The
NetBSD
Operating System is a fully functional
Open Source
UNIX-like
operating system derived from the University of California, Berkeley
Networking Release 2 (Net/2), 4.4BSD-Lite, and 4.4BSD-Lite2 sources.
NetBSD
runs on thirty-one different system architectures featuring twelve distinct
families of CPUs, and is being ported to more. The
NetBSD1.5.1
release contains complete binary releases for fifteen different
machine types. (The sixteen remaining are not fully supported at this time
and are thus not part of the binary distribution. For information on
them, please see the
NetBSD
web site at
http://www.netbsd.org/.)
NetBSD
is a completely integrated system.
In addition to its highly portable, high performance kernel,
NetBSD
features a complete set of user utilities, compilers for several
languages, the X Window System, firewall software
and numerous other tools, all accompanied by full source code.
NetBSD
is a creation of the members of the Internet community.
Without the unique cooperation and coordination the net makes
possible, it's likely that
NetBSD
wouldn't exist.
NetBSD
1.5.1 is an upgrade of
NetBSD
1.5 and earlier major and patch releases of
NetBSD.
The intermediate development versions of code available on the main trunk
in our CVS repository (also known as ``NetBSD-current'') from
after
the point where the release cycle for 1.5 was started are designated
by version identifiers such as 1.5A, 1.5B, etc.
These identifiers do not designate releases, but indicate major changes
in internal kernel APIs.
Note that the kernel from
NetBSD
1.5.1 can
not
be used to upgrade a system running one of those intermediate development
versions.
Trying to use the
NetBSD
1.5.1 kernel on such a system
will
probably result in problems.
Please also note that it is not possible to do a direct ``version''
comparison between any of the intermediate development versions mentioned
above and 1.5.1 to determine if a given feature is present or absent
in 1.5.1. The development of 1.5 and the subsequent ``point'' releases
is done on a separate branch in the CVS repository. The branch was created when
the release cycle for 1.5 was started, and during the release cycle of
1.5 and its patch releases, selected fixes and enhancements have been
imported from the main development trunk.
So, there are features in 1.5.1 which were not in, e.g. 1.5B, and vice
versa.
In addition, many bugs have been fixed--more than 95 problems
reported through our problem tracking system have been fixed,
and some other non-reported problems have also been found and fixed.
See the CHANGES-1.5.1 file for the complete list.
The NetBSD Packages Collection (pkgsrc) which is used to maintain,
build, track dependencies, and maintain NetBSD-specific fixes to
third-party programs, has received a major overhaul for NetBSD 1.5.1.
Some highlights are:
Please note that at the moment,
sysinst
will not assist you in
installing pre-built third-party binary packages or the pkgsrc
system itself, so you will have to manually install packages using
pkg_install
or fetch and extract the pkgsrc.tgz tar file to get started.
Lastly, it should be noted that the X11 binaries shipped in
NetBSD
1.5.1
is still based on XFree86 version 3.3.6.
Several newer graphics cards are inadequately supported
by that code base, but on the other hand support for several
older graphics cards is not available in newer XFree86 code.
NetBSD
is in the process of moving to XFree86 version 4, and is currently
maintaining both the XFree86 3.3.6 and the XFree86 version 4 code
in the
xsrc
source set, and you may at compile time pick which sources to
build and install.
To ease installation, testing and use of the XFree86 version 4
code, a binary snapshot based on XFree86
version 4.0.3 will be made available for at least the i386
architecture shortly after the release of
NetBSD
1.5.1.
The
NetBSD1.5
release
provides numerous significant functional enhancements, including
support for many new devices, integration of hundreds of bug fixes,
new and updated kernel subsystems, and many userland enhancements. The
result of these improvements is a stable operating system fit for
production use that rivals most commercially available systems.
It is impossible to completely summarize over one year of
development that went into the
NetBSD1.5.1
release. Some highlights include:
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 second major release of
NetBSD
for the macppc platform, including the Apple iBook, iMac, PowerMacintosh, and
PowerBook models, as well as clones.
As is usual between releases, the macppc port has had many improvements
made to it - too many to detail all of them here.
Numerous new drivers have been added.
See the supported hardware list for details.
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:
We intend to begin narrowing the time delay between releases. Our
ambition is to provide a full release every six to eight months.
We hope to support even
more
hardware in the future, and we have a
rather large number of other ideas about what can be done to improve
NetBSD.
We intend to continue our current practice of making the
NetBSD-current development source available on a daily basis.
We intend to integrate free, positive changes from whatever sources
submit them, providing that they are well thought-out and increase the
usability of the system.
Above all, we hope to create a stable and accessible system, and to be
responsive to the needs and desires of
NetBSD
users, because it is for
and because of them that
NetBSD
exists.
Refer to
http://www.netbsd.org/Sites/net.html.
The root directory of the
NetBSD1.5.1
release is organized as follows:
In addition to the files and directories listed above, there is one
directory per architecture, for each of the architectures for which
NetBSD1.5.1
has a binary distribution.
There are also
The source distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the
All the above source sets are located in the
The source sets are distributed as compressed tar files. They may be
unpacked into
The
The split distributions may be reassembled and extracted with
cat
as follows:
In each of the source distribution set directories, there are
files which contain the checksums of the files in the directory:
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
maintains its own set of sources for the X Window System in order to
assure tight integration and compatibility.
These sources are based on XFree86, and tightly track XFree86 releases.
The binaries shipped with
NetBSD
1.5.1
are based on XFree86 version 3.3.6.
NetBSD
is in the process of moving to XFree86 version 4, and
the X source set actually contains source for both XFree86 3.3.6
and XFree86 4, and the ability to decide
at compile-time which one to build and install.
The X Window System binary sets distributed with
NetBSD
are:
The macppc binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files
named with the 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
Currently,
NetBSD/macppc
requires the use of
Open Firmware
to boot.
Open Firmware is a command environment using the FORTH language which the
NetBSD
kernel uses to gether 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 hardware support. It was not
intended to be used to boot an operating system. 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 introduced 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 properly. 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.
At present,
NetBSD/macppc
does not support the PPC 601 microprocessor, which means that the
PowerMacintosh 7200 and 7500 models are not supported. 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 much more disk space, and to run
X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended, as
NetBSD
with 16 MB of RAM is very slow. Note that until you have
around 32 MB of RAM, getting more RAM is more important than getting a
faster CPU.
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
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.
Installation is supported from several media types, including:
The steps necessary to prepare the distribution sets for installation
depend upon which installation medium you choose.
The steps for the various media are outlined below.
Proceed to the instruction on installation.
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.
You need to know the numeric IP address of the NFS server,
and, if 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.

