INSTALL(8) NetBSD System Manager's Manual INSTALL(8) NAME INSTALL - Installation procedure for NetBSD/arm32. DESCRIPTION About this Document This document describes the installation procedure for NetBSD 1.5 on the arm32 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 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 thirty-one different system architectures featuring twelve dis- tinct families of CPUs, and is being ported to more. The NetBSD 1.5 re- lease 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. Changes Since The Last Release The NetBSD 1.5 release provides numerous significant functional enhance- ments, including support for many new devices, integration of hundreds of bug fixes, new and updated kernel subsystems, and many userland enhance- ments. 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 NetBSD 1.5 release. Some highlights include: Kernel o Ports to new platforms including: arc, cobalt, hpcmips, news68k, sgimips, and sparc64. o Improved performance and stability of the UVM virtual memory subsys- tem. o Implementation of generic kernel locking code, as well as a restruc- ture and re-tuning of the scheduler, to be used by the future symmet- ric multi-processing (SMP) implementation. o Improved compatibility support for Linux, OSF1, and SVR4 programs. o New compatibility support for Win32 programs. o Support for dynamically loaded ELF kernel modules. o Kernel process tracing using ktruss(1). o Deletion of swap devices using swapctl(8). o Easier hot-pluggability of keyboards and mice using a new wscons de- vice - wsmux. o Improved PCMCIA and Cardbus support, including support for detaching of devices and cards, resulting in better support for notebooks and PDA devices. o Numerous hardware improvements, including areas such as: audio, UD- MA/66 support for ATA drives, USB, and wireless networking. Networking o Addition of IP version 6 (IPv6) and IPsec to the networking stack, from the KAME project. This includes addition of kernel code for IPv6/IPsec, IPv4/v6 dual-stack user applications and supporting li- braries. Due to this, the shlib major version for pcap(3) is incre- mented and you may need to recompile userland tools. The KAME IPv6 part includes results from the unified-ipv6 effort. File system o Significant Fast file system (FFS) performance enhancements via inte- gration of Kirk McKusick's soft updates and trickle sync code. o Support for the Windows NT `NTFS' file system (read-only at this stage). o Support for revision 1 of the Linux `ext2fs' file system. o Enhanced stability and usability of LFS (the BSD log-structured file system). o Various RAIDframe enhancements including: auto-detection of RAID com- ponents and auto-configuration of RAID sets, and the ability to con- figure the root file system (/) on a RAID set. o Support for Microsoft Joliet extensions to the ISO9660 CD file sys- tem. o Improved file system vnode locking mechanisms, thus resolving a source of several panics in the past. o Support for NFS and RPC over IPv6. o Server part of NFS locking (implemented by rpc.lockd(8)) now works. Security o Strong cryptographic libraries and applications integrated, including the AES cipher Rijndael, the OpenSSL library, more complete Kerberos IV and Kerberos V support, and an SSH server and client. o sysctl(3) interfaces to various elements of process and system infor- mation, allowing programs such as ps(1), dmesg(1) and the like to op- erate without recompilation after kernel upgrades, and remove the ne- cessity to run setgid kmem (thus improving system security). o Disable various services by default, and set the default options for disabled daemons to a higher level of logging. o Several code audits were performed. One audit replaced string rou- tines that were used without bound checking, and another one to iden- tify and disable places where format strings were used in an unsafe way, allowing arbitrary data entered by (possibly) malicious users to overwrite application code, and leading from Denial of Service at- tacks to compromised system. System administration and user tools o Conversion of the rc(8) system startup and shutdown scripts to an `rc.d' mechanism, with separate control scripts for each service, and appropriate dependency ordering provided by rcorder(8). o postfix(1) provided as alternative mail transport agent to sendmail(8). o User management tools useradd(8), usermod(8), userdel(8), groupadd(8), groupmod(8), and groupdel(8) added to the system. o Incorporation of a login class capability database (/etc/login.conf) from BSD/OS. o Improved support for usernames longer than eight characters in pro- grams such as at(1) and w(1). o Many enhancements to ftpd(8) providing features found in larger and less secure FTP daemons, such as user classes, connection limits, im- proved support for virtual hosting, transfer statistics, transfer rate throttling, and support for various IETF ftpext working group extensions. o The ftp(1) client has been improved even further, including transfer rate throttling, improved URL support, command line uploads. See the man page for details. Miscellaneous o Updates to the NetBSD source code style code (located in /usr/share/misc/style) to use ANSI C only (instead of K&R) and re- flect current (best) practice, and begin migrating the NetBSD source code to follow it. o Implementation of many SUSv2 features to the curses(3) library, in- cluding support for color. o Updates of most third party packages that are shipped in the base system, including file(1), ipfilter(4), ppp(4), and sendmail(8) to the latest stable release. o Many new packages in the pkgsrc system, including standard desktops like KDE and GNOME as well as latest Tcl/Tk and perl and many of the components of the Java Enterprise platform. The package framework itself now has full wildcard dependency support. 