INSTALLATION NOTES for NetBSD/mac68k 1.2.1 Be sure to read _ALL_ of this document before you try to install NetBSD/mac68k. What is NetBSD? ---- -- ------ The NetBSD Operating System is a fully functional UN*X-like system derrived from the Berkeley Networking Release 2 (Net/2), 4.4BSD-Lite, and 4.4BSD-Lite2 sources. NetBSD runs on many architectures and is being ported to more. 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 this release wouldn't have come about. The current release has built upon the successful NetBSD 1.1 release by integrating many bug fixes, adding new and updated kernel subsystems, and adding various userland enhancements. The results of these improvements is a stable operating system fit for production use and ready for the next phase of development. Significant changes include: Continuing the multi-platform tradition, the integration of the DEC Alpha port has been completed, and new ports to ARM and x68k have been added. NetBSD/sparc now supports 4m machines. NetBSD/amiga now supports the DraCo. Standard C Prototypes have been added to the Kernel. Kernel NTP (Network Time Protocol) phased lock loop support has been added. See http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ for more details. The PINT (PINT is not TWAIN) SCSI scanner driver interface has been integrated. See http://www.dol-esa.gov/~kstailey/pint for more details. A new SCSI medium changer driver and the `chio' program used to operate it has been added. The NFS subsystem now supports NFSv3. Several performance enhancements have been made to the networking subsystem. GCC, Libg++, and many other third party programs have been upgraded to more recent versions. Kernel interfaces have continued to be refined, and more subsystems and device drivers are shared among the different ports. You can look for this trend to continue. NetBSD 1.2 also includes some refinement to the NetBSD binary emulation system (which includes FreeBSD, HP-UX, iBCS2, Linux, OSF/1, SunOS, SVR4, Solaris and Ultrix compatibility), bringing NetBSD closer to the goal of making the emulation as accurate as possible. NetBSD 1.2.1 is an update of NetBSD 1.2. It fixes many bugs, but (with a few small exceptions) does not support any additional hardware or add new features. NetBSD 1.2 is the third "real" release of NetBSD for the mac68k. There is still a lot of work to be done and help is welcomed. Please jump in! The Future of NetBSD: --- ------ -- ------ The NetBSD Foundation has been incorporated as a non-profit organization. Its purpose is to encourage, foster and promote the free exchange of computer software, namely the NetBSD Operating System. The foundation will allow for many things to be handled more smoothly than could be done with our previous informal organization. In particular, it provides the framework to deal with other parties that wish to become involved in the NetBSD Project. The NetBSD Foundation will help improve the quality of NetBSD by: * providing better organization to keep track of development efforts, including co-ordination with groups working in related fields. * providing a framework to receive donations of goods and services and to own the resources necessary to run the NetBSD Project. * providing a better position from which to undertake promotional activities. * periodically organizing workshops for developers and other interested people to discuss ongoing work. We hope to have regular releases of the full binary and source trees, but these are difficult to coordinate, especially with all of the architectures which we now support! We hope to support even _more_ hardware in the future, and 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 will provide them, providing that they are well thought-out and increase the usability of the system. Above all, we hope to create a stable and accessible system, and to be responsive to the needs and desires of NetBSD users, because it is for and because of them that NetBSD exists.

NetBSD 1.2.1 Release Contents: ------ ----- ------- -------- The NetBSD 1.2.1 release is organized in the following way: .../NetBSD-1.2.1/ BUGS Known bugs list (incomplete and out of date). CHANGES Changes since NetBSD's last release (and before). LAST_MINUTE Last minute changes. MIRRORS A list of sites that mirror the NetBSD 1.2.1 distribution. README.files README describing the distribution's contents. TODO NetBSD's todo list (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 that NetBSD 1.2.1 has a binary distribution for. There are also 'README.export-control' files sprinkled liberally throughout the distribution tree, which point out that there are some portions of the distribution (e.g. those containing crypt(3)) that should not be exported from the United States, and that if you do export them, it's your fault, not ours. 