Skip down to the section on
Setting up pre-Open Firmware 3 to boot NetBSD
since the next several pages are instructions for MacOS models.
These models are significantly trickier than the newer machines.
All pre-Open Firmware 3 macppc systems have Open Firmware bugs. Luckily, 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
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. If you read
the Model Support page, you'd also know that 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 the Open Firmware Prompt (Harder method using MacOS)
For every other model, download System Disk from Apple's site:
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/
Make sure you click the
``Save''
button, or the patches will not be saved to NVRAM.
Open Firmware has two variables,
`input-device'
and
`output-device',
which specify which devices to use for input and 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 set them before you
can use your keyboard and screen.
Now would be a good time to look at the
NetBSD/macppc
Model Support webpage 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 console, if you desire
to bypass the keyboard and screen.
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.

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.
Open Firmware has device aliases which are simple names for the full
hardware path to a device. You can find out
what device aliases Open Firmware has on your machine by typing:

Firmware, type:

You can try the simple form (i.e. that you are booting from ethernet):
Or you may be more specific,
specifying the bootloader filename and the kernel name:
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. For instance,
Toast

MacOS
creates CDs with long filenames, but uses
MS-DOS
style short names
as well. Instead of referencing

Another thing to note is that you
must
use capital letters when specifying the filename to load.
Also, keep in mind what format your CD-R has to be for your version of
Open Firmware (pure ISO versus hybrid ISO/HFS) before giving up.
You may be able to get a directory listing of the files on your CD-ROM
disk with the following command (where
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):
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 boot floppy image to your drive, or if you have an already-installed

Internal hard drives are usually SCSI ID 0.