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. NetBSD 1.5 on arm32 is, as usual, also fully backward compatible with old NetBSD arm32 binaries, so you don't need to recompile all your local pro- grams provided you set the appropriate binary compatibility options in your kernel configuration. New port-specific features include: o Addition of Xarm32VIDC Xserver for RiscPC and ARM7500 based systems. 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. 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.

NetBSD 1.5 Release Contents The root directory of the NetBSD 1.5 release is organized as follows: .../NetBSD-1.5/ CHANGES Changes since earlier NetBSD releases. LAST_MINUTE Last minute changes. MIRRORS A list of sites that mirror the NetBSD 1.5 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 1.5 has a binary distribution. There are also README.export- control files sprinkled liberally throughout the distribution tree, which point out that there are some portions of the distribution that may be subject to export regulations of the United States, e.g. code under src/crypto and src/sys/crypto. It is your responsibility to determine whether or not it is legal for you to export these portions and to act accordingly. The source distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the source subdirectory of the distribution tree. They contain the complete sources to the system. The source distribution sets are as follows: gnusrc This set contains the ``gnu'' sources, including the source for the compiler, assembler, groff, and the other GNU utilities in the binary distribution sets. 22.3 MB gzipped, 98.8 MB uncompressed pkgsrc This set contains the ``pkgsrc'' sources, which contain the in- frastructure to build third-party packages. 5.6 MB gzipped, 57.0 MB uncompressed sharesrc This set contains the ``share'' sources, which include the sources for the man pages not associated with any particular program, the sources for the typesettable document set, the dictionaries, and more. 3.3 MB gzipped, 13.2 MB uncompressed src This set contains all of the base NetBSD 1.5 sources which are not in gnusrc, sharesrc, or syssrc. 24.2 MB gzipped, 120.6 MB uncompressed syssrc This set contains the sources to the NetBSD 1.5 kernel for all architectures, config(8), and dbsym(8). 17.6 MB gzipped, 88.6 MB uncompressed xsrc This set contains the sources to the X Window System. 35.2 MB gzipped, 176.8 MB uncompressed All the above source sets are located in the source/sets subdirectory of the distribution tree. The source sets are distributed as compressed tar files. They may be un- packed into /usr/src with the command: # ( cd / ; tar -zxpf - ) < set_name.tgz The sets/Split/ subdirectory contains split versions of the source sets for those users who need to load the source sets from floppy or otherwise need a split distribution. The split sets are named set_name.xx where set_name is the distribution set name, and xx is the sequence number of the file, starting with ``aa'' for the first file in the distribution set, then ``ab'' for the next, and so on. All of these files except the last one of each set should be exactly 240,640 bytes long. (The last file is just long enough to contain the remainder of the data for that distri- bution set.) The split distributions may be reassembled and extracted with cat as fol- lows: # cat set_name.?? | ( cd / ; tar -zxpf - ) In each of the source distribution set directories, there are files which contain the checksums of the files in the directory: BSDSUM Historic BSD checksums for the various files in that di- rectory, in the format produced by the command: cksum -o 1 file CKSUM POSIX checksums for the various files in that directory, in the format produced by the command: cksum file. MD5 MD5 digests for the various files in that directory, in the format produced by the command: cksum -m file. SYSVSUM Historic AT&T System V UNIX checksums for the various files in that directory, in the format produced by the command: cksum -o -2 file. The MD5 digest is the safest checksum, followed by the POSIX checksum. The other two checksums are provided only to ensure that the widest pos- sible range of system can check the integrity of the release files. NetBSD/arm32 subdirectory structure The arm32-specific portion of the NetBSD 1.5 release is found in the arm32 subdirectory of the distribution: .../NetBSD-1.5/arm32/ 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. sets/ arm32 binary distribution sets; see below. installation/ floppy/ arm32 boot and installation floppies; see be- low. misc/ Miscellaneous arm32 installation utilities; see installation section, below. There are a collection of arm32 kernels in the arm32/kernels subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.5 distribution. Some of these kernels contain a root file system image and should only be used for the initial installation. Some of the kernels only support a particular subset of the platforms that arm32 supports (See arm32/kernels/README for more details.) Binary distribution sets The NetBSD arm32 binary distribution sets contain the binaries which com- prise the NetBSD 1.5 release for the arm32. There are eight binary dis- tribution sets. The binary distribution sets can be found in the arm32/binary/sets subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.5 distribution tree, and are as follows: base The NetBSD 1.5 arm32 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 func- tional. It includes shared library support, and excludes every- thing described below. 