INSTALL(8) NetBSD System Manager's Manual INSTALL(8) NAME INSTALL - Installation procedure for NetBSD/next68k DESCRIPTION About this Document This document describes the installation procedure for NetBSD 1.4 on the next68k 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. What is NetBSD? The NetBSD Operating System is a fully functional Open Source UN*X-like operating system derived from the Berkeley Networking Release 2 (Net/2), 4.4BSD-Lite, and 4.4BSD-Lite2 sources. NetBSD runs on twenty different system architectures featuring eight distinct families of CPUs, and is being ported to more. The NetBSD 1.4 release contains complete binary re- leases for fourteen different machine types. (The six remaining 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 portable, high performance kernel, NetBSD features a complete set of user utilities, compilers for several languages, The X Window System, and nu- merous 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 Since The Last Release The NetBSD 1.4 release is a substantial improvement over its predeces- sors. We have provided numerous significant functional enhancements, in- cluding support for many new devices, integration of hundreds of bug fix- es, new and updated kernel subsystems, and many userland enhancements. The results of these improvements is a stable operating system fit for production use that rivals most commercially available systems. It is impossible to completely summarize the nearly two years of develop- ment that went into the NetBSD 1.4 release. Some highlights include: o Substantial improvements in the TCP/IP implementation, including nu- merous performance enhancements and bug fixes by Jason Thorpe and others. o A new, high efficiency kernel memory pool allocator by Paul Kranen- burg. This has been integrated into most kernel subsystems. o A new, totally rewritten virtual memory subsystem, UVM, created by Chuck Cranor, which is substantially cleaner and better performing than the old Mach derived VM subsystem. o Improved POSIX and XPG standards compliance. o Completion of the integration of all remaining 4.4BSD Lite-2 kernel improvements and bug fixes that had not been previously integrated. (Integration of all userland components was completed before NetBSD 1.3) o Several new ports, including macppc, bebox, sparc64, next68k, and others, have been integrated into the source tree. o The system compilers have been upgraded to egcs 1.1.1, and the system compiler toolchain now (mostly) uses the latest versions of GNU binu- tils instead of the obsolete versions left over from 4.4BSD Lite. o Everyone's favorite ftp(1) client has been improved even further. See the man page for details. o A new architecture independent console driver, wscons(4), has been integrated into many ports. o Numerous improvements have been made to the audio subsystem support, including support for MIDI device drivers. o Linux compatibility support has been improved. o A number of scheduler enhancements have yielded dramatic improvements in interactive performance and better control of background tasks. o Several network tunneling protocols, including GRE and IP in IP, have been implemented. o Kernel support for the CODA distributed file system has been added. o Manuel Bouyer completed major changes to the IDE support. It is now architecture independent. Major changes have been made to the IDE code for better error handling, improved ATAPI support, 32 bit data I/O support and bus-master DMA support on PCI IDE controllers. o Lennart Augustsson has added full USB support, permitting the use of a wide variety of Universal Serial Bus peripherals. The drivers should easily port to any future platforms that support the PCI bus. See usb(4) for an overview. o RAIDframe, version 1.1, from the Parallel Data Laboratory at Carnegie Mellon University, has been integrated. Supports RAID levels 0, 1, 4, 5, and more. o Luke Mewburn added nsswitch.conf(5) functionality to the system to specify the search order for system databases. o syslogd(8) now supports listening on multiple sockets, to make the chrooting of servers easier. o Most third party packages have been updated to the latest stable re- lease. As has been noted, there have also been innumerable bug fixes. Kernel interfaces have continued to be refined, and more subsystems and device drivers are shared among the different ports. You can look for this trend to continue. This is the first public release of NetBSD for the NeXT series of comput- ers. 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 ac- tivities. 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. In addition, we intend to provide Anonymous CVS access to the NetBSD source tree in the near fu- ture, so that anyone on the internet can examine the full NetBSD source code repository. We intend to integrate free, positive changes from whatever sources sub- mit them, providing that they are well thought-out and increase the us- ability 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.