You may find that your first HFS or HFS+ partition might be as high as

with the internal display, you will need to set up a serial console.
If your machine is Open Firmware version 1.0.5 or 2.X, 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.
Otherwise, if you are not using a serial

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 to be completed.
Do not let this discourage you, the install program is not hard
to use.
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
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 instructions, skip to section 3. This section
describes a basic installation, using a CD-ROM install as
an example.
Boot the system as described in the previous section.
You may want to read the
boot messages, to notice your disk's name and capacity. Its name
will be something like
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.
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 networking 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.
Skip this step if you are installing
NetBSD
onto a dedicated drive.
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 shared with
MacOS
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:
Type the following command (replacing
This will print out the partition info that was generated by Drive
Setup. Note that, as discussed above in the
Partitioning your hard drive for NetBSD
section, your
A/UX Root
typically 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:
Now, you need to create filesystems on the partitions that
NetBSD
will be using.
Do not modify any partitions labeled
Run the
newfs
command on the
Now you need to mount your destination root partition:
Make an

To start the
installation onto a dedicated
NetBSD
drive,
select
Install NetBSD to hard disk
from the main menu.
To start the installation onto a drive which will
also be used with
MacOS,
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
You can skip a few steps, down to
`Getting the distribution sets',
if you are installing onto a drive that will be used with
MacOS
(i.e. you selected
Re-install sets or install additional sets
from the main menu).
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
MacOS,
which is one of the reasons why you cannot use this installer to partition
a disk that can be used with
MacOS.
There are 3 layouts for the
NetBSD
part of the disk that you can pick from:
Standard, Standard with X
and
Custom.
The first two use a set of default
values (that you can change) suitable for a normal
installation, possibly including X. The last option
lets you specify everything yourself.
You will be presented with the current layout of the
NetBSD
disklabel, 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.
You will then be asked to name your disk's disklabel. The
default response is
mydisk.
For most purposes this will be OK.
If you choose to name it something different, make sure the name
is a single word and contains no special characters. You don't
need to remember this name.
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 proceed, enter
The install program will now label your disk and make the file
systems 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 installation program
after pressing the return key.
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 installation, 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 section labeled
`Extracting the distribution sets'.
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
to provide some 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
You will also be asked to specify the host that you want
to transfer the sets from, the directory on that host,
and the account name and password used to log into that
host using ftp. 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.
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
to provide some 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
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.
When installing from a CD-ROM, you will be asked to specify
the device name for your CD-ROM player
(usually
sysinst
will then check if the files are indeed available
in the specified location, and proceed to the actual
extraction of the sets.
In order to install from a local file system, you will
need to specify the device that the file system resides
on
(for example
This option assumes that you have already done some preparation
yourself. The sets should be located in a directory on a
file system that is already accessible.
sysinst
will ask you
for the name of this directory.
After the install sets containing the
NetBSD
distribution
have been made available, you can either extract all the
sets (a full installation), 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.
After all the files have been extracted, 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 can set a password for the "root" account, to prevent
the machine coming up without access restrictions.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed
NetBSD1.5.1.
The last command resets the system so that these settings are stored.

The upgrade to
NetBSD1.5.1
is a binary upgrade; it can be quite difficult
to advance to a later version by recompiling from source due primarily
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 the old binaries are being overwritten in place, you only need
space for the new binaries, which weren't previously on the system.
If you have a few megabytes free on each of your root
(
Since upgrading involves replacing the boot blocks on your
NetBSD
partition, the kernel, 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 your disk,
whether on the
NetBSD
partition or on
another operating system's partition, before beginning the upgrade
process.
Since installation of the bootloader will prevent
MacOS
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 installation, but without the hard disk partitioning.

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, 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 destination media.