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: dsrc121 This set contains the "domestic" sources. These sources contain export-restricted encryption code and should not be exported from the U.S. [ 140K gzipped, 655K uncompressed ] gsrc121 This set contains the "gnu" sources, including the source for the compiler, assembler, groff, and the other GNU utilities in the binary distribution sets. [ 7.1M gzipped, 30.4M uncompressed ] ksrc121 This set contains the sources to the NetBSD 1.2.1 kernel, config(8), config.old(8) and dbsym(8). [ 6.0M gzipped, 27.0M uncompressed ] ssrc121 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. [ 2.4M gzipped, 8.9M uncompressed ] src121 This set contains all of the NetBSD 1.2.1 sources which are not mentioned above. [ 9.3M gzipped, 41.6M uncompressed ] It is worth noting that unless all of the source distribution sets are installed (except the domestic set), you can't rebuild and install the system from scratch, straight out of the box. However, all that is required to rebuild the system in that case is a trivial modification to one Makefile. The source distribution sets are distributed as groups of files named "set_name.xx" where "set_name" is the distribution set name, and "xx" is the sequence number of the file, starting with "aa" for the first file in the distribution set, then "ab" for the next, and so on. All of these files except the last one of each set should be exactly 240,640 bytes long. (The last file is just long enough to contain the remainder of the data for that distribution set.) Catted together, the files belonging to a source distribution set comprise a gzipped tar file. If you want to look at list of the files contained in the set, you could use the command: cat set_name.?? | gunzip | tar tvf - or to actually extract the files contained in the set: cat set_name.?? | gunzip | tar xfp - In each of the source distribution set directories, there is a file named "CKSUMS" which contains the checksums of the files in that directory, as generated by the cksum(1) utility. You can use cksum to check the integrity of the archives, if you suspect that one of the files is corrupt and have access to a cksum binary. The mac68k-specific portion of the NetBSD 1.2.1 release is found in the "mac68k" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid out as follows: .../NetBSD-1.2.1/mac68k/ binary/ mac68k binary distribution sets; see below. security/ mac68k security distribution; see below. utils/ The mac68k installation utilities. The NetBSD/mac68k binary distribution sets contain the binaries which comprise the NetBSD 1.2.1 release for the mac68k. There are eight binary distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the "mac68k/binary" subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.2.1 distribution tree, and are as follows: netbsd12 The NetBSD/mac68k 1.2.1 kernel binary. You MUST install this file. It is the kernel that you need to boot the system. [ 436K gzipped, 900K uncompressed ] base121 The NetBSD/mac68k 1.2.1 base binary distribution. You MUST install this distribution set. It contains the base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the system to run and be minimally functional. It includes shared library support, and excludes everything described below. [ 7.2M gzipped, 20.7M uncompressed ] comp121 The NetBSD/mac68k Compiler tools; all of the tools relating to C and C++. This set includes the system include files (/usr/include), the linker, the compiler tool chain, 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. [ 5.1M gzipped, 16.7M uncompressed ] etc121 This distribution set contains the system configuration files that reside in /etc and in several other places. This set MUST be installed if you are installing the system from scratch, but should NOT be used if you are upgrading. (If you are upgrading, it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and CAREFULLY upgrade your configuration files by hand.) [ 68K gzipped, 350K uncompressed ] games121 This set includes the games and their manual pages. [ 2.7M gzipped, 6.8M uncompressed ] man121 This set includes all of the manual pages for the binaries and other software contained in the base set. Note that it does not include any of the manual pages that are included in the other sets. [ 0.9M gzipped, 3.4M uncompressed ] misc121 This set includes the system dictionaries (which are rather large), the typesettable document set, and man pages for other architectures which happen to be installed from the source tree by default. [ 1.8M gzipped, 6.3M uncompressed ] text121 This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools, including groff, all related programs, and their manual pages. [ 0.7M gzipped, 2.8M uncompressed ] The mac68k security distribution set is named "secr121" and can be found in the "mac68k/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.2.1 distribution tree. It contains the crypt libraries (for the DES encryption algorithm) and the binaries which depend on it. It can only be found on those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that can legally obtain it. (Remember, because of United States law, this distribution set may not be exported to locations outside of the United States and Canada.) [ 432K gzipped, 1.5M uncompressed ] The mac68k binary distribution sets are distributed as full .tar.gz files (without that extension). The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory. That is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e. replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xfp" from /. Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced. If you follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, this will be taken care of for you. NetBSD System Requirements and Supported Devices: ------ ------ ------------ --- --------- ------- NetBSD/mac68k 1.2 runs on several of the older Macintosh computers. 4MB of RAM should be sufficient to boot and the system can probably be squeezed onto a 40MB hard disk by leaving off a package or two. To actually do much compiling or anything more interesting than booting, at least 8MB of RAM and more disk space is recommended. About 60MB will be necessary to install all of the NetBSD 1.2 binary distribution (note that this does not count swap space!). Much more disk space is required to install the source and objects as well (about another 200-300MB as a guess). Supported models: Mac II, IIx, IIcx, IIci, SE/30, IIsi, IIvx, IIvi, Performa 550, Performa 600, LC III, LC 520, MacTV Supported devices on all of the above systems include: Internal SCSI bus and most SCSI tapes, hard drives, and CD-ROMs Internal sound--enough to beep on some machines, anyway Most basic NuBUS video cards (there have been some problems with some 24-bit color cards) Both internal serial ports ADB keyboards and mice Ethernet cards based on the Natl. Semiconductor 8390 (Asante, Apple, and a few others--problems still with ethernet and many NuBus video cards). If your 68030 system is not listed above, it may be because of a problem with accessing the ADB and it may still work with a serial console. Some of the known ones in this category: Classic II (Performa 200?) PowerBook 145, PowerBook 160 What isn't supported, but often asked about: 68040-based Macs. Work is in progress on these, but it is slow- going. This requires a new scsi driver and a new ethernet driver. When something is available, it will be announced on port-mac68k@netbsd.org. PowerPC-based Macs. This will be separate from this port. The PowerPC is a much different processor as is much of the hardware inside these machines. If you are interested in this, you might want to take a look at http://www.mklinux.apple.com/. Getting the NetBSD System on to Useful Media: ------- --- ------ ------ -- -- ------ ----- Installation is really only supported from the local Macintosh hard drive or from an AppleShare volume. This means that you'll need at least enough room for the largest file that you will have to install. This is the 7.2M base121 file. There has been talk of allowing an install from split files. If you have the time, desire, and knowledge, please feel free to add that functionality. If the install is being done from an AppleShare-mounted volume, the install utility must be in the same folder as the data files. Each distribution file is in "raw" UN*X format, and must be downloaded in binary mode. Common web browsers are not suitable for this task; FTP clients such as Fetch and Anarchie work fine, but be sure to specify a binary file transfer. You will also need to collect the MacOS tools: Mkfs, Installer, and NetBSD/mac68k Booter. These three are compacted and in binhex form as mkfs.cpt.hqx, Installer1.1.sea.hqx, and Booter1.9.4.sit.bin, respectively. Extract them as you would any other Macintosh applications. If you need them, the sources are in the "src" subdirectory. Preparing your System for NetBSD Installation: --------- ---- ------ --- ------ ------------ Find your favorite disk partitioning utility. Some of the ones that have been tried and seem to work are: SCSI Directory Lite Disk Manager Mac from OnTrack HD SC Setup from Apple I/O Formatter from Diversified (?) Silverlining from LaCie APS Disk Tools The last can be found on any A/UX ftp site--for example: jagubox.gsfc.nasa.gov:/pub/mac/APS273.sit.hqx, or dunkin.princeton.edu:/pub/jagubox/mac/APS273.sit.hqx. ** First, be sure you have a reliable backup of any data ** which you may want to keep. Repartitioning your hard ** drive