INSTALLATION NOTES for NetBSD/amiga 1.3
Be sure to read _ALL_ of this document before you try to install
NetBSD/amiga.
What is NetBSD?
---- -- ------
The NetBSD Operating System is a fully functional UN*X-like system
derived from the Berkeley Networking Release 2 (Net/2), 4.4BSD-Lite,
and 4.4BSD-Lite2 sources. NetBSD runs on many architectures and is
being ported to more.
NetBSD is a creation of the members of the Internet community.
Without the unique cooperation and coordination the net makes
possible, it's likely that this release wouldn't have come about.
The NetBSD 1.3 release is a landmark. Building upon the successful
NetBSD 1.2 release, we have provided numerous and significant
functional enhancements, including support for many new devices,
integration of many bug fixes, 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 summarize the 18 months of development that went
into the NetBSD 1.3 release. Some of the significant changes include:
Support for machine independent device drivers has been
radically improved with the addition of the "bus.h" interface,
providing a high quality abstraction for machine and
architecture independent device access.
The bus_dma interface has also been integrated, providing a
machine-independent abstraction for DMA mapping. This permits many
good things, including (among many) clean multi-platform
bounce buffer support.
Framework support for ISA "Plug and Play" has been added, as
well as support for numerous "Plug and Play" devices.
APM support has been added to NetBSD/i386.
An initial cut of multi-platform PCMCIA support has been added.
Support for ATAPI devices (initially just ATAPI CD-ROM drives)
has been added.
Support for Sun 3/80s (sun3x architecture) has been added.
Support for R4000 DECstations has been added.
Integration/merger of 4.4BSD Lite-2 sources into userland
programs has nearly been completed.
Most of userland now compiles with high levels of gcc warnings
turned on, which has lead to the discovery and elimination of
many bugs.
The i386 boot blocks have been completely replaced with a new,
libsa based two stage boot system. This has permitted
integration of compressed boot support (see below).
Many ports now support booting of compressed kernels, and
feature new "Single Floppy" install systems that boot
compressed install kernels and ramdisks. We intend to do
substantial work on improving ease of installation in the
future.
"ypserv" has been added, thus completing our support for the
"yp" network information system suite.
Support for the Linux "ext2fs" filesystem and for FAT32 "msdosfs"
filesystems has been added.
TCP now has a SYN "compressed state engine" which provides
increased robustness under high levels of received SYNs (as in
the case of "SYN flood" attacks.) (Much of this code was
derived from sources provided by BSDI.)
An initial implementation of Path MTU discovery has been
integrated (though it is not turned on by default).
An initial kernel based random number generator pseudodevice has
been added.
Several major fixes have been integrated for the VM subsystem,
including the fix of a notorious VM leak, improved
synchronization between mmap()ed and open()ed files, and
massively improved performance in low real memory conditions.
A new swap subsystem has radically improved configuration and
management of swap devices and adds swapping to files.
Userland ntp support, including xntpd, has been integrated.
The audio subsystems have been substantially debugged and
improved, and now offer substantial emulation of the OSS audio
interface, thus providing the ability to cleanly run emulated
Linux and FreeBSD versions of sound intensive programs.
A "packages" system has been adapted from FreeBSD and will
provide binary package installations for third party
applications.
The XFree86 X source tree has been made a supported part of
the NetBSD distribution, and X servers (if built for this
port), libraries and utilities are now shipped with our releases.
The ftp(1) program has been made astoundingly overfunctional.
It supports command line editing, tab completion, status bars,
automatic download of URLs specified on the command line,
firewall support and many other features.
All ports now use "new" config. Old config has been laid to rest.
The ARP subsystem and API has been rewritten to make it less
ethernet-centric.
A new if_media subsystem has been added which allows network
interfaces to be configured using media type names rather than
device-specific mode bits.
Many kernel interface manual pages have been added to manual
section 9.
Several ports support much more hardware.
Many updates to bring NetBSD closer to standards compliance.
Most third party packages have been updated to the latest stable
release.
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 1.3 also includes some refinement to the NetBSD binary emulation
system (which includes FreeBSD, HP-UX, iBCS2, Linux, OSF/1, SunOS, SVR4,
Solaris and Ultrix compatibility), bringing NetBSD closer to the goal of
making the emulation as accurate as possible.
In the near future, we hope to integrate a fully rewritten Virtual
Memory subsystem, kernel threads, and SMP support.
This is the fourth public release of NetBSD for the Amiga and DraCo
line of computers. Several additional SCSI boards are now supported,
as well as Amiga audio and FPU-less 68020/68030 systems; the DraCo
port supports the on-board serial and parallel interface and the
battery backed clock now.
