3 distribution sets on the disk. - From an UNIX-like machine Get and install mkisofs. This is now part of the cdrecord pack- age. NetBSD users should install it from the package collection. Other UNIX -like systems should get it from the official website: ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrecord/README.html http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdrecord.html # mkisofs -o output.iso -l -J -r -L -N /cdsources # cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=/dev/cd1c output.iso You will need to substitute the correct speed for your CD writer, and the correct device for your system (for i386 it would be /dev/cd1d). See the NetBSD Bootable CD-ROM HOW-TO for more detail: http://www.NetBSD.org/Documentation/bootcd.html - From a MacOS machine (using Toast) 1. Click the `Other' button in the main window 2. Open the contextual menu on the `Other' button and select `ISO 9660' 3. Click the `Select' button. 4. Click the `Settings' tab, open the `Naming' popup menu, and pick `Allow Macintosh Names' 5. Click on the `Files' tab 6. Drag installation/ofwboot.xcf and binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz into the window. You may also want to drag the NetBSD 3.0.3 distribution sets to this window as well. 7. Click the `Done' button 8. Click the `Record' button Skip forward to Installing the NetBSD System o Creating an MS-DOS disk Unfortunately, the installation kernel is now too large to fit onto a floppy disk, but you can still create a bootable Zip disk with this method. 1. First, make sure you have done a low-level format on the disk. A bad disk can produce Open Firmware errors similar to other problems. 2. Mount the disk on your computer. - Insert it into a Windows or DOS machine. - Use `File Exchange or `PC Exchange'' with MacOS versions prior to X 10.0.0 - Use mount_msdos(8) on any UNIX -like machine. 3. Copy netbsd-INSTALL.gz and ofwboot.xcf to the disk. 4. Rename netbsd-INSTALL.gz to netbsd.gz, since OpenFirmware can't deal with MS-DOS filenames longer than eight characters. Skip forward to Installing the NetBSD System o Preparing the netboot server 1. Introduction To netboot a macppc, you must configure one or more servers to provide information and files to your macppc (the `client ).' If you are using NetBSD (any architecture) on your netboot server(s), the information provided here should be sufficient to configure everything. Additionally, you may wish to look at the diskless(8) manual page and the manual pages for each daemon you'll be configuring. If the server(s) are another operating system, you should consult the NetBSD Diskless HOW-TO, which will walk you through the steps necessary to configure the net- boot services on a variety of platforms. http://www.NetBSD.org/Documentation/network/netboot/ You may either netboot the installer so you can install onto a locally attached disk, or you may run your system entirely over the network. Briefly, the netboot process involves discovery, bootstrap, ker- nel and file system stages. In the first stage, the client dis- covers information about where to find the bootstrap program. Next, it downloads and executes the bootstrap program. The bootstrap program goes through another discovery phase to deter- mine where the kernel is located. The bootstrap program tries to mount the NFS share containing the kernel. Once the kernel is loaded, it starts executing. For RAM disk kernels, it mounts the RAM disk file system and begins executing the installer from the RAM disk. For normal (non-RAM disk) kernels, the kernel tries to mount the NFS share that had the kernel and starts exe- cuting the installation tools or init(8). All macppc systems use BOOTP for the discovery stage. TFTP is used in the boot- strap phase to download the bootstrap program, ofwboot.xcf. NFS is used in both the kernel and file system stages to download the kernel, and to access files on the file server. We will use `CC:CC:CC:CC:CC:CC' as the MAC address (ethernet hardware address) of your netboot client machine. You should have determined this address in an earlier stage. In this exam- ple, we will use `192.168.1.10' as the IP address of your client and `client.test.net' as its name. We will assume you're pro- viding all of your netboot services on one machine called `server.test.net' with the client's files exported from the directory /export/client/root. You should, of course, replace all of these with the names, addresses, and paths appropriate to your environment. You should set up each netboot stage in order (i.e. discovery, bootstrap, kernel, and then file system) so that you can test them as you proceed. 2. dhcpd(8) in bootpd(8) compatible mode Put the following lines in your /etc/dhcpd.conf (see dhcpd.conf(5) and dhcp-options(5) for more information): ddns-update-style none; # Do not use any dynamic DNS features # allow bootp; # Allow bootp requests, thus the dhcp server # will act as a bootp server. # authoritative; # master DHCP server for this subnet # subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { # Which network interface to listen on. # The zeros indicate the range of addresses # that are allowed to connect. } group { # Set of parameters common to all clients # in this "group". # option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255; option domain-name "test.net"; option domain-name-servers dns.test.net; option routers router.test.net; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; # # An individual client. # host client.test.net { hardware ethernet CC:CC:CC:CC:CC:CC; fixed-address 192.168.1.10; # # Name of the host (if the fixed address # doesn't resolve to a simple name). # option host-name "client"; # # Name of the bootloader or kernel # to download via tftp. # filename "ofwboot.xcf"; # # The path on the NFS server. # option root-path "/export/client/root"; # # If your DHCP server is not your NFS server, supply the # address of the NFS server. Since we assume you run everything # on one server, this is not needed. # # macppc machines will look for their bootloader, # ofwboot.xcf, on the next-server as well. # # next-server server.test.net; } #you may paste another "host" entry here for additional #clients on this network } You will need to make sure that the dhcpd.leases file exists. # touch /var/db/dhcpd.leases You will need to start the dhcpd. If it's already running, you will need to restart it to force it to re-read its configuration file. If the server is running NetBSD, you can achieve this with: # /etc/rc.d/dhcpd restart 3. tftpd(8) The default configuration of the TFTP server is to run in a chroot(8) environment in the /tftpboot directory. Thus, the first order of business is to create this directory: # mkdir -p /tftpboot Next, edit /etc/inetd.conf and uncomment the line with the TFTP daemon: tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/tftpd tftpd -l -s /tftpboot Now, restart inetd(8). If the server is running NetBSD, you can achieve this with: # /etc/rc.d/inetd restart Now, you need to copy the bootloader for your macppc machine to /tftpboot. Get ofwboot.xcf(8) from the installation directory of the distribution. # cp ofwboot.xcf /tftpboot Just to be sure, let's make everything readable. # chmod -R a+rX /tftpboot Sometimes, the arp(8) table gets messed up, and the TFTP server can't communicate with the client. In this case, it will write a log message (via syslogd(8)) to /var/log/messages saying: `tftpd: write: Host is down'. If this is the case, you may need to force the server to map your client's ethernet address to its IP address: # arp -s client CC:CC:CC:CC:CC:CC 4. nfsd(8), mountd(8), and rpcbind(8) Now your system should be able to load the bootstrap program and start looking for the kernel. Let's set up the NFS server. Create the directory you are exporting for the netboot client: # mkdir -p /export/client/root Put the following line in /etc/exports to enable NFS sharing: /export/client/root -maproot=root client.test.net If your server is currently running an NFS server, you only need to restart mountd(8). Otherwise, you need to start rpcbind(8) and