CHANGES Changes since earlier NetBSD releases. LAST_MINUTE Last minute changes. MIRRORS A list of sites that mirror the NetBSD 1.4 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 di- rectory per architecture, for each of the architectures for which NetBSD 1.4 has a binary distribution. There are also 'README.export-con- trol' files sprinkled liberally throughout the distribution tree, which point out that there are some portions of the distribution (i.e. the `do- mestic' portion) that may be subject to export regulations of the United States. It is your responsibility to determine whether or not it is le- gal for you to export these portions and to act accordingly. The source distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the "source" subdirectory of the distribution tree. They contain the complete sources to the system. The source distribution sets are as follows: secrsrc.tgz: This set contains the "domestic" sources. These sources may be subject to United States export regulations. 421K gzipped, 2M uncompressed gnusrc.tgz: This set contains the "gnu" sources, including the source for the compiler, assembler, groff, and the other GNU utilities in the binary distribution sets. 19M gzipped, 84.2M uncompressed syssrc.tgz: This set contains the sources to the NetBSD 1.4 kernel, config(8), and dbsym(8). 13.5M gzipped, 66.7M uncompressed sharesrc.tgz: This set contains the "share" sources, which include the sources for the man pages not associated with any par- ticular program, the sources for the typesettable docu- ment set, the dictionaries, and more. 3M gzipped, 11.9M uncompressed src.tgz: This set contains all of the NetBSD 1.4 sources which are not mentioned above. 16.1M gzipped, 73.6M uncompressed Most of the above source sets are located in the source/sets subdirectory of the distribution tree. The secrsrc.tgz set is contained in the source/security subdirectory. This set, which is available only to users in the United States and Canada, contains the sources normally found in /usr/src/domestic - primarily kerberos and other cryptographic security related software. (Remember, because of United States law, it may not be legal to distribute this set to locations outside of the United States and Canada.) The source sets are distributed as compressed tar files. They may be un- packed into /usr/src with the command: cat set_name.tgz | gunzip | (cd /; tar xpf - ) The sets/Split/ and security/Split/ subdirectories contain split versions of the source sets for those users who need to load the source sets from floppy or otherwise need a split distribution. The split sets are are named "set_name.xx" where "set_name" is the distribution set name, and "xx" is the sequence number of the file, starting with "aa" for the first file in the distribution set, then "ab" for the next, and so on. All of these files except the last one of each set should be exactly 240,640 bytes long. (The last file is just long enough to contain the remainder of the data for that distribution set.) The split distributions may be reassembled and extracted with cat as follows: cat set_name.?? | gunzip | (cd /; tar xpf - ) 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 in- tegrity of the archives, if you suspect that one of the files is corrupt and have access to a cksum binary. Checksums based on other algorithms may also be present - see the release(7) man page for details. NetBSD/next68k Subdirectory Structure The next68k-specific portion of the NetBSD 1.4 release is found in the next68k subdirectory of the distribution: .../NetBSD-1.4/next68k/ INSTALL.html INSTALL.ps INSTALL.txt INSTALL.more Installation notes; this file. The .more file contains underlined text using the more(1) conventions for indicat- ing italic and bold display. binary/ sets/ next68k binary distribution sets; see below. security/ next68k security distribution; see below. installation/ Binary Distribution Sets The NetBSD next68k binary distribution sets contain the binaries which comprise the NetBSD 1.4 release for the next68k. There are eight binary distribution sets and the security distribution set. The binary distri- bution sets can be found in the next68k/binary/sets subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.4 distribution tree, and are as follows: base The NetBSD 1.4 next68k 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. 12.9M gzipped, 40.1M 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. 13M gzipped, 50M uncompressed etc This distribution set contains the system configuration files that reside in /etc and in several other places. This set must be installed if you are installing the system from scratch, but should not be used if you are upgrading. (If you are upgrading, it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and carefully upgrade your configuration files by hand.) 56K gzipped, 330K uncompressed games This set includes the games and their manual pages. 