The Future of NetBSD:
--- ------ -- ------
The NetBSD Foundation has been incorporated as a non-profit
organization. Its purpose is to encourage, foster and promote the
free exchange of computer software, namely the NetBSD Operating
System. The foundation will allow for many things to be handled more
smoothly than could be done with our previous informal organization.
In particular, it provides the framework to deal with other parties
that wish to become involved in the NetBSD Project.
The NetBSD Foundation will help improve the quality of NetBSD by:
* providing better organization to keep track of development
efforts, including co-ordination with groups working in
related fields.
* providing a framework to receive donations of goods and
services and to own the resources necessary to run the
NetBSD Project.
* providing a better position from which to undertake
promotional activities.
* periodically organizing workshops for developers and other
interested people to discuss ongoing work.
We hope to have regular releases of the full binary and source trees,
but these are difficult to coordinate, especially with all of the
architectures which we now support!
We hope to support even _more_ hardware in the future, and have a
rather large number of other ideas about what can be done to improve
NetBSD.
We intend to continue our current practice of making the
NetBSD-current development source available on a daily basis.
We intend to integrate free, positive changes from whatever sources
will provide them, providing that they are well thought-out and
increase the usability of the system.
Above all, we hope to create a stable and accessible system, and to be
responsive to the needs and desires of NetBSD users, because it is for
and because of them that NetBSD exists.

NetBSD 1.3 Release Contents:
------ --- ------- --------
The NetBSD 1.3 release is organized in the following way:
.../NetBSD-1.3/
BUGS Known bugs list (incomplete
and out of date).
CHANGES Changes since NetBSD's last
release (and before).
LAST_MINUTE Last minute changes.
MIRRORS A list of sites that mirror
the NetBSD 1.3 distribution.
README.files README describing the
distribution's contents.
TODO NetBSD's todo list (incomplete
and out of date).
patches/ Post-release source code
patches.
source/ Source distribution sets; see
below.
In addition to the files and directories listed above, there is one
directory per architecture, for each of the architectures for which
NetBSD 1.3 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 (i.e. the `domestic' portion) that may be subject to
export regulations of the United States. 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:
secrsrc.tgz:
This set contains the "domestic" sources. These
sources may be subject to United States export
regulations.
[ 412K gzipped, 1.8M 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.
[ 15.6M gzipped, 66.4M uncompressed ]
syssrc.tgz:
This set contains the sources to the NetBSD 1.3
kernel, config(8), and dbsym(8).
[ 10.7M gzipped, 50.0M uncompressed ]
sharesrc.tgz:
This set contains the "share" sources, which include
the sources for the man pages not associated with
any particular program, the sources for the
typesettable document set, the dictionaries, and more.
[ 2.9M gzipped, 11.1M uncompressed ]
src.tgz:
This set contains all of the NetBSD 1.3 sources which
are not mentioned above.
[ 13.9M gzipped, 60.7M uncompressed ]
It is worth noting that unless all of the source distribution sets
are installed (except the domestic set), you can't rebuild and install
the system from scratch, straight out of the box. However, all that is
required to rebuild the system in that case is a trivial modification
to one Makefile.
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
unpacked 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 integrity 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.
The Amiga-specific portion of the NetBSD 1.3 release is found in the
"amiga" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid
out as follows:
.../NetBSD-1.3/amiga/
INSTALL Installation notes; this file.
binary/
kernel/ The GENERIC kernel.
sets/ Amiga binary distribution sets;
see below.
Split/ .tgz files split for loading onto
floppies.
security/ Amiga security distribution;
see below;
installation/
miniroot/ Amiga miniroot file system
image; see below.
misc/ Miscellaneous Amiga
installation utilities; see
installation section, below.
The Amiga now uses a single miniroot filesystem for both an initial
installation and for an upgrade. A gzipped version is available, for easier
downloading. (The gzipped version have the ".gz" extension added to
their names.)
Miniroot file system:
This file contains a BSD root file system setup to help you
install the rest of NetBSD or to upgrade a previous version of
NetBSD. This includes formatting and mounting your root and
/usr partitions and getting ready to extract (and possibly first
fetching) the distribution sets. There is enough on this file
system to allow you to make a SLIP or PPP connection, configure
an Ethernet, mount an NFS file system or ftp. You can also load
distribution sets from a SCSI tape or from one of your existing
AmigaDOS partitions.
This file is named "miniroot.fs".
The NetBSD/Amiga binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
comprise the NetBSD 1.3 release for the Amiga. There are seven standard
binary distribution sets, 5 X11 distribution sets, and the "security"
distribution set. The standard and X11 binary distribution sets can be
found in the "amiga/binary/sets" subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.3
distribution tree, and are as follows:
base The NetBSD/Amiga 1.3 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.
[ 8.7M gzipped, 25.2M uncompressed ]
comp The NetBSD/Amiga Compiler tools. All of the tools
relating to C, C++, and FORTRAN (yes, there are two!).