nfsd(8). If the server is running NetBSD, you can achieve this with: # /etc/rc.d/rpcbind start # /etc/rc.d/nfsd start # /etc/rc.d/mountd restart 5. NetBSD kernel and installation tools Now, if you place a kernel named netbsd in /export/client/root your client should boot the kernel. If you are netbooting the installer, use binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz (this has the installation tools in a RAM disk). Also, copy the distribution files to the client's root directory. Note: Some combinations of Open Firmware version and ofwboot.xcf version have trouble loading compressed ker- nels. If you have trouble loading a kernel, try uncom- pressing it with gunzip(1) # cp *tgz /export/client/root # gunzip netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz # mv netbsd-GENERIC_MD /export/client/root/netbsd If you are running your macppc diskless, simply use binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.gz. 6. Client file system You can skip this step if you do not plan to run your client diskless after installation. Otherwise, you need to extract and set up the client's installation of NetBSD. The Diskless HOW-TO describes how to provide better security and save space on the NFS server over the procedure listed here. http://www.NetBSD.org/Documentation/network/netboot/nfs.html - Extracting distribution sets # cd /export/client/root # tar -xpzf /path/to/files/base.tgz # tar -xpzf /path/to/files/etc.tgz Continue with the other non-essential distribution sets if desired. - Set up swap # mkdir /export/client/root/swap # dd if=/dev/zero of=/export/client/swap bs=4k count=4k # echo '/export/client/swap -maproot=root:wheel client.test.net' | cat /etc/exports # /etc/rc.d/mountd restart This creates a 16 MB swap file and exports it to the client. - Create device nodes # cd /export/client/root/dev # ./MAKEDEV all This procedure only works on NetBSD hosts. - Set up the client's fstab(5) Create a file in /export/client/root/etc/fstab with the fol- lowing lines: server:/export/client/swap none swap sw,nfsmntpt=/swap server:/export/client/root / nfs rw 0 0 - Set up the client's rc.conf(5) Edit /export/client/root/etc/rc.conf rc_configured=YES hostname="client" defaultroute="192.168.1.1" nfs_client=YES auto_ifconfig=NO net_interfaces="" Make sure rc does not reconfigure the network device since it will lose its connection to the NFS server with your root file system. - Set up the client's hosts(5) file. Edit /export/client/root/etc/hosts ::1 localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.10 client.test.net client 192.168.1.5 server.test.net server 7. Setting up the server daemons If you want these services to start up every time you boot your server, make sure the following lines are present in your /etc/rc.conf: dhcpd=YES dhcpd_flags="-q" nfs_server=YES # enable server daemons mountd=YES rpcbind=YES rpcbind_flags="-l" # -l logs libwrap Also, you'll need to make sure the tftpd line in /etc/inetd.conf remains uncommented. Skip forward to Installing the NetBSD System o Preparing a SCSI or IDE drive with the CD-R image If the NetBSD/macppc CD-R image is compressed, then you will need to uncompress it first. Find a spare bootable drive (i.e. SCSI or IDE), and use some tool to write the disk image macppccd.iso to your spare drive, and boot from that drive. For example, you could use a Zip drive, a Jaz drive, a Compact Flash drive, or even a spare hard drive. The disk image has a `partition zero' bootloader which ultimately loads the installation kernel from the ISO file system on the disk image. - From an UNIX-like machine (including MacOS X) # dd if=macppccd.iso of=/dev/rsd0c where /dev/rsd0c is the `whole disk' partition for the drive you will be using. Be certain you have typed this correctly, as it will erase the disk. - From a Windows machine Get rawrite32.exe from http://www.duskware.com/rawrite32/ Be certain you have selected the correct disk, as it will erase the contents. - From a MacOS 9 (or earlier) machine Get suntar from http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/HyperArchive/Archive/cmp/suntar-223.hqx 1. Open the `Preferences' menu and pick `Expert Mode' 2. Open the `File' menu and pick `Open Device ...' 3. Click on the ``scan SCSI'' button to get a list of which drives are attached. 4. Pick the correct drive. Be certain you have selected the correct disk, as it will erase the contents. 5. Open the `Special' menu and pick `Overwrite Sectors ...' 6. Hit return (i.e. start at sector number zero) 7. Select macppccd.iso and click ``Open'' 8. Open the `File' menu and pick `Close Device' Installing the NetBSD System Open Firmware boot syntax The syntax of the Open Firmware boot command is: boot boot-device [boot-file] [-as] where the boot-device describes where to find the bootloader, boot-file describes where to find the NetBSD kernel, and the options specify how you want to boot. You use the boot-device to tell Open Firmware where to find ofwboot(8) by listing the device, the partition (if it's a disk), and the filename of the bootloader (if using ofwboot.xcf). If the boot-file is on the same device and partition (if it's a disk) as the boot-device then you can just specify the kernel filename. Other- wise, you need to specify the full Open Firmware path to the kernel. The -a flag will ask you for the location of the next item to load (i.e. the bootloader will ask where the kernel is (if unspecified), or the ker- nel will ask where the root file system is). The -s flag will boot into `single-user' mode. The exact command you will be using depends on which version of Open Firmware your machine has and which device you will be booting from. Sometimes you may have to guess as we don't know all of the combinations of models, device names, and file names. In general the format is: device:[partition][,\filename]. Keep in mind for the future that you may be able to have your boot-device and boot-file on entirely different devices (such as the bootloader netbooted from enet and the kernel loaded from a hard drive on the ultra0 ATA/IDE bus). We'll try to walk you through the process of figuring out what Open Firmware calls your device, partition, and file names. To start with, Open Firmware keeps a ``device tree'' with all of the devices it finds in your system. You can get a listing of the nodes in this device tree with the dev and ls commands. dev is similar to the unix cd command and is used to change between the nodes in the Open Firmware device tree (simi- lar to a file system). ls of course is similar to the unix ls command and is used to list the contents of the current device node. To get a listing of all the devices available in your system, use the following commands: 0 dev / 0 ls Open Firmware has device aliases which are simple names for the full hardware path to a device (similar to alias in csh(1) ). You can find out what device aliases Apple created on your machine with the devalias com- mand. For example, here are the devaliases on a PowerMacintosh 7300: 0 devalias vci0 /chaos@F0000000 pci1 /bandit@F2000000 pci2 /bandit@F4000000 fd /bandit/gc/swim3 kbd /bandit/gc/via-cuda/adb/keyboard ttya /bandit/gc/escc/ch-a ttyb /bandit/gc/escc/ch-b enet /bandit/gc/mace scsi /bandit/gc/53c94 scsi-int /bandit/gc/mesh ok On most systems, you'll find the devices you're looking for. Typical aliases are: Note that some of these items are the device itself, and some are a bus. When you only have the devalias to a bus, you need to specify which device on that bus you want to use. You can use the Open Firmware dev and ls commands. For example, here are the devices on the internal SCSI bus of a PowerMacintosh 7300: 0 dev scsi-int 0 ls FF83C850: /sd@0,0 FF83D480: /st@0,0 ok In this case, Open Firmware seems to be saying there are two devices, both at address zero (one is a SCSI disk `sd@0,0' and the other is a SCSI tape `st@0,0 ).' Unfortunately, older systems will only list the naming convention and not the actual devices currently connected, but that's OK -- we've got more tricks up our sleeve. If you've got ATA/IDE drives, you have all the device