2.8M gzipped, 7M uncompressed kern This set contains a NetBSD/next68k 1.4 GENERIC kernel, named /netbsd. You must install this distribution set. 532k gzipped, 1.1M uncompressed man This set includes all of the manual pages for the binaries and other software contained in the base set. Note that it does not include any of the manual pages that are included in the other sets. 3.9M gzipped, 15.6M uncompressed misc This set includes the (rather large) system dictionaries, the typesettable document set, and other files from /usr/share. 2.2M gzipped, 8.5M uncompressed text This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools, including groff(1), all related programs, and their manual pages. 1.3M gzipped, 4.5M uncompressed The next68k security distribution set is named secr and can be found in the next68k/binary/security subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.4 distribution tree. It contains security- related binaries which depend on cryptographic source code. You do not need this distribution set to use encrypted passwords in your password file; the base distribution includes a crypt library which can perform only the one-way encryption function. The security distribution includes a version of the Kerberos IV network security system, and a Kerberized version of telnet(1) program. The secr distribution set can be found only on those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and which can legally obtain it. Because of United States law, it may not be legal to distribute this set to locations outside of the United States and Canada. NetBSD maintains its own set of sources for the X Window System in order to assure tight integration and compatibility. These sources are based on XFree86, and tightly track XFree86 releases. They are currently equivalent to XFree86 3.3.3.1. 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. xcomp The extra libraries and include files needed to compile X source code. xcontrib Programs that were contributed to X. xfont Fonts needed by X. The next68k binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files named with the extension .tgz, e.g. base.tgz. The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that method, the files are /-relative and therefore are extracted below the current directory. That is, if you want to extract the binaries into your system, i.e. replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the tar xfp command from /. Note Each directory in the next68k binary distribution also has its own checksum files, just as the source distribution does: All BSDSUM files are historic BSD checksums for the various files in that directory, in the format produced by the command: cksum -o 1 file All CKSUM files are POSIX checksums for the various files in that directory, in the format produced by the command: cksum file. All MD5 files are MD5 digests for the various files in that direc- tory, in the format produced by the command: cksum -m file. All SYSVSUM files are historic AT&T System V UNIX checksums for the various files in that directory, in the format produced by the command: cksum -o -2 file. The MD5 digest is the safest checksum, followed by the POSIX checksum. The other two checksums are provided only to ensure that the widest possible range of system can check the integrity of the release files. NetBSD/next68k System Requirements and Supported Devices NetBSD/next68k 1.4 will run on 68040-based non-turbo NeXT workstations. This include the NeXTstation and NeXTstation Color slabs, and the non- Turbo NeXT Cube. NetBSD/next68k does not currently support 68030 ma- chines or Turbo (33 MHz) machines. NetBSD/next68k 1.4 does not have com- plete scsi support, so installations must use a remote NFS filesystem. The following NeXT hardware is supported: CPUs: o 68030-based: none. o 68040-based: NeXTstation, NeXTstation color, NeXT Cube. RS232 interfaces: o built in A and B serial ports (zsc). Network interfaces: o built in ethernet (xe). Displays: o NeXT monochrome display (nextdisplay). Input devices: o NeXT non-adb keyboard (nextkbd). Miscellaneous: o Battery-backed real-time clock. If it's not on this list, there is no official support for it in this release. Getting the NetBSD System on to Useful Media Because NetBSD/next68k must run diskless, the distribution must be installed to a remote machine that NFS exports to the NeXT machine. As a result, there is no automated install procedure. Begin by retrieving the netbsd set files onto the serving machine. These can be found at ftp.NetBSD.ORG. You may want to keep the following information handy: IP Address: ftp.NetBSD.ORG Login: anonymous Password: Server path: /pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-_VER/next68k/binary/sets Preparing your System for