19.2 MB gzipped, 47.4 MB uncompressed comp Things needed for compiling programs. This set includes the system include files (/usr/include) and the various system li- braries (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. 13.8 MB gzipped, 45.4 MB uncompressed etc This distribution set contains the system configuration files that reside in /etc and in several other places. This set must be installed if you are installing the system from scratch, but should not be used if you are upgrading. (If you are upgrading, it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and carefully upgrade your configuration files by hand.) 0.1 MB gzipped, 0.6 MB uncompressed games This set includes the games and their manual pages. 3.0 MB gzipped, 7.5 MB uncompressed kern This set contains a NetBSD/arm32 1.5 GENERIC kernel, named /netbsd. You must install this distribution set. 1.1 MB gzipped, 2.3 MB uncompressed man This set includes all of the manual pages for the binaries and other software contained in the base set. Note that it does not include any of the manual pages that are included in the other sets. 5.0 MB gzipped, 19.9 MB uncompressed misc This set includes the (rather large) system dictionaries, the typesettable document set, and other files from /usr/share. 2.6 MB gzipped, 10.1 MB uncompressed text This set includes NetBSD 's text processing tools, including groff(1), all related programs, and their manual pages. 1.4 MB gzipped, 4.8 MB uncompressed NetBSD maintains its own set of sources for the X Window System in order to assure tight integration and compatibility. These sources are based on XFree86, and tightly track XFree86 releases. They are currently equivalent to XFree86 3.3.6. 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. 3.2 MB gzipped, 9.5 MB uncompressed xcomp The extra libraries and include files needed to compile X source code. 2.1 MB gzipped, 8.2 MB uncompressed xcontrib Programs that were contributed to X. 0.2 MB gzipped, 0.7 MB uncompressed xfont Fonts needed by X. 6.2 MB gzipped, 7.5 MB uncompressed xserver 6.8 MB gzipped, 17.4 MB uncompressed The arm32 binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files named with the extension .tgz, e.g. base.tgz. The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that method, the files are /-relative and therefore are extracted below the current directory. That is, if you want to extract the binaries into your system, i.e. replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the tar -xpf command from /. Note: Each directory in the arm32 binary distribution also has its own checksum files, just as the source distribution does. NetBSD/arm32 System Requirements and Supported Devices NetBSD/arm32 1.5 runs on a number of systems with ARM6 or later proces- sors, with or without FPU coprocessor. The minimal configuration is said to require 8 MB of RAM and 50 MB of disk space, though we do not know of anyone running with a system quite this minimal today. To install the en- tire system requires much more disk space (the unpacked binary distribu- tion, without sources, requires at least 65 MB without counting space needed for swap space, etc), and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended. (8 MB of RAM will actually allow you to run X and/or com- pile, but it won't be speedy. Note that until you have around 16 MB of RAM, getting more RAM is more important than getting a faster CPU.)

Unsupported devices o Acorn/Aleph1 PC cards o Any SCSI card using a PowerROM o Podule based serial ports o Castle SCSI/Ethernet cards Drivers are planned for some of the above devices. Getting the NetBSD System on to Useful Media You will need to have an installation kernel and possibly a boot applica- tion. See arm32/platform/prep for details. Installation is supported from several media types, including: o CD-ROM o MS-DOS floppy o FTP o Remote NFS partition o Tape o Existing NetBSD partitions, if performing an upgrade The steps necessary to prepare the distribution sets for installation de- pend upon which installation medium you choose. The steps for the vari- ous media are outlined below. CD-ROM Find out where the distribution set files are on the CD- ROM. Proceed to the instruction on installation. MS-DOS floppy Count the number of set_name.xx files that make up the distribution sets you want to install or upgrade. You will need one sixth that number of 1.44 MB floppies. Format all of the floppies with MS-DOS. Do not make any of them bootable MS-DOS floppies, i.e. don't use format /s to format them. (If the floppies are bootable, then the MS-DOS system files that make them bootable will take up some space, and you won't be able to fit the distribution set parts on the disks.) If you're using floppies that are formatted for MS-DOS by their manufacturers, they probably aren't bootable, and you can use them out of the box. Place all of the set_name.xx files on the MS-DOS disks. Once you have the files on MS-DOS disks, you can proceed to the next step in the installation or upgrade process. If you're installing NetBSD from scratch, go to the sec- tion on preparing your hard disk, below. If you're up- grading an existing installation, go directly to the sec- tion on upgrading. 