information you need (since Apple only ever ships drives as ``master'' which is typically something like ata-disk@0, ATA-Disk@0, atapi-disk, or disk@0 ). You can find out the devices on your SCSI bus with the show-children com- mand: 0 dev scsi-int 0 show-children Target 0 Unit 0 Disk IBM DCAS-32160 S65A Target 3 Unit 0 Removable Read Only device SONY CD-ROM CDU-8005 1.0j ok Open Firmware calls SCSI IDs ``Target''. The ``Unit'' number is the Log- ical Unit Number (LUN). This is almost always zero. Thus, this PowerMa- cintosh system has an IBM hard drive (DCAS-32160) at SCSI ID 0, and a Sony CD-ROM drive (CDU-8005) at SCSI ID 3. Now, we've got enough information to construct the device name for Open Firmware. Just stick everything together to describe to Open Firmware what you want. For example, Open Firmware calls the CD-ROM drive in this system scsi-int/sd@3. To determine if a device is bootable, type: 0 dev scsi-int/sd@3 0 words load write read seek close open write-blocks read-blocks max-transfer block-size dma-sync dma-map-out dma-map-in dma-free dma-alloc ok If the word ``open'' is present in the list, then the device is almost certainly bootable. Next, you need to figure out what partition Open Firmware thinks your bootloader is located on if you're going to boot from a disk. If you're using a ``partition zero'' bootloader, the answer is obvious: 0. Thus, your boot-device for the NetBSD/macppc CD-R image on an Open Firmware 1.0.5 system would be scsi-int/sd@3:0 since the image has a `partition zero' bootloader. Other situations get a little trickier, as we know of no way to get a partition map from within Open Firmware, and it uses a different number- ing scheme than either NetBSD or MacOS 9 (or earlier). You can use pdisk to get a listing of the partitions on a disk. See the Partitioning HOW- TO for help: http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/partitioning.html#pdisk Typically, MS-DOS and ISO9660 formatted disks have their file systems at partition 1. Typically, Drive Setup formatted disks have their file sys- tems starting at partition number 9. Often, if you omit the partition number, Open Firmware looks in the first partition it understands holding a valid file system. Open Firmware uses a comma (,) to separate the partition number from the filename. It uses a backslash (the \ character) to separate directories. The bootloader uses forward slashes (the / character) to separate direc- tories when specifying the boot-file. Thus, to specify the top of the file system on a CD-ROM in the example PowerMacintosh 7300 system, you'd use: scsi-int/sd@3:,\ Now, to confirm that you and Open Firmware are looking at the same files, you can get a directory listing of the file system on your device with the dir command. This command is only useful with file systems that Open Firmware understands and is able to boot from. On Open Firmware 1.0.5, 1.1.22, and 2.0.x systems, you can use dir on ISO9660 (not hybrid) and MS-DOS file systems. On Open Firmware 2.4, you can use it on HFS, HFS+, hybrid, ISO9960, and MS-DOS file systems. On Open Firmware 3, you can use it on HFS, HFS+, hybrid (not pure ISO9660), and MS-DOS file systems. The one exception to this rule is that Open Firmware cannot list files on a disk with a `partition zero' bootloader (including the NetBSD/macppc CD-R image and installation floppies). 0 dir fd:,\ FINDER .DAT 022 2 2B8 DESKTOP . 022 0 0 RESOURCE.FRK 012 3 0 NETBSD~1.GZ 020 5 1FDFCA TRASH . 010 B00 0 OFWBOOT .XCF 020 A75 D8F4 ok You can see that this MS-DOS formatted disk has a bunch of stuff, as well as the two important files: NETBSD~1.GZ and OFWBOOT.XCF. Note that MacOS shortened netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz to NETBSD~1.GZ since MS-DOS file systems can only natively hold 8 characters for the filename. Note: Keep in mind that Open Firmware is often case-sensitive when it comes to filenames. Note: You may need to append a ;1 to the filename when using a ISO 9660 file system. This ``version number'' is part of the ISO 9660 specification and will show up in the directory listing if it is present on the disk. For example: 0 boot cd:,\OFWBOOT.XCF;1 NETBSD.MACPPC;1 If the dir command showed you the files you're looking for, then you've figure out how to tell Open Firmware to look for your bootloader! In this case, your `boot-device' is `fd:,\OFWBOOT.XCF' and your `boot-file' is `fd:,/NETBSD~1.GZ'. For additional help, see ofwboot(8) and the FAQ on topics like how to use the Open Firmware command environment and how to boot from a device attached to a PCI card which has Open Firmware support: http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/faq.html#ofw-use http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/faq.html#boot-pci Examples of Open Firmware boot commands Here are some examples of the commands you might use to boot your system: o Booting the NetBSD/macppc install CD-R (Open Firmware 1.0.5, Open Firmware 1.1.22, Open Firmware 2.0.x, Open Firmware 2.4) Here are some examples of what you might use to boot from CD-ROM (Apple usually sets their CD-ROM drives to SCSI ID 3): 0 boot cd:0 NETBSD.MACPPC 0 boot scsi-int/sd@3:0 NETBSD.MACPPC 0 boot scsi/sd@3:0 NETBSD.MACPPC 0 boot ata/atapi-disk:0 NETBSD.MACPPC 0 boot ide1/disk@0:0 NETBSD.MACPPC o Booting the NetBSD/macppc install CD-R (Open Firmware 3) 0 boot cd:,\ofwboot.xcf netbsd.macppc o Booting the NetBSD install floppies (Open Firmware 1.0.5, Open Firmware 1.1.22, Open Firmware 2.0.x, Open Firmware 2.4) The first floppy disk has a `partition zero' bootloader. When it has loaded the kernel, it will ask you to insert the second floppy disk. Note: This is not a normal MacOS boot floppy -- you must enter Open Firmware and type a boot command. All you need to do is: 0 boot fd:0 It is common to see ``READ TIMEOUT@'' from the floppy. This means that Open Firmware is having difficulty reading the media. See the section below on Common Problems and Error Messages for more informa- tion about this and what you can do to get a successful boot. You can eject a floppy by typing: 0 eject fd o Booting an IDE or SCSI drive with an HFS or HFS+ partition (Open Firmware 2.4, Open Firmware 3) MacOS drives have several system-level partitions reserved for MacOS drivers. You may find that your first HFS or HFS+ partition might be as high as partition 9. You may need to keep trying higher partition numbers until you find the one that has your bootloader. You can use pdisk to print out your partition map: http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/partitioning.html#pdisk You should use the Open Firmware dir command to get a directory list- ing of the files on your hard drive. If bootloader is on a different partition from the NetBSD kernel, you will need to specify where to find the kernel. Remember, that SCSI Zip disks are usually ID 5 or 6. Internal hard drives are usually SCSI ID 0. Here are some examples of what you might use to boot the installer kernel located on an HFS or HFS+ partition: 0 boot hd:9,\ofwboot.xcf netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz 0 boot scsi/sd@0:9,\ofwboot.xcf netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz 0 boot ide0/disk@0:10,\ofwboot.xcf netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz 0 boot ultra1:9,ofwboot.xcf netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz o Booting a custom CD-ROM (All Open Firmware versions) Open Firmware doesn't understand long filenames (created with the RockRidge and Joliet extensions), so you may need to figure out what your file is called. You should use the Open Firmware dir command to get a listing of the files on your CD. For instance, Toast for MacOS creates CDs with long filenames, but uses MS-DOS style short names as well. Instead of referencing netbsd-GENERIC you would need to open NETBSD-G.ENE The mkisofs pro- gram has a similar problem, netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz becomes NETBSD-GENERIC_MD.GZ. Another thing to note is that you must use the same case when speci- fying the filename to load that Open Firmware uses. Also, keep in