Partitioning your hard drive for NetBSD
(All Open Firmware versions)
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.
(/)
must be on a drive prepared 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.
We recommend using the
NetBSD
installer to partition your disk, but you will not be able to use
partitions on this drive with
MacOS.
You must have at least one disk that was partitioned using a
MacOS
tool before installing
NetBSD
on your system.
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.
If you are dedicating an entire disk to
NetBSD,
then your
MacOS
partitioned disk only needs HFS or HFS+ partitions.
ofwboot.xcf.
You will need to use the installer's
``Re-install sets''
option. More information is provided below on this process.
/usr (at least 200 MB), /home, /usr/local, or
/usr/pkg.
NetBSD
interprets these partitions as normal
NetBSD-style
partitions.
These partitions are not readable from
MacOS.
Preparing the Bootable Media
The purpose of this section is to prepare the media from which your system
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.

``Open''
Installing the NetBSD System
Booting the installer
The syntax of the Open Firmware
boot
command is:
boot device[:partition][,filename] [kernel_location] [-as]
ofwboot.xcf
will ask where the kernel is, or the kernel will ask where the root
file system is).
The
-s
flag will boot into
`single-user'
mode.
kernel_location
is either a filename if the kernel is on the same partition as the
bootloader, or another complete
`device:partition,filename'.
And, there's no reason (other than Open Firmware bugginess) that you can't
specify an entirely different device for the kernel.
For instance, you could have a
MacOS
drive on your
ultra1
(ATA) bus, and a
NetBSD
drive on your
ultra0
bus (since
wd0,
the first drive recognized by
NetBSD/macppc
is usually found on the
ultra0
bus).

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
Now, you can reboot to get to the Open Firmware prompt. Once there, you
can set Open Firmware to always boot into
NetBSD
from the media of your choice. First, make sure you know what command you
need to boot (see above). If you are using a
`partition zero'
style boot scheme, you would type something like the following:
CONTROL-C
at any time, but if you do, you'll have to begin the installation
process again from scratch, by running the
/sysinst
program from the command prompt, you do not need to reboot.

You may need to type one of the following commands to get your delete key

# stty erase '^h'
# stty erase '^?'
At this point, you need to configure at least
one file in the

# /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

Compatibility Issues With Previous NetBSD Releases
General issues
/etc/rc
modified to use
/etc/rc.d/*
/etc/rc
was a traditional
BSD
style monolithic file; each discrete program or substem from
/etc/rc
and
/etc/netstart
has been moved into separate scripts in
/etc/rc.d/.
/etc/rc
uses
rcorder(8)
to build a dependency list of the files in
/etc/rc.d
and then executes each script in turn with an argument of
`start'.
Many
rc.d
scripts won't start unless the appropriate
rc.conf(5)
entry in
/etc/rc.conf
is set to
`YES.'
/etc/rc.shutdown
uses
rcorder(8)
to build a dependency list of the files in
/etc/rc.d
that have a
``KEYWORD: shutdown''
line, reverses the resulting list, and then executes each script in turn
with an argument of
`stop'.
The following scripts support a specific shutdown method:
cron,
inetd,
local,
and
xdm.
/etc/rc.d
as necessary.
Refer to the other scripts in that directory and
rc(8)
for more information on implementing
rc.d
scripts.
Issues affecting an upgrade from NetBSD 1.4 or prior
named(8)
leaks version information
named(8)
where the version number of the server could be determined by remote clients.
This feature has not been disabled in
NetBSD1.5,
because there is a
named.conf(5)
option to change the version string:
option {
version "newstring";
};
sysctl(8)
pathname changed
sysctl(8)
is moved from
/usr/sbin/sysctl
to
/sbin/sysctl.
If you have hardcoded references to the full pathname
(in shell scripts, for example)
please be sure to update those.
sendmail(8)
configuration file pathname changed
sendmail(8)
upgrade from 8.9.x to 8.10.x,
/etc/sendmail.cf
is moved to
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf.
Also, the default
sendmail.cf(5)
refers different pathnames than before.
For example,
/etc/aliases
is now located at
/etc/mail/aliases,
/etc/sendmail.cw
is now called
/etc/mail/local-host-names,
and so forth.
If you have customized
sendmail.cf(5)
and friends, you will need to move the files to the new locations.
See
/usr/share/sendmail/README
for more information.

name(section)'.
Some examples of this are

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.
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.