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. You 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 nu- meric IP address of the router closest to the NetBSD ma- chine. 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 IP ad- dress of ftp.netbsd.org is 204.152.184.75 (as of October, 2000). 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 only 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. NFS Place the NetBSD distribution sets you wish to install in- to 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 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 it- self. 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 preparing your hard disk, below. If you're upgrading an existing installation, go directly to the section on up- grading. Note: This method of installation is recommended only 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. Tape To install NetBSD from a tape, you need to make a tape that contains the distribution set files, in `tar' format. If you're making the tape on a UNIX-like system, the easi- est way to do so is probably something like: # tar -cf tape_device dist_directories where tape_device is the name of the tape device that de- scribes the tape drive you're using; possibly /dev/rst0, or something similar, but it will vary from system to sys- tem. (If you can't figure it out, ask your system admin- istrator.) In the above example, dist_directories are the distribution sets' directories, for the distribution sets you wish to place on the tape. For instance, to put the misc, base, and etc distributions on tape (in order to do the absolute minimum installation to a new disk), you would do the following: # cd .../NetBSD-1.5 # cd arm32/binary # tar -cf tape_device misc etc kern Note: You still need to fill in tape_device in the example. Once you have the files on the tape, 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. Upgrade If you are upgrading NetBSD, you also have the option of installing NetBSD by putting the new distribution sets somewhere in your existing file system, and using them from there. To do that, you must do the following: Place the distribution sets you wish to upgrade somewhere in your current file system tree. Please note that the /dev on the floppy used for upgrades only knows about wd0, wd1, sd0, sd1, and sd2. If you have more than two IDE drives or more than three SCSI drives, you should take care not to place the sets on the high numbered drives. At a bare minimum, you must upgrade the base and kern bi- nary distributions, and so must put the base and kern sets somewhere in your file system. If you wish, you can do the other sets, as well, but you should not upgrade the etc distribution; it contains contains system configura- tion files that you should review and update by hand. Once you have done this, you can proceed to the next step in the upgrade process, actually upgrading your system. Preparing your System for NetBSD installation First and foremost, before beginning the installation process, make sure you have a reliable backup of any data on your hard disk that you wish to keep. Repartitioning your hard disk is an excellent way to destroy impor- tant data. Second, read and perform the instructions in arm32/platform/prep that are specific to your platform for partitioning and booting (even if you're dedicating a device to NetBSD). Finally, when you are happy with your NetBSD installation, do whatever is necessary to restore order to the partition you took space away from. This will most likely involve restoring files, but might involve some other ``house-work''. Your hard disk is now prepared to have NetBSD installed on it, and you should proceed with the installation instructions. Installing the NetBSD System Installing NetBSD is a relatively complex process, but if you have this document in hand and are careful to read and remember the information which is presented to you by the install program, it shouldn't be too much trouble. Before you begin, you should know the geometry of your hard disk, i.e. the sector size (note that sector sizes other than 512 bytes are not cur- rently supported), the number of sectors per track, the number of tracks per cylinder (also known as the number of heads), and the number of cylinders on the disk. The NetBSD kernel will try to discover these pa- rameters on its own, and if it can it will print them at boot time. If possible, you should use the parameters it prints. (You might not be able to because you're sharing your disk with another operating system, or because your disk is old enough that the kernel can't figure out its geometry.) If NetBSD will be sharing the disk with RiscOS or another operating sys- tem, you should have already completed the section of these notes that instructed you on how to prepare your hard disk. You should know the size of the NetBSD area of the disk and its offset from the beginning of the disk. You will need this information when setting up your NetBSD parti- tions. You should now be ready to install NetBSD. It might be handy for you to have a pencil, some paper, and a calculator handy. The following is a walk-through of the steps you will take while getting NetBSD installed on your hard disk. If any question has a default answer, it 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. Boot your machine using the installation kernel for your platform. (In- structions for doing this on your platform can be found in the prepara- tion section of this document.) If this doesn't work, ensure that you're using the correct kernel for your hardware. Depending upon your platform and the method of loading the, it may take a while to load the kernel. You will then be presented with the NetBSD kernel boot messages. You will want to read them, to determine your disk's name and geometry. 