mind what format your CD-R has to be for your version of Open Firmware (pure ISO versus hybrid ISO/HFS). We'll assume that you've wisely renamed your kernel to netbsd.gz to avoid many of these name issues. Here are some examples of what you might use to boot from CD-ROM (Apple usually sets their CD-ROM drives to SCSI ID 3): 0 boot cd:,\ofwboot.xcf netbsd.gz 0 boot scsi-int/sd@3:,\OFWBOOT.XCF NETBSD.GZ 0 boot scsi/sd@3:,\OFWBOOT.XCF NETBSD.GZ 0 boot ata/atapi-disk:,\OFWBOOT.XCF NETBSD.GZ 0 boot ide1/disk@0:,\OFWBOOT.XCF NETBSD.GZ o Booting an MS-DOS floppy (Open Firmware 1.0.5, Open Firmware 1.1.22, Open Firmware 2.0.x, Open Firmware 2.4) Note: This is not a normal MacOS boot floppy -- you must enter Open Firmware and type a boot command. Use the Open Firmware dir command to get a listing of the files on the floppy. Typically you'll find filenames like OFWBOOT.XCF and NETBSD~1.GZ. 0 boot fd:,\OFWBOOT.XCF NETBSD~1.GZ You can eject a floppy by typing: 0 eject fd o Booting over the ethernet (Open Firmware 1.0.5, Open Firmware 1.1.22, Open Firmware 2.0.x, Open Firmware 2.4) You can try the simple form (i.e. that you are booting from ether- net): 0 boot enet:,ofwboot.xcf Or you may be more specific, specifying the bootloader filename and the kernel name: 0 boot enet:,ofwboot.xcf enet:,/netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz Note: Some Open Firmware 1.0.5 machines have their MAC address stored incorrectly. Make sure that your netboot server is using the same MAC address that your macppc client is using. See the section on Setting up Open Firmware 1 and 2 to boot NetBSD to figure out your MAC address. Note: Some machines cannot load compressed kernels over ethernet. Uncompress them first. o Booting over the ethernet (Open Firmware 3) You can try the simple form (i.e. that you are booting from ether- net): 0 boot enet:0 Or you may be more specific, specifying the bootloader filename and the kernel name: 0 boot enet:0,ofwboot.xcf enet:0,/netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz o Booting an IDE or SCSI drive with a `partition zero bootloader' (Open Firmware 1.0.5, Open Firmware 1.1.22, Open Firmware 2.0.x, Open Firmware 2.4) You do not specify a file to load, since the `partition zero' booloader knows what to do. You would boot such a system if you have dumped the CD-R image to your drive, or if you have an already- installed NetBSD/macppc system Remember, that SCSI Zip disks are usually ID 5 or 6. Internal hard drives are usually SCSI ID 0. Here are some examples of what you might use to boot from such a drive: 0 boot zip:0 0 boot scsi-int/sd@0:0 0 boot scsi/sd@0:0 0 boot ata/ata-disk@0:0 0 boot ata/ATA-Disk@0:0 0 boot ide0/disk@0:0 Example of a normal boot Of course, a lot of the information in this example depends on your model and what your boot method is, but we'll include this anyways just so you get an idea of what to expect (user-typed commands are in bold).

[vt100] Erase is backspace. (I)nstall, (S)hell or (H)alt ? Common Problems and Error Messages This is a brief list of some of the Open Firmware problems you may run into. See the NetBSD/macppc FAQ for a thorough list. http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/faq.html#boot-trouble Note: You may find it necessary to remove all non-Apple devices from your machine. Some users have found this necessary. o Black screen If your system is a PowerBook, NetBSD may have turned down the brightness of the backlight. Use the buttons to turn your brightness back up. Otherwise, you need a serial console. See the section entitled Open Firmware 1 and 2 System Preparation o Grey screen with flashing question mark This means that your system is trying to boot MacOS. You might get to this state if you didn't properly enter Open Firmware, or if your Open Firmware boot command has bad syntax. If you typed a bad boot command, Open Firmware tries to boot from the value stored in the boot-device variable, whose default value is the MacOS ROM. The grey screen with the icon is generated by the MacOS ROM. A flashing question-mark or broken folder means that your machine is looking for a bootable MacOS file system, but can't find one. A globe icon means that your machine is looking for a netboot server. A happy face or spinning disc means it's starting to boot MacOS. The boot floppy does not have a bootable MacOS file system, it has a bootable NetBSD file system. Reboot, re-enter Open Firmware and check your syntax carefully. Note: Don't forget to check your Open Firmware environment vari- ables, as they may have been changed by your brief excursion into MacOS. o Information on your screen seems garbled or out of sync If you have a PowerMacintosh 7300 through 8600, then you need to read the section on System Disk and the patches it applies. See the sec- tion entitled Open Firmware 1 and 2 System Preparation If you have a Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh, Open Firmware does not work with the internal display, you will need to set up a serial con- sole. o ``DEFAULT CATCH!'' This is a general message from Open Firmware to the effect that it had trouble loading a file. If your machine is Open Firmware version 1.0.5, 2.0.x, or 2.4, this error does sometimes appear randomly. You might try the boot command a second time (this is known to work on some models). It's also an indication that either your floppy disk is bad, or the floppy drive is bad. Try doing a low-level format on the floppy, re-copy the files, and try again. There are several models that cannot be booted while using the on- board video and keyboard. Try using a serial console. o ``CLAIM failed'' This is a general message from Open Firmware to the effect that it failed to allocate some memory or memory is messed up. First, make sure you have the Open Firmware variable load-base set correctly. If your system is Open Firmware version 1.0.5, 1.1.22, 2.0.x, or 2.4, see the section above on Setting up Open Firmware 1 and 2 to boot NetBSD Do not change load-base on an Open Firmware 3 system. Reset your system and try using a different boot command (this is the only way some people have gotten their Open Firmware 2.4 systems to work): 0 0 bootr boot-device boot-file If you tried one boot command and it failed, then you tried a second and got the CLAIM failed message, then this is an indication that you should reboot between attempts. Use the Open Firmware reset-all com- mand. Contradictorily, if your machine is Open Firmware version 1.0.5, 2.0.x or 2.4, this error does sometimes appear randomly. You might try the boot command a second time (this is known to work on some models). There are several models that cannot be booted while using the on- board video and keyboard. Try using a serial console. o ``can't OPEN'' Open Firmware either can't open the device you specified (because it is not present or the device path is mistyped) or the file you speci- fied. Check your typing and check to make sure that the media has the files you think it has. Use the NetBSD pdisk command to list the partition map and the Open Firmware dir command to verify that the file(s) you tried accessing are really there. o ``unrecognized Client Program formatstate not valid'' This is a general Open Firmware error message indicating that the filename you tried to open either doesn't exist or is in the wrong format. For Open Firmware 1 and 2 machines, it must be an XCOFF file (such as ofwboot.xcf) and for Open Firmware 3 machines, it must be either XCOFF or ELF (such as a kernel). Make sure that you have use binary mode to FTP the files, and that they are properly uncom- pressed. o ``bad partition number, using 0no bootable HFS partition'' If you're trying to boot an Open Firmware 1.0.5, 1.1.22, or 2.0.x system, this probably means that your media (i.e. hard drive or CD- ROM) has an HFS file system on it (such as a hybrid CD-R or a hard drive with MacOS partitions). o ``READ TIMEOUT@'' Open Firmware is having trouble reading your floppy disk. Things to try: - Try booting from the floppy again - Try a different floppy disk - Try writing the floppy on the same machine