This set includes the system include files
(/usr/include), the linker, the compiler tool chain,
and the various system libraries (except the shared
libraries, which are included as part of the base
set). This set also includes the manual pages for all
of the utilities it contains, as well as the system
call and library manual pages.
[ 6.5M gzipped, 22.9M 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.)
[ 52K gzipped, 320K uncompressed ]
games This set includes the games and their manual pages.
[ 2.8M gzipped, 7.2M 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.
[ 2.4M gzipped, 10.0M uncompressed ]
misc This set includes the system dictionaries (which are
rather large), the typesettable document set, and
man pages for other architectures which happen to be
installed from the source tree by default.
[ 2.1M gzipped, 8.1M uncompressed ]
text This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
including groff, all related programs, and their
manual pages.
[ 960K gzipped, 3.7M uncompressed ]
xbase The basic files needed for a complete X
client environment. This does not include
the X servers.
[ 2.4M gzipped, 7.4M uncompressed ]
xcomp The extra libraries and include files needed
to compile X source code.
[ 1.6M gzipped, 6.7M uncompressed ]
xcontrib Programs that were contributed to X.
[ 178k gzipped, 670k uncompressed ]
xfont Fonts needed by X.
[ 5.7M gzipped, 7M uncompressed ]
xserver Amiga X servers.
[ 1.5M gzipped, 3.7M unzipped ]
The Amiga security distribution set is named "secr" and can be found in
the "amiga/binary/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.3
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 decryption
function. The security distribution includes a version of the
Kerberos IV network security system, and a Kerberized version of the
"telnet" program. The "secr" distribution set can be found only on
those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and which can
legally obtain it. (Remember, because of United States law, it may
not be legal to distribute this set to locations outside of the United
States and Canada.)
[ 798K gzipped, 2.4M uncompressed ]
The Amiga binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files
named with the extension ".tgz", e.g. "base.tgz". They are also
available in split form -- catted together, the members of a split set
form a gzipped tar file. Each Amiga binary distribution set also has
its own checksum files, just as the source distribution sets do.
The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally
well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that
method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory. That
is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e.
replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xfp"
from /. Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those
programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced unless
you run "tar" with the "--unlink" option. If you follow the normal
installation or upgrade procedures, this will be taken care of for
you.
NetBSD System Requirements and Supported Devices:
------ ------ ------------ --- --------- -------
NetBSD/amiga 1.3 runs on any Amiga that has a 68020 or better CPU with
some form of MMU, and on 68060 DraCos.
For 68020 and 68030 systems, a FPU is recommended but not required.
68LC040, 68040V and 68LC060 systems don't work correctly at the moment.
The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and about 75M 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. (4M of
RAM will actually allow you to compile, however it won't be speedy. X
really isn't usable on a 4M system.)
Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install:
partition: advise, with X, needed, with X
root (/) 20M 20M 15M 15M
user (/usr) 95M 125M 75M 105M
swap ----- 2M for every M ram -----
local (/usr/local) up to you
As you may note the recommended size of /usr is 20M greater than
needed. This is to leave room for a kernel source and compile tree as
you will probably want to compile your own kernel. (GENERIC is large
and bulky to accommodate all people).
If you only have 4M of fast memory, you should make your swap partition
larger, as your system will be doing much more swapping.
Supported devices include:
A4000/A1200 IDE controller.
SCSI host adapters:
33c93 based boards: A2091, A3000 builtin and GVP series II.
53c80 based boards: 12 Gauge, IVS, Wordsync/Bytesync and

If its not on the above lists, there is no support for it in this
release. Especially (but this is an incomplete list), there is no
driver for:
Blizzard III SCSI option, Cyberstorm Mk III SCSI option,
Ferret SCSI, Oktagon SCSI.
Known problems with some hardware:
*) the Emplant SCSI adapter has been reported by a party to
hang after doing part of the installation without problems.
**) CV64/3d is not used, if in a Zorro II machine. Experimental
support for this mode is in the kernel sources, and you can try
it by using ``option "CV3DONZORRO2"'' in your kernel configuration
file when compiling your own custom kernel.
***) SCSI scanner support is machine independent, so it should
work, but hasn't been tested yet on most Amiga configurations.
There are reports that the Mustek and HP Scanjet hang if
accessed from the A3000. This might apply to other
33C93-Adapters, too.
****) Our floppy driver doesn't notice when mounted floppies are
write-protected at the moment. Your floppy will stay
unchanged, but you might not notice that you didn't write
anything due to the buffer cache. Also note that HD floppy
drives only get detected as such if a HD floppy is inserted at
boot time.
Getting the NetBSD System on to Useful Media:
------- --- ------ ------ -- -- ------ -----
Installation is supported from several media types, including:
AmigaDOS HD partitions
Tape
NFS partitions
FTP
NetBSD partitions, if doing an upgrade.