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 will need your disk's geometry when creating NetBSD 's partitions. You will also need to know the name, to tell the install tools what disk to install on. While booting, you will probably see several warnings. You should be warned that no swap space is present, and that init(8) cannot find /etc/rc. Do not be alarmed, these are completely normal. When you reach the prompt asking you for a shell name, just press RETURN. You will be asked if you wish to install or upgrade your system or go to a shell prompt. Enter install. You will be presented with a welcome message and a prompt, asking if you wish to proceed with the installation process. If you wish to proceed, enter `y' and press RETURN. You will be asked what type of disk driver you have. The valid options are listed by the install program, to make sure you get it right. The install program will then tell you which disks of that type it can install on, and ask you which it should use. Reply with the name of your disk. (The first disk of the type you selected, either wd0 for IDE disks, or sd0 for SCSI disks, is the default.) You will then be asked to name your disk's disklabel. The default re- sponse is `mywd' or `mysd' depending on the type of your disk, and for most purposes it will be OK. If you choose to name it something differ- ent, make sure the name is a single word and contains no special charac- ters. You don't need to remember this name. You will be prompted for your disk's geometry information, i.e. the num- ber of bytes per sector, cylinders on the disk, tracks per cylinder (heads), and sectors per track. Enter them when they are requested. If you make a mistake, press CONTROL-C and when you get to the shell prompt, restart the install process by running the install command. Once you have entered this data, the install program will tell you the total size of your disk, in both sectors, and cylinders. Remember this number; if you're installing on the whole disk, you'll need it again soon. When describing your partitions, you will have the option of entering da- ta about them in units of disk sectors or cylinders. If you choose to en- ter the information in units of sectors, remember that, for optimal per- formance, partitions should begin and end on cylinder boundaries. You will be asked about which units you wish to use, and you should reply with `c' for cylinders, or `s' for sectors. You will be asked for the size of the NetBSD portion of the disk. If you're installing on the whole disk, reply with the size of the disk, as printed earlier by the install program. If you're using only part of the disk, reply with the size that you specified in the partition editor. (Don't forget to enter the size in the units you specified in the last step!) If you are not installing on the whole disk, you will be asked for the offset of the NetBSD partition from the beginning of the disk. Reply with the appropriate offset (again, in whichever units you specified), as de- termined by how you set up your disk using the partition editor. You will be asked to enter the size of your NetBSD root partition (/). It should be at least 13 MB, but if you are going to be doing develop- ment, 14-16 MB is a more desirable size. This size should be expressed in units of sectors or cylinders, depending on which you said you wanted to use. Next, you will be asked for the size of your swap partition. You should probably allocate twice as much swap space as you have real memory. Sys- tems that will be heavily used should have more swap space allocated, and systems that will be lightly used can get by with less. If you want the system to be able to save crash dumps when it panics, you will need at least as much swap space as you have RAM. Again, this number should be expressed in units of sectors or cylinders, as appropriate. The install program will then ask you for information about the rest of the partitions you want on your disk. For most purposes, you will want only one more partition, /usr. (Machines used as servers will probably also want /var as a separate partition. That can be done with these in- stallation tools, but is not covered here.) The install program will tell you how much space there is left to be allocated in the NetBSD area of the disk, and, if you only want one more partition (/usr), you should en- ter it at the prompt when the installer asks you how large the next par- tition should be. It will then ask you for the name of the mount point for that partition. If you're doing a basic installation, that is /usr. 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, and its contents may be scrambled at the whim of the install program. This is especially likely if you have given the in- stall program incorrect information. If you are sure you want to proceed, enter yes at the prompt. 