is an excellent way to destroy important data. Second, use your favorite partitioning utility to make at least an A/UX "Root & Usr" partition and an A/UX "Swap" partition. The "Root & Usr" partition should be _at least_ 50MB in size if you wish to install everything. Generally, you should allocate twice as much swap space as you have real memory (so, if you have 8MB of RAM, specify 16MB of swap space). Systems that will be heavily used or that are low on real memory should have more swap space allocated. Systems that will be only lightly used can get away with less. If you like, you can also create a smaller root partition and a larger /usr. If you plan to use this machine as a server, you may also want a separate /var. Create these partitions as the BSD "usr" or "User slice X" type. You are now set to install NetBSD on your hard drive. Installing the NetBSD System: ---------- --- ------ ------ The installation can be broken down into three basic steps: * Run Mkfs to build a filesystem or filesystems. * Run Install Utility to load the files onto your filesystems. * Run the booter to boot the system. **** Preparing the filesystem(s) Double-click on the Mkfs application icon to start it up. It will ask you for the SCSI ID of the drive that you are installing upon. Once this is selected, it will present a list of the partitions on that disk. Select the partition on which you wish to build a filesystem and click on the "Format" button. You will now be asked for a bunch of parameters for the hard drive and the filesystem. Usually, you can just take the defaults. If you are installing onto a Syquest, please see the FAQ. Note that although this dialog only has the "OK" button, you are not committed, yet. Once you get the values you want, press the "OK" button. A dialog will be presented at this point with two options: "Format" and "Cancel." If you choose "Cancel," nothing will be written to your drive. If you choose "Format," the program will proceed to make a filesystem. Mkfs is not a well-behaved Macintosh application. It will not allow any other tasks to run while it does (cooperative multitasking at its best). When it's finished, the program will put up a dialog to ask if you have scanned the output for any error messages. Usually there won't have been any errors, but do scan the output to make sure. Simply click on the "I Read It" button and the program will quit. Repeat as necessary for any extra partitions that you wish to make filesystems on. Note that you do _not_ need a filesystem on your swap partition. **** Installing the files Double-click on the Install Utility icon to start it up. The installer will present the same SCSI ID menu that mkfs did. Select the same SCSI ID that you did for mkfs--i.e., the one you are installing onto. If you are installing onto a single root partition, proceed to the "Installation of base files" section, below. If you have not created filesystems for the root, usr, and any other filesystems, go back to "Preparing the filesystem(s)," above. When you started the installer, it mounted your root partition. Just before it printed, "Mounting partition 'A' as /," it printed lines like: sd1 at scsi ID 5. This means that the device for scsi ID 5 is sd1. The partitions are signified by a trailing letter. For instance, sd1a would be the root partition of the second scsi disk in the chain, and sd0g would be the first usr partition on the first scsi disk. You will need to know the proper device to mount the remaining partition(s) by hand: * Select "Build Devices" from the "File" menu. * Select "Mini Shell" from the "File" menu. * Mount the filesystems you wish with the command: mount device path For example, if you wish to mount a usr partition from the first scsi disk, sd0, on /usr, you would type: mount /dev/sd0g /usr * Type "quit" after you have mounted all the filesystems. Installation of base files: Select the "Install" menu item from the "File" menu and install base121, netbsd, and any other packages you wish to install at this time (see the contents section for information about what's in each package). The installer will print out the filename of each file as it is installed, and will take quite some time to install everything. As is the case with Mkfs, this is not a particularly well-behaved Macintosh application and the machine will be completely tied up while the installation takes place. At some point after installing the base package, select the "Build Devices" option from the "File" menu. This will create a bunch of device nodes for you and will create your initial /etc/fstab. The installer program also has an option to give you a mini-shell. Do not use this unless you know what you are doing. **** Booting the system Double-click on the NetBSD/mac68k Booter icon to