you're trying to boot - Clean the floppy drive - Use another boot method As disk drives get older, especially with portables, they can get a little bit out of alignment so that they do not consistently read disks written on other floppy drives. Strongly consider writing the floppies on the same machine that will be reading them. o ``TFTP timeout'' Either the server's TFTP server isn't running, or you're using a model with Open Firmware 1.0.5 and not specifying the location of the bootloader. Unfortunately, on the early models, ofwboot.xcf gets confused and doesn't work right unless you load it explicitly from the boot-device, even if the bootp or DHCP server provides the cor- rect information. You need to boot with a command like: 0 boot enet:,ofwboot.xcf o ``enet:,/netbsd.ram.gz: Inappropriate file type or format'' Some systems booting over ethernet can't load compressed kernels. Use gunzip(1) to uncompress the kernel before attempting to netboot. o Bootloader hangs before the copyright notice and the kernel configu- ration You forgot to set real-base in Open Firmware or it got erased by your booting into MacOS. Make sure you have the Open Firmware variable real-base set cor- rectly. If your system is Open Firmware version 1.0.5, 1.1.22, 2.0.x, or 2.4, see the section above on Setting up Open Firmware 1 and 2 to boot NetBSD Do not set real-base on an Open Firmware 3 system. o Hang after configuring devices, but before doing anything else Actually, this can have many causes. The most likely is a keyboard problem. First, try plugging the USB keyboard directly into the com- puter (i.e. not through a hub) and unplugging the mouse. If you're trying a model that's not on the supported list (such as a new laptop model), they keyboard may not be supported yet. Milestone If you've reached this point, then you must've gotten the NetBSD installer to boot. Congratulations! That was the hard part. From now through the rest of this document, there should be no more Open Firmware specific problems, so read everything because it applies to all models. Running the sysinst installation program 1. Introduction Using sysinst, installing NetBSD is a relatively easy process. You still should read this document and have it in hand when doing the installation process. This document tries to be a good guideline for the installation and as such covers many details for the sake of completeness. Do not let this discourage you; the install program is not hard to use. 2. General The following is a walk-through of the steps you will take while getting NetBSD installed on your hard disk. sysinst is a menu driven installation system that allows for some freedom in doing the installation. Sometimes, questions will be asked and in many cases the default answer will be displayed in brackets (``[ ]'') after the question. If you wish to stop the installation, you may press CONTROL-C at any time, but if you do, you'll have to begin the installation process again from scratch by running the /sysinst pro- gram from the command prompt. It is not necessary to reboot. 3. Quick install First, let's describe a quick install. The other sections of this document go into the installation procedure in more detail, but you may find that you do not need this. If you want detailed instruc- tions, skip to the next section. This section describes a basic installation, using a CD-ROM install as an example. o What you need. - The distribution sets (in this example, they are on CD). - Some form of bootable media, described above. - A CD-ROM drive (SCSI or ATAPI), a hard disk and a minimum of 16 MB of memory installed. - The hard disk should have at least 200 + n megabytes of space free, where n is the number of megabytes of main mem- ory in your system. If you wish to install the X Window System as well, you will need at least 120 MB more. o The Quick Installation - Boot the system as described above. You should be at the sysinst main menu. .***********************************************. * NetBSD-3.0.3 Install System * * * *a: Install NetBSD to hard disk * * b: Upgrade NetBSD on a hard disk * * c: Re-install sets or install additional sets * * d: Reboot the computer * * e: Utility menu * * x: Exit Install System * .***********************************************. - If you wish, you can configure some network settings immedi- ately by choosing the Utility menu and then Configure network. It isn't actually required at this point, but it may be more convenient. Go back to the main menu. - Choose Utility menu then Run /bin/sh for Open Firmware 3 systems. You'll need to create the NetBSD filesystem(s) and an fstab. Now exit the shell, return to the main menu, and choose Re-install. Choose install for Open Firmware 1.0.5, 1.1.22, 2.0.x, and 2.4 systems. - You will be guided through some steps regarding the setup of your disk, and the selection of distributed components to install. When in doubt, refer to the rest of this document for details. - After your disk has been prepared, choose CD-ROM as the medium. The default values for the path and device should be ok. - After all the files have been unpacked, go back to the main menu and select reboot. - Once the system reaches the Open Firmware prompt, you will need to type the correct command to boot from your hard drive. NetBSD will now boot. If you haven't already done so in sysinst, you should log in as root, and set a password for that account. You are also advised to edit the file /etc/rc.conf to match your system needs. - Your installation is now complete. - For configuring the X window system, if installed, see the files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc. Further information can be found on http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/x11.html 4. Booting NetBSD You may want to read the boot messages, to notice your disk's name and capacity. Its name will be something like sd0 or wd0 and the geometry will be printed on a line that begins with its name. As mentioned above, you may need your disk's geometry when creating NetBSD 's partitions. You will also need to know the name, to tell sysinst on which disk to install. The most important thing to know is that wd0 is NetBSD 's name for your first IDE disk, wd1 the sec- ond, etc. sd0 is your first SCSI disk, sd1 the second, etc. Once NetBSD has booted and printed all the boot messages, you will be presented with a welcome message and a main menu. It will also include instructions for using the menus. 5. Network configuration If you will not use network operation during the installation, but you do want your machine to be configured for networking once it is installed, you should first go to the Utility menu, and select the Configure network option. If you only want to temporarily use net- working during the installation, you can specify these parameters later. If you are not using the Domain Name System (DNS), you can give an empty response in reply to answers relating to this. 6. Preparing a disk which will be used for Open Firmware 3 systems Skip this step if you are installing NetBSD on an Open Firmware 1 or 2 system. Go to the Utility Menu, and select the Run /bin/sh option which will give you a shell prompt. From this shell prompt, you will do some of the steps that the normal install procedure runs automatically. Unfortunately, at the moment, our install tools aren't smart enough to deal with drives with Apple Partition Maps and will overwrite important information describing your partitions. 