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. It will also create an /etc/fstab for your system, and mount all of the file systems under /mnt. (In other words, your / (root) partition will be mounted on /mnt, your /usr partition on /mnt/usr, and so on.) There should be no errors in this section of the installation. If there are, restart from the beginning of the installation process. You will be placed at a shell prompt ( `#'). The task is to install the distribution sets. The flow of installation differs depending on your hardware resources, and on what media the distribution sets reside. To install from floppy The first thing you should do is pick a temporary directory where the distribution files can be stored. To do this, enter the command Set_tmp_dir, and enter the name of the temporary directory. (Don't forget that if your disk is still mounted under /mnt; you should probably pick a directory under /mnt/usr.) After you have picked a temporary directory, enter the Load_fd command, to load the distribution sets from your floppies. You will be asked which floppy drive to use. Enter `0' (zero) if you're using the first floppy drive, or enter `1' if you're using the second. You will be prompted to insert a floppy into the drive, to have its con- tents copied to your hard disk. Do so, and press RETURN to begin copying. When that is done, read the remainder of the floppies that contain the distribution sets that you want to install, one by one. When the last is read, and you are being prompted for another, press CONTROL-C. Run the Extract command once for each distribution set you wish to in- stall. For instance, if you wish to install the base distribution set, followed by the text distribution set, and finally the etc distribution set, use the commands: # Extract base # Extract text # Extract etc For each extraction, it will ask you if the extraction should be verbose. If you reply affirmatively, it will print out the name of each file that's being extracted. Note: If you know that you will be running low on disk space when in- stalling NetBSD, you can load and extract one distribution set at a time. To do this, load only the floppies which contain the files for the first distribution set, extract them, and then change to the temporary directory and remove them with the command rm set_name.?? Once you are finished extracting all of the sets that you wish to in- stall, you should proceed to the instructions below (after the last in- stall medium type-specific instructions), that explain how you should configure your system. To install from tape The first thing you should do is pick a temporary directory where the distribution files can be stored. To do this, enter the command Set_tmp_dir, and enter the name of the temporary directory. (Don't forget that your disk is mounted under /mnt; you should probably pick a directo- ry under /mnt/usr.) The default is /mnt/usr/distrib. After you have picked a temporary directory, enter the Load_tape command, to load the distribution sets from tape. You will be asked which tape drive to use. The default is rst0, which is correct if you're using the SCSI tape drive with the lowest SCSI-ID num- ber. (For the SCSI tape drive with the next lowest SCSI-ID number, you should use rst1, and so on.) You will be prompted to press RETURN when you have inserted the tape into the tape drive. When you do, the contents of the tape will be extracted into the temporary directory, and the names of the files being extracted will be printed. After the tape has been extracted, to go the directory containing the first distribution set you wish to install. (Depending on how you made the tape, it's probably a subdirectory of the temporary directory you specified above.) Once there, run the Set_tmp_dir command again, and ac- cept its default answer by pressing return at the prompt. Use the Extract command to extract the distribution set. For instance, if you're extracting the base set, use the command: # Extract base You will be asked if you wish the extraction to be verbose. If you reply affirmatively, the name of each file being extracted will be printed. Repeat the previous two steps for each distribution set you wish to in- stall. Change to the set's directory, run Set_tmp_dir, and then run Extract set_name to extract the set. Once you are finished extracting all of the sets that you wish to in- stall, you should proceed to the instructions below (after the last in- stall medium type-specific instructions), that explain how you should configure your system. To install via FTP or NFS The first thing you should do is pick a temporary directory where the distribution files can be stored. To do this, enter the command Set_tmp_dir, and enter the name of the temporary directory. (Don't forget that your disk is mounted under /mnt; you should probably pick a directo- ry under /mnt/usr.) The default is /mnt/usr/distrib. Configure the appropriate ethernet interface (e.g. ea0, eb0, etc.) up, with a command like: ifconfig ifname ipaddr [netmask netmask] where ifname is the interface name, like those listed above, and ipaddr is the numeric IP address of the interface. If the interface has a spe- cial netmask, supply the word netmask and that netmask at the end of the command line. (The brackets indicate that those arguments are optional.) For instance, to