NetBSD Installation No preparation is necessary, since the NetBSD/next68k sets must be installed on a server. Installing the NetBSD System Begin by creating an area in the server's filesystem for the NetBSD/next68k image. This area must be exported read-write to the NeXT workstation. In the simplest form of installation, the entire image is exported as a single parti- tion, mounted on / by the target. This corresponds to a local disk install with just one partition. It is also possible to export /usr or other parti- tions seperately. /usr can be exported read-only, and multiple machines can all share the same /usr partition. To extract the sets into the exported area: cd /path/to/exported/filesystem pax -zrvpe -f /path/to/base.tgz and repeat for any other sets you wish to install. You'll almost certainly need the etc.tgz set. Edit the files in the etc directory to reflect reality. rc.conf and fstab will certainly need to be edited. cd into the dev directory in the exported area and run sh ./MAKEDEV all to create the various device nodes. Create an empty swap file, and place it somewhere where it can also be export- ed to the target. Edit the server's /etc/exports file to export the root and swap partitions to the target. Both must be read-write, and allow full root privileges. You'll also need to set up a tftp server and bootp server to enable netboot- ing. These services don't have to run on the same machine that exports the target image, but it is often convenient to do so. More information on con- figuring these services can be found at http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/netboot/ Note that your bootptab requires the tag "vm=auto" for bootpd to work with the NeXT. 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 propperly configured state, with the most important ones described below. 1. Configuring /etc/rc.conf If you haven't done any configuration of /etc/rc.conf, 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 filesystem mounted read-write. When the system asks you to choose a shell, simply hit return to get to a prompt. If you are asked for a terminal type, respond with vt220 (or whatever is appropriate for your terminal type) and hit return. At this point, you need to configure at least one file in the /etc directory. 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. If your /usr directory is on a separate partition and you do not know how to use 'ed' or 'ex', you will have to mount your /usr partition to gain access to 'vi'. Do the follow- ing: mount /usr export TERM=vt220 If you have /var on a seperate 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 con- tinue with the multi-user boot. Other values that need to be set in /etc/rc.conf for a networked environ- ment are hostname and possibly defaultroute, furthermore add an ifconfig_int for your interface , along the lines of ifconfig_de0="inet 123.45.67.89 netmask 255.255.255.0" or, if you have myname.my.dom in /etc/hosts: ifconfig_de0="inet myname.my.dom netmask 255.255.255.0" To enable proper hostname resolution, you will also want to add an /etc/resolv.conf file or (if you are feeling a little more adventurous) run named(8). See resolv.conf(5) or named(8) for more information. Other files in /etc that are new to NetBSD 1.4 and may require modifica- tion 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. There is no initial password, but if you're using the machine in a networked environ- ment, you should create an account for yourself (see below) and protect it and the "root" account with good passwords. 3. Adding accounts Use the vipw(8) command to add accounts to your system, do not edit /etc/passwd directly. See adduser(8) for more information on the process of how to add a new user to the system. 4. The X Window System If you have installed the X window system, look at the files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc for information. Don't forget to add /usr/X11R6/bin to your path in your shell's dot file so that you have access to the X binaries. 5. Installing 3rd party packages There is a lot of software freely available for Unix-based systems, al- most all of which can run on NetBSD. Modifications are usually needed to when transferring programs between different Unix-like systems, so the NetBSD packages collection incorporates any such changes necessary to make that software run on NetBSD, and makes the installation (and dein- stallation) of the software packages easy. There's also the option of building a package from source, in case there's no precompiled binary available. Precompiled binaries can be found at ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/ Package sources for compiling packages can be obtained by retrieving the file ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD- current/tar_files/pkgsrc.tar.gz and extracting it into /usr/pkgsrc. See /usr/pkgsrc/README then for more information. 