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 '^?' Type the following command (replacing wd0 with the name of your des- tination hard drive): # disklabel wd0 This will print out the partition info that was generated by pdisk, Drive Setup, or Disk Utility. Note that, as discussed above in the Partitioning your hard drive for NetBSD section, your A/UX Root typ- ically is the first partition (a) and your A/UX Swap typically is the second partition (b). You may also find that your A/UX User partition is the seventh partition (g). For example: # disklabel wd0 [...] # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs] a: 426613 837432 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 1622*- 2449*) b: 204800 632632 swap # (Cyl. 1226*- 1622*) c: 2134305 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 4136*) d: 426616 1216 HFS # (Cyl. 2*- 829*) e: 204800 427832 HFS # (Cyl. 829*- 1226*) f: 21 2134284 unknown # (Cyl. 4136*- 4136*) g: 870239 1264045 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 2449*- 4136*) disklabel: boot block size 0 disklabel: super block size 0 Now, you need to create file systems on the partitions that NetBSD will be using. Do not modify any partitions labeled HFS, UFS, or unknown. The par- titions you will be using have their fstype listed as 4.2BSD. Run the newfs command on the 4.2BSD partitions: # newfs /dev/wd0a newfs: /dev/wd0a: not a character-special device Warning: 120 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated /dev/wd0a: 426612 sectors in 827 cylinders of 4 tracks, 129 sectors 208.3MB in 52 cyl groups (16 c/g, 4.03MB/g, 1024 i/g) super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at: 32, 8432, 16832, 25232, 33056, 41456, 49856, 58256, 66080, 74480, 82880, 91280, 99104, 107504, 115904, 124304, 132128, 140528, 148928, 157328, 165152, 173552, 181952, 190352, 198176, 206576, 214976, 223376, 231200, 239600, 248000, 256400, 264224, 272624, 281024, 289424, 297248, 305648, 314048, 322448, 330272, 338672, 347072, 355472, 363296, 371696, 380096, 388496, 396320, 404720, 413120, 421520, newfs: ioctl (WDINFO): Invalid argument newfs: /dev/wd0a: can't rewrite disk label You can ignore the ~ `not a character-special device', ~ `sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated', ~ `ioctl (WDINFO): Invalid argument', and ~ `can't rewrite disk label' warnings. Now you need to mount your destination root partition: # mount /dev/wd0a /mnt Make an fstab file for your new system (right now, you only really need to include /, /usr, and swap), for example: # mkdir /mnt/etc # cat /mnt/etc/fstab /dev/wd0a / ffs rw 1 1 /dev/wd0b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/wd0g /usr ffs rw 1 2 If you mess up while typing, you can press CONTROL-U to erase every- thing on the current line, or CONTROL-C to cancel the file creation, so you can start over. CONTROL-D finishes and writes the file to disk. Great, now create the mountpoints for the file systems you listed in the fstab: # mkdir /mnt/usr Clean up and return to sysinst: # cd / # umount /mnt # exit 7. Installation drive selection and parameters To start the installation onto a dedicated NetBSD drive (Open Firmware 1 or 2), select Install NetBSD to hard disk from the main menu. To start the installation onto a drive with an Apple Parti- tion Map (Open Firmware 3), select Re-install sets or install additional sets from the main menu. The first thing is to identify the disk on which you want to install NetBSD. sysinst will report a list of disks it finds and ask you for your selection. Depending on how many disks are found, you may get a different message. You should see disk names like wd0, wd1, sd0 or sd1. If sysinst reports I can not find any hard disk for use by NetBSD or the drive you wish to install onto is missing, then you should look at the FAQ entry http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/faq.html#nodisk 8. Partitioning the disk You can skip a few steps, down to `Getting the distribution sets', if you are installing onto a drive with an Apple Partition Map (Open Firmware 3), i.e. you selected Re-install sets or install additional sets from the main menu. 9. Editing the NetBSD disklabel The partition table of the NetBSD part of a disk is called a disklabel. In actuality, NetBSD/macppc uses an Apple Partition Map. The installer creates something like a real Apple Partition Map, but it is not compatible with Mac OS or Open Firmware, which is one of the reasons why you cannot use this installer to partition a disk that can be used with Mac OS or Open Firmware 3 systems. There are 4 layouts for the NetBSD part of the disk that you can pick from: Standard, Standard with X, Custom and Use Existing. The first two use a set of default values (that you can change) suitable for a normal installation, possibly including X. With the Custom option you can specify everything yourself. The last option uses the partition info already present on the disk. You will be presented with the current layout of the NetBSD diskla- bel, and given a chance to change it. For each partition, you can set the type, offset and size, block and fragment size, and the mount point. The type that NetBSD uses for normal file storage is called 4.2BSD. A swap partition has a special type called swap. Some partitions in the disklabel have a fixed purpose. a Root partition (/) b Swap partition. c The NetBSD portion of the disk. d-p Available for other use. Traditionally, g is the par- tition mounted on /usr, but this is historical prac- tice and not a fixed value. You will then be asked to name your disk's disklabel. The default response will be ok for most purposes. If you choose to name it something different, make sure the name is a single word and con- tains no special characters. You don't need to remember this name. 10. Preparing your hard disk You are now at the point of no return. Nothing has been written to your disk yet, but if you confirm that you want to install NetBSD, your hard drive will be modified. If you are sure you want to pro- ceed, enter yes at the prompt. The install program will now label your disk and make the file sys- tems you specified. The file systems will be initialized to contain NetBSD bootstrapping binaries and configuration files. You will see messages on your screen from the various NetBSD disk preparation tools that are running. There should be no errors in this section of the installation. If there are, restart from the beginning of the installation process. Otherwise, you can continue the installa- tion program after pressing the return key. Note: The bootstrapping code installed in this step will not boot a machine with Open Firmware 3. You will still need to have ofwboot.xcf on an HFS or HFS+ partition. 11. Getting the distribution sets The NetBSD distribution consists of a number of sets, that come in the form of gzipped tarfiles. A few sets must be installed for a working system, others are optional. At this point of the installa- tion, you will be presented with a menu which enables you to choose from one of the following methods of installing the sets. Some of these methods will first load the sets on your hard disk, others will extract the sets directly. For all these methods, the first step is making the sets available for extraction, and then do the actual installation. The sets can be made available in a few different ways. The following sections describe each of those methods. After reading the one about the method you will be using, you can continue to the section labeled `Extracting the distribution sets'. 12. Installation using ftp To be able to install using ftp, you first need to configure your network setup, if you haven't already at the start of the install procedure. sysinst will do this for you, asking you if you want to use DHCP, and if not to provide data like IP address, hostname, etc. If you do not have name service set up for the machine that you are installing on, you can just press RETURN in answer to these ques- tions, and DNS will not be used. You will also be asked to specify the host that you want to transfer the sets from, the directory on that host, the account name and password used to log into that host using ftp, and optionally a proxy server to use. If you did not set up DNS when answering the questions to configure networking, you will need to specify an IP address instead of a hostname for the ftp server. sysinst will proceed to transfer all the default set files from the remote site to your hard disk. 13. Installation using NFS To be able to install using NFS, you first need to configure your network setup, if you haven't already at the start of the install procedure. sysinst will do this for you, asking you if you want to use DHCP, and if not to provide data like IP address, hostname, etc. If you do not have name service set up for the machine that you are installing on, you can just press RETURN in answer to these ques- tions, and DNS will not be used. You will also be asked to specify the host that you want to transfer the sets from, and the directory on that host that the files are in. This directory should be mountable by the machine you are installing on, i.e. correctly exported to your machine. If you did not set up DNS when answering the questions to configure networking, you will need to specify an IP address instead of a hostname for the NFS server. 