configure interface ea0 with IP address 129.133.10.10, use the command: # ifconfig ea0 129.133.10.10 and to configure interface eb0 with IP address 128.32.240.167 and a spe- cial netmask, 0xffffff00, use the command: # ifconfig eb0 128.32.240.167 netmask 0xffffff00 If the NFS server or FTP server is not on a directly- connected network, you need to set up a route to it using a command like: route add default gate_ipaddr where gate_ipaddr is your gateway's numeric IP address. If you are NFS-mounting the distribution sets, mount them on the tempo- rary directory with a command like: mount -t nfs serv_ipaddr:dist_dir tmp_dir where serv_ipaddr is the server's numeric IP address, dist_dir is the path to the distribution files on the server, and tmp_dir is the name of the local temporary directory. Once this is done, proceed as if you had loaded the files from tape, changing to the appropriate directories, running Set_tmp_dir, and running Extract as appropriate. If you are retrieving the distribution sets using ftp, change into the temporary directory, and execute the command: ftp serv_ipaddr where serv_ipaddr is once again the server's numeric IP address. Get the files with FTP, taking care to use binary mode when transferring the files. Once you have all of the files for the distribution sets that you wish to install, you can proceed using the instructions above, as if you had in- stalled from a floppy. (Note that as with the floppy install, if you're short on disk space, you can transfer only one set at a time, extract it, then delete it, to save space.) To install from CD-ROM First create a mount point so that you can mount the CD-ROM: # mkdir /mnt/cdrom If you get an error here of ``mkdir: /mnt/cdrom'', don't worry it just means that you didn't need to create the directory. Then all you need to do is mount the CD-ROM. For the first CD-ROM drive use: # mount -rt cd9660 /dev/cd0a /mnt/cdrom Or, for the second use: # mount -rt cd9660 /dev/cd1a /mnt/cdrom Once this is done, extract the required sets as described in the To install from floppy section, but ensure that you set the temporary direc- tory to the location of the sets on the CD-ROM (usually /cdrom/distrib, but check the release notes that came with the CD). Completing your installation Once you have finished extracting all of the distribution sets that you wish to install, and are back at the `#' prompt, you are ready to config- ure your system. The configuration utility expects that you have in- stalled the base and etc distribution sets. If you have not, you will not be able to run it successfully (nor will you have a functional system, in any case). To configure your newly-installed NetBSD system, run the com- mand Configure. It will ask you for the system's host name, domain name, and other network configuration information. It will set up your configu- ration files and make the device nodes for the newly-installed system. Congratulations, you have successfully installed NetBSD 1.5. 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, the system will drop you into single user mode on first reboot with the message /etc/rc.conf is not configured. Multiuser boot aborted. and with the root file system (/) mounted read-write. When the sys- tem asks you to choose a shell, simply press 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 press 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. Default values for the various pro- grams can be found in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, where some in-line doc- umentation may be found. More complete documentation can be found in rc.conf(5). If your /usr directory is on a separate partition and you do not know how to use ed, you will have to mount your /usr partition to gain access to ex or vi. Do the following: # mount /usr # export TERM=vt220 If you have /var on a separate partition, you need to repeat that step for it. After that, you can edit /etc/rc.conf with vi(1). When you have finished, type exit at the prompt to leave the single-user shell and continue with the multi-user boot. Other values that need to be set in /etc/rc.conf for a networked en- vironment 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 adventur- ous) run named(8). See resolv.conf(5) or named(8) for more informa- tion. Other files in /etc that may require modification or setting up in- clude /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf, and /etc/wscons.conf. For Digital DNARD machines you will need to edit /etc/ttys and change the console terminal type from vt100 to pc3. 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 environment, you should create an account for yourself (see below) and protect it and the ``root'' account with good passwords. Unless you have connected an unusual terminal device as the console you can just press RETURN when it prompts for Terminal type? [...] 3. Adding accounts Use the useradd(8) command to add accounts to your system, do not edit /etc/passwd directly. See useradd(8) for more information on how to add a new user to the system. 4. The X Window System If you have installed the X window system, look at the files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc for information. You will need to set up a configuration file, see /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.eg for an example. The xf86config(1) utility can interactively create a first version of such a configu- ration file for you. See http://www.xfree86.org/ and the XFree86 manual page for more information. Don't forget to add /usr/X11R6/bin to your path in your shell's dot file so that you have access to the X binaries. 