6. Misc o To adjust the system to your local timezone, point the /etc/localtime symlink to the appropriate file under /usr/share/zoneinfo. o Edit /etc/aliases to forward root mail to the right place (run newaliases(1) afterwards.) o The /etc/sendmail.cf file will almost definitely need to be adjusted; files aiding in this can be found in /usr/share/sendmail. See the README file there for more information. 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 manual; so just invoking man filename is likely to give you more information on these files. Upgrading a previously-installed NetBSD System NetBSD/next68k does not currently support an upgrade procedure. Compatibility Issues With Previous NetBSD Releases Users upgrading from previous versions of NetBSD may wish to bear the follow- ing problems and compatibility issues in mind when upgrading to NetBSD 1.4 Note Only issues effecting an upgrade from NetBSD 1.3 or NetBSD 1.3.x are decribed here. o "machine" directory/link in "/usr/include" Description Some architecture may fail to install the comp set because the /usr/include/machine directory changed to a symbolic link in NetBSD 1.4. Fix If this happens, you can use the command # rm -r /usr/include/machine to remove the old directory and it contents and reinstall the comp set. 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 o intro(1), o man(1), o apropros(1), o passwd(1), and o passwd(5). The section numbers group the topics into several categories, but three are of primary interest: user commands are in section 1, file formats are in section 5, and administrative information is in section 8. The man command is used to view the documentation on a topic, and is started by entering man [section] topic. The brackets [] around the section should not be entered, but rather indicate that the section is optional. If you don't ask for a particular section, the topic with the lowest numbered section name will be displayed. For instance, after logging in, enter man passwd to read the documentation for passwd(1). To view the documentation for passwd(5)m enter man 5 passwd instead. If you are unsure of what man page you are looking for, enter apropos subject- word where subject-word is your topic of interest; a list of possibly related man pages will be displayed. Administrivia If you've got something to say, do so! We'd like your input. There are vari- ous mailing lists available via the mailing list server at majordomo@NetBSD.ORG. To get help on using the mailing list server, send mail to that address with an empty body, and it will reply with instructions. There are various mailing lists set up to deal with comments and questions about this release. Please send comments to: netbsd-comments@NetBSD.ORG. To report bugs, use the send-pr(1) command shipped with NetBSD, and fill in as much information about the problem as you can. Good bug reports include lots of details. Additionally, bug reports can be sent by mail to: netbsd- bugs@NetBSD.ORG. Use of send-pr(1) is encouraged, however, because bugs reported with it are entered into the NetBSD bugs database, and thus can't slip through the cracks. There are also port-specific mailing lists, to discuss aspects of each port of NetBSD. Use majordomo to find their addresses. 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 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 o The 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. o 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. o 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 Robert- son, too, has added his unique sense of humor to things, and for a long time provided the primary FTP site for NetBSD. o Vixie Enterprises for hosting the NetBSD FTP and SUP server. o Redback Networks, Inc. for hosting the NetBSD Mail server. o 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. o Dave Burgess burgess@cynjut.infonet.net has been maintaining the 386BSD/NetBSD/FreeBSD FAQ for quite some time, and deserves to be recog- nized for it. o The following individuals and organiztions (each in alphabetical order) have made donations or loans of hardware and/or money, to support NetBSD development, and deserve credit for it: Jason Birnschein Jason Brazile David Brownlee Simon Burge Dave Burgess Ralph Campbell Brian Carlstrom James Chacon Bill Coldwell Charles Conn Tom Coulter Charles D.

VMC Harald Frank, Germany (If you're not on that list and should be, tell us! We probably were not able to get in touch with you, to verify that you wanted to be listed.) o Finally, we thank all of the people who've put sweat and tears into devel- oping NetBSD since its inception in January, 1993. (Obviously, there are a lot more people who deserve thanks here. If you're one of them, and would like to mentioned, tell us!) We are...