14. Installation from CD-ROM When installing from a CD-ROM, you will be asked to specify the device name for your CD-ROM player (usually cd0), and the directory name on the CD-ROM where the distribution files are. sysinst will then check if the files are indeed available in the specified location, and proceed to the actual extraction of the sets. 15. Installation from an unmounted file system In order to install from a local file system, you will need to spec- ify the device that the file system resides on (for example sd1e) the type of the file system, and the directory on the specified file system where the sets are located. sysinst will then check if it can indeed access the sets at that location. Remember, NetBSD/macppc doesn't grok HFS or HFS+ partitions 16. Installation from a local directory This option assumes that you have already done some preparation yourself. The sets should be located in a directory on a file sys- tem that is already accessible. sysinst will ask you for the name of this directory. 17. Extracting the distribution sets After the install sets containing the NetBSD distribution have been made available, you can either extract all the sets (a full instal- lation), or only extract sets that you have selected. In the latter case, you will be shown the currently selected sets, and given the opportunity to select the sets you want. Some sets always need to be installed (kern, base) and etc they will not be shown in this selection menu. Before extraction begins, you can elect to watch the files being extracted; the name of each file that is extracted will be shown. This can slow down the installation process considerably, especially on machines with slow graphics consoles or serial consoles. If you are installing using the Re-install sets or install additional sets option, then you will need to create the device nodes in /dev, otherwise, all the necessary device node files will be created. If you have already configured networking, you will be asked if you want to use this configuration for normal operation. If so, these values will be installed in the network configuration files. The next menu will allow you to select the time zone that you're in, to make sure your clock has the right offset from UTC. Finally you will be asked to select a password encryption algorithm and can than set a password for the "root" account, to prevent the machine coming up without access restrictions. 18. Making the device nodes If you are installing using the Re-install sets or install additional sets option, then you will need to create the device nodes in /dev now. Otherwise, skip this step. Go to the main installation menu, and select Utility menu and then select the Run /bin/sh option, which will give you a shell prompt. 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 '^?' Type the following command (replacing wd0a with the partition name of your destination root partition): Now you need to mount your des- tination root partition: # mount /dev/wd0a /mnt # cd /mnt/dev # sh MAKEDEV all # cd / # umount /mnt # exit 19. Finalizing your installation Congratulations, you have successfully installed NetBSD 3.0.3. Finalizing Open Firmware settings Now, you can reboot to get to the Open Firmware prompt. You still need to figure out how to get Open Firmware to boot the operating system(s) of your choice. First, try to get NetBSD/macppc running. Using the methods described in the section Examples of Open Firmware boot commands figure out the boot command for your installation of NetBSD. Try booting. Once you've got the syntax worked out, decide which operating systems you'll be using regularly. o Booting NetBSD exclusively If you'll only be using NetBSD on your macppc system, then simply set the Open Firmware `boot-device' and `boot-file' variables to the val- ues you just determined. Also, you might want to enable the system to always boot NetBSD when powered on or reset. Once you set up auto-booting you can get to the Open Firmware prompt again by using the shutdown(8) command to halt the system. If you are not using a `partition zero' style boot scheme (e.g. Open Firmware 3 models), then you would type something like the following: 0 setenv auto-boot? true 0 setenv boot-device ide0/disk@0:8,\ofwboot.xcf 0 setenv boot-file ide0/disk@0:13,/netbsd 0 reset-all The last command resets the system so that these settings are stored. If you are using a `partition zero' style boot scheme, you would type something like the following: 0 setenv auto-boot? true 0 setenv boot-device scsi/sd@0:0 0 setenv boot-file netbsd 0 reset-all Replace scsi/sd@0:0 with the actual device you will be booting from. o Additional Open Firmware tips If you find that your system tries booting before your hard drive has spun up, try one of the two following `boot-command' settings: 0 setenv boot-command catch 5000 ms boot 0 setenv boot-command begin ['] boot catch 1000 ms cr again Also, you may be able to pause a system at the Open Firmware prompt if you have `auto-boot?' set to `true' by holding down any key while the system is resetting. Set the following `boot-command' (this may not work on system with Open Firmware 1.0.5) (this method should interrupt booting, even when holding down any key while using a serial console): 0 setenv boot-command key? invert if boot then o Booting NetBSD and MacOS X or Darwin Alas, this takes a little more work. Usually, when you select a sys- tem to boot in the ``Startup Disk'' panel of the ``System Preferences'' application, it stores the Open Firmware path to that device in the `boot-device' variable. So, instead of writing the NetBSD device path to Open Firmware, you'll store the paths to your operating systems in NVRAM. Open Firmware cannot deal with nested devalias entries. You must, therefore, enter the entire path to your device. See the NetBSD/macppc nvedit HOW-TO for more help: http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/nvedit.html 0 printenv boot-device boot-device /pci@f2000000/mac-io@17/ata-4@1f000/@0:10,\\:tbxi ok 0 nvalias osx /pci@f2000000/mac-io@17/ata-4@1f000/@0:10,\\:tbxi 0 nvalias bsd /pci@f2000000/mac-io@17/ata-4@1f000/@0:9,ofwboot.xcf 0 nvstore 0 setenv use-nvramrc? true 0 reset-all Now, when the system is reset, it will stop at the Open Firmware prompt and you can type one of the following to boot an operating system: 0 boot osx 0 boot bsd o Booting NetBSD and MacOS 9 or earlier For Open Firmware 3 systems, the procedure is identical to the sec- tion above on Booting NetBSD and MacOS X or Darwin For older systems, you're in for more hassle. Booting an Open Firmware 1.0.5, 2.0.x, or 2.4 system into MacOS 9 or earlier will erase some or all of your Open Firmware settings. Try it and see which Open Firmware variables survive. If only `real-base' is lost, you can compile a kernel that does not require changing the `real-base'. Just build a kernel that is less than 4 MB uncompressed. This is easy if you remove all of the USB devices from the config file. Once you've got a smaller kernel, just follow the procedure in the section above on Booting NetBSD and MacOS X or Darwin If everything is lost when you boot into MacOS 9 or earlier, you will need to make a custom BootVars configuration that you run before try- ing to boot NetBSD/macppc since System Disk does not preserve enough information when it saves a configuration. 1. If your system supports System Disk, run it and click ``Save'' to install the NVRAMRC patches. 