start the application. Check that the options in the Booting dialog look sane--especially the SCSI ID. If not, correct them to your preference. When you are satisfied with your choices, try booting NetBSD. If you wish to save your preferences, choose the "Save Preferences" option in the "File" menu, then quit the application and restart. Due to a long-standing bug, the preferences will not be saved unless you quit. If the system does not come up, send mail to port-mac68k@NetBSD.ORG describing your software, your hardware, and as complete a description of the problem as you can. You might also consider subscribing to the port-mac68k mailing list, since there may already be others who have successfully identified and resolved the problem you're seeing. If the system does come up, congratulations, you have successfully installed NetBSD 1.2.1. When you reboot into NetBSD, you should log in as "root" at the login prompt. There is no initial password, but if you're using the machine in a networked environment, you should create yourself an account and protect it and the "root" account with good passwords. Some of the files in the NetBSD 1.2.1 distribution might need to be tailored for your site. In particular, the /etc/sendmail.cf file will almost definitely need to be adjusted, and other files in /etc will probably need to be modified, as well. If you are unfamiliar with UN*X-like system administration, it's recommended that you buy a book that discusses it. Upgrading a previously-installed NetBSD System: --------- - ---------- --------- ------ ------ There is no upgrade to release 1.2.1 for the NetBSD/mac68k architecture. It is hoped that there will be a good upgrade procedure for future releases. Please feel free to volunteer to help replace these installation tools. Using online NetBSD documentation ----- ------ ------ ------------- Documentation is available if you first install the manual distribution set. Traditionally, the "man pages" (documentation) are denoted by 'name(section)'. Some examples of this are intro(1), man(1), apropros(1), passwd(1), and passwd(5). The section numbers group the topics into several categories, but three are of primary interest: user commands are in section 1, file formats are in section 5, and administrative information is in section 8. The 'man' command is used to view the documentation on a topic, and is started by entering 'man [section] topic'. The brackets [] around the section should not be entered, but rather indicate that the section is optional. If you don't ask for a particular section, the topic with the least-numbered section name will be displayed. For instance, after logging in, enter man passwd to read the documentation for passwd(1). To view the documentation for passwd(5), enter man 5 passwd instead. If you are unsure of what man page you are looking for, enter apropos subject-word where "subject-word" is your topic of interest; a list of possibly related man pages will be displayed. Administrivia: ------------- Registration? What's that? 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 . To get help on using the mailing list server, send mail to that address with an empty body, and it will reply with instructions. There are various mailing lists set up to deal with comments and questions about this release. Please send comments to: netbsd-comments@NetBSD.ORG To report bugs, use the 'send-pr' 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' 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. 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 mail and/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 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. Thanks go to: ------ -- -- Members and former members of UCB's Computer Systems Research Group, including (but not limited to): Keith Bostic Ralph Campbell Mike Karels Marshall Kirk McKusick for their ongoing work on BSD systems, support, and encouragement. Also, our thanks go to: Mike Hibler Rick Macklem Jan-Simon Pendry Chris Torek for answering lots of questions, fixing bugs, and doing the various work they've done. UC Berkeley's Experimental Computing Facility provided a home for sun-lamp in the past, people to look after it, and a sense of humor. Rob Robertson, too, has added his unique sense of humor to things, and for a long time provided the primary FTP site for NetBSD. Best Internet Communications for hosting the NetBSD FTP and SUP server. Cygnus Support for hosting the NetBSD Mail server. Without CVS, this project would be impossible to manage, so our hats go off to Brian Berliner, Jeff Polk, and the various other people who've had a hand in making CVS a useful tool. Alistair G. Crooks has been producing tar file snapshot reports for NetBSD-current users, a very valuable service.