5. Installing third party packages If you wish to install any of the software freely available for UNIX-like systems you are strongly advised to first check the NetBSD package system. This automatically handles any changes necessary to make the software run on NetBSD, retrieval and installation of any other packages on which the software may depend, and simplifies in- stallation (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 browsable listing of available packages 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/ o Package sources for compiling packages can be obtained by re- trieving the file ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD- current/tar_files/pkgsrc.tar.gz They are typically extracted into /usr/pkgsrc (though other lo- cations work fine), as with the command: # mkdir /usr/pkgsrc; tar -C /usr/pkgsrc -zxpf pkgsrc.tar.gz After extracting, then see the README file in the extraction di- rectory (e.g. /usr/pkgsrc/README) for more information. 6. Misc o Edit /etc/mail/aliases to forward root mail to the right place (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. 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 manu- al; so just invoking # man 5 filename is likely to give you more information on these files. Upgrading a previously-installed NetBSD System Upgrading from a previous version of NetBSD isn't currently supported by NetBSD/arm32. If you are currently running NetBSD/arm32 then make a FULL BACKUP of your current installation, and install NetBSD 1.5 from scratch. Obviously some of the steps can be skipped (in particular, hard disk par- titioning) as they will already be done. 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 1.5. General issues o /etc/rc modified to use /etc/rc.d/* In previous releases of NetBSD, /etc/rc was a traditional BSD style monolithic file. As of NetBSD 1.5, each discrete program or substem from /etc/rc and /etc/netstart has been moved into separate scripts in /etc/rc.d/. At system startup, /etc/rc uses rcorder(8) to build a dependency list of the files in /etc/rc.d and then executes each script in turn with an argument of `start'. Many rc.d scripts won't start unless the ap- propriate rc.conf(5) entry in /etc/rc.conf is set to `YES.' At system shutdown, /etc/rc.shutdown uses rcorder(8) to build a de- pendency list of the files in /etc/rc.d that have a ``KEYWORD: shutdown'' line, reverses the resulting list, and then executes each script in turn with an argument of `stop'. The following scripts support a specific shutdown method: cron, inetd, local, and xdm. Local and third-party scripts may be installed into /etc/rc.d as nec- essary. Refer to the other scripts in that directory and rc(8) for more information on implementing rc.d scripts. Issues affecting an upgrading from NetBSD 1.4 or later o named(8) leaks version information Previous releases of NetBSD disabled a feature of named(8) where the version number of the server could be determined by remote clients. This feature has not been disabled in NetBSD 1.5, because there is a named.conf(5) option to change the version string: option { version "newstring"; }; o 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. o sendmail(8) configuration file pathname changed Due to sendmail(8) upgrade from 8.9.x to 8.10.x, /etc/sendmail.cf is moved to /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. Also, the default sendmail.cf(5) refers different pathnames than before. For example, /etc/aliases is now located at /etc/mail/aliases, /etc/sendmail.cw is now called /etc/mail/local-host-names, and so forth. If you have customized sendmail.cf(5) and friends, you will need to move the files to the new locations. See /usr/share/sendmail/README for more information. Using online NetBSD documentation Documentation is available if you first install the manual distribution set. Traditionally, the ``man pages'' (documentation) are denoted by `name(section)'. Some examples of this are 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 sec- tion should not be entered, but rather indicate that the section is op- tional. If you don't ask for a particular section, the topic with the lowest numbered section name will be displayed. For instance, after log- ging in, enter # man passwd to read the documentation for passwd(1). To view the documentation for passwd(5), enter # man 5 passwd instead. If you are unsure of what man page you are looking for, enter apropos subject-word where subject-word is your topic of interest; a list of possibly related man pages will be displayed. Administrivia If you've got something to say, do so! We'd like your input. There are various mailing lists available via the mailing list server at majordomo@netbsd.org. To get help on using the mailing list server, send mail to that address with an empty body, and it will reply with instruc- tions. There are various mailing lists set up to deal with comments and ques- tions 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 in- clude 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 be- low). 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. Thanks go to o The former members of UCB's Computer Systems Research Group, includ- ing (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.