2. Run BootVars, click the ``All Variables'' button. 3. Fill in `real-base', `boot-device', `boot-file', `input-device', and `output-device'. 4. From the ``File'' menu, pick ``Save''. When you run this file, it will load BootVars with all your settings. To boot NetBSD click the ``Write&reboot'' button. 5. Now your system will always boot NetBSD. To boot MacOS, use the shutdown(8) command to halt the system at the Open Firmware prompt and use the Open Firmware ``bye'' or ``mac-boot'' command to boot MacOS. o Other boot techniques See the FAQ for some vague information on how to use the Linux yaboot system to boot NetBSD. http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/faq.html#yaboot 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-only. When the sys- tem 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 vt100 (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 file system 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=vt100 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 network interface, where your on- board interfaces may be one of mc0, bm0, tlp0 or gem0. For example: ifconfig_mc0="inet 123.45.67.89 netmask 255.255.255.0" or, if you have myname.my.dom in /etc/hosts: ifconfig_mc0="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 adventur- ous) run named(8). See resolv.conf(5) or named(8) for more informa- tion. Instead of manually configuring network and naming service, DHCP can be used by setting dhclient=YES in /etc/rc.conf. 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 cre- ate an account for yourself (see below) and protect it and the ``root'' account with good passwords. By default, root login from the network is disabled (even via ssh(1)). One way to become root over the network is to log in as a different user that belongs to group ``wheel'' (see group(5)) and use su(1) to become root. 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 vipw(8) and pwd_mkdb(8) if you want to edit the password database. 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. Also, you may want to read through the NetBSD/macppc X11R6 FAQ. http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc/x11.html 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. o More information on the package system is at http://www.NetBSD.org/Documentation/software/packages.html o A list of available packages suitable for browsing is at ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/README.html o Precompiled binaries can be found at ,: ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/ usually in the 3.0.3/macppc/All subdir. You can install them with the following commands under sh(1): # PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/3.0.3/macppc/All # export PKG_PATH # pkg_add -v tcsh # pkg_add -v bash # pkg_add -v perl # pkg_add -v apache # pkg_add -v kde # pkg_add -v mozilla ... If you are using csh(1) then replace the first two lines with the following: # setenv PKG_PATH ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/3.0.3/macppc/All ... The above commands will install the Tenex-csh and Bourne Again shell, the Perl programming language, Apache web server, KDE desktop environment and the Mozilla web browser as well as all the packages they depend on. o 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, see the README and doc/pkgsrc.txt files in the extraction directory (e.g. /usr/pkgsrc/README) for more infor- mation. 6. Misc o Edit /etc/mail/aliases to forward root mail to the right place. Don't forget to run newaliases(1) afterwards. o 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 infor- mation. If you prefer postfix as MTA, adjust /etc/mailer.conf. o Edit /etc/rc.local to run any local daemons you use. o Many of the /etc files are documented in section 5 of the man- ual; so just invoking # man 5 filename is likely to give you more information on these files. Upgrading a previously-installed NetBSD System The upgrade to NetBSD 3.0.3 is a binary upgrade; it can be quite diffi- cult to update the system from an earlier version by recompiling from source, primarily due to interdependencies in the various components. To do the upgrade, you must boot from the installer kernel using one of the methods described above. You must also have at least the base and kern binary distribution sets available, so that you can upgrade with them, using one of the upgrade methods described above. Finally, you must have sufficient disk space available to install the new binaries. Since files already installed on the system are overwritten in place, you only need additional free space for files which weren't previously installed or to account for growth of the sets between releases. If you have a few megabytes free on each of your root (/) and /usr partitions, you should have enough space. Since upgrading involves replacing the kernel, the boot blocks on your NetBSD partition, and most of the system binaries, it has the potential to cause data loss. You are strongly advised to back up any important data on the NetBSD partition or on another operating system's partition on your disk before beginning the upgrade process. Since installation of the bootloader will prevent Mac OS from using the disk and will prevent Open Firmware 3 machines from booting, there is an option to bypass this step. Make sure you know whether or not to install the bootloader. The upgrade procedure using the sysinst tool is similar to an installa- tion, but without the hard disk partitioning. sysinst will attempt to merge the settings stored in your /etc directory with the new version of NetBSD. Getting the binary sets is done in the same manner as the installation procedure; refer to the installation part of the document for how to do this. Also, some sanity checks are done, i.e. file sys- tems are checked before unpacking the sets. After a new kernel has been copied to your hard disk, your machine is a complete NetBSD 3.0.3 system. However, that doesn't mean that you're finished with the upgrade process. You will probably want to update the set of device nodes you have in /dev. If you've changed the contents of /dev by hand, you will need to be careful about this, but if not, you can just cd into /dev, and run the command: # sh MAKEDEV all Finally, you will want to delete old binaries that were part of the ver- sion of NetBSD that you upgraded from and have since been removed from the NetBSD distribution. 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 NetBSD 3.0.3. Issues affecting an upgrade from NetBSD 2.1 and older releases. It is very important that you populate the directory /etc/pam.d with appropriate configuration files for the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) because you will not be able to login any more otherwise. Using postinstall as described below will take care of this. Please refer to http://www.netbsd.org/guide/en/chap-pam.html for documentation about PAM. The following issues can generally be resolved by extracting the etc set into a temporary directory and running postinstall: postinstall -s /path/to/etc.tgz check postinstall -s /path/to/etc.tgz fix Issues fixed by postinstall: o Various files in /etc need upgrading. These include: - /etc/defaults/* - /etc/mtree/* - /etc/pam.d/* - /etc/daily - /etc/weekly - /etc/monthly - /etc/security - /etc/rc.subr - /etc/rc - /etc/rc.shutdown - /etc/rc.d/* The following issues need to be resolved manually: - The user `_pflogd' and the groups `_pflogd' and `authpf' need to be created. Using online NetBSD documentation Documentation is available if you first install the manual dis- tribution set. Traditionally, the ``man pages'' (documenta- tion) 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 informa- tion 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 indi- cate that the section is optional. If you don't ask for a par- ticular 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 documen- tation 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 possi- bly 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 mail- ing 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.