The miniroot file system needs to be transferred to the NetBSD swap
partition. This can be done from AmigaDOS in the case of a new
install or upgrade, or from NetBSD when doing an upgrade. See the
"Preparing your System for NetBSD Installation" section for details.
The steps necessary to prepare the distribution sets
for installation depend on which method of installation
you choose. The various methods are explained below.
To prepare for installing via an AmigaDOS partition:
To install NetBSD from an AmigaDOS partition, you need to
get the NetBSD distribution sets you wish to install
on your system on to an AmigaDOS partition. All of the
set_name.xx pieces can be placed in a single directory
instead of separate ones for each distribution set. This
will also simplify the installation work later on.
Note where you place the files you will need this later.
Once you have done this, you can proceed to the next
step in the installation process, preparing your hard disk.
To prepare for installing via a tape:
To install NetBSD from a tape, you need to somehow
get the NetBSD file sets you wish to install on
your system on to the appropriate kind of tape.
If you're making the tape on a UN*X system, the easiest
way to do so is:
dd if=<first file> of=<tape device>
dd if=<2nd file> of=<tape device>
...
where "<tape_device>" is the name of the non-rewinding tape
device that describes the tape drive you're using (possibly
something like /dev/nrst0, but we make no guarantees 8-).
If you can't figure it out, ask your system administrator.
"<files>" are the names of the "set_name.tgz" files
which you want to be placed on the tape.
If you have a slow cpu (e.g. 68030 @ 25 MHz) on the target
machine, but big tapes, you might want to store the
uncompressed installation sets instead. This will help tape
streaming when doing the actual installation. E.g, do:
gzip -d -c <first file> | dd of=<tape device>
gzip -d -c <2nd file> | dd of=<tape device>
...
Once you have done this, you can proceed to the next
step in the installation process, preparing your hard disk.
To prepare for installing via an NFS partition:
NOTE: this method of installation is recommended
only for those already familiar with using
the BSD network-manipulation commands and
interfaces. If you aren't, this documentation
should help, but is not intended to be
all-encompassing.
Place the NetBSD software you wish to install into
a directory on an NFS server, and make that directory
mountable by the machine which you will be installing
NetBSD on. This will probably require modifying the
/etc/exports file of the NFS server and resetting
mountd, acts which will require superuser privileges.
Note the numeric IP address of the NFS server and of
the router closest to the the new NetBSD machine,
if the NFS server is not on a network which is
directly attached to the NetBSD machine.
Once you have done this, you can proceed to the next
step in the installation process, preparing your hard disk.
To prepare for installing via FTP:
NOTE: this method of installation is recommended
only for those already familiar with using
the BSD network-manipulation commands and
interfaces. If you aren't, this documentation
should help, but is not intended to be
all-encompassing.
The preparations for this method of installation
are easy: all you have to do is make sure that
there's some FTP site from which you can retrieve
the NetBSD installation when it's time to do
the install. You should know the numeric IP
address of that site, the numeric IP address of
your nearest router if one is necessary
Once you have done this, you can proceed to the next
step in the installation process, preparing your hard disk.
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. At a bare minimum, you must
upgrade the "base" binary distribution, and so must put the
"base" set somewhere in your file system. If you wish,
you can do the other sets, as well, but you should NOT upgrade
the "etc" distribution; the "etc" distribution contains system
configuration 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:
--------- ---- ------ --- ------ ------------
You will need an AmigaDOS hard drive prep tool to prepare your hard
drives for use with NetBSD/Amiga. HDToolBox is provided with the
system software and on floppy installation disks since Release 2.0
of AmigaDOS, so we will provide instructions for its use.
Preparing you hard disk with HDToolBox:
A full explanation of HDToolBox can be found with your
AmigaDOS manuals and is beyond the scope of this document.
The first time you partition a drive, you need to set its drive
type so that you have working geometry parameters. To do this
you enter the "Change drive type" menu, and either use "read
parameters from drive" or set them manually.
Note you will be modifying your HD's. If you mess something
up here you could lose everything on all the drives that
you configure. It is therefore advised that you:
Write down your current configurations. Do this
by examining each partition on the drive and the
drives parameters (from Change drive type.)
Back up the partitions you are keeping.
What you need to do is partition your drives; creating at least
root, swap and /usr partitions and possibly at least one more for
/usr/local if you have the space.
This should be done as the HDToolBox manual describes. One thing
to note is that if you are not using a Commodore controller you
will need to specify the device your SCSI controller uses, e.g.
if you have a Warp Engine you would:
from cli,
hdtoolbox warpdrive.device
from wb set the tooltype,
SCSI_DEVICE_NAME=warpdrive.device
The important things you need to do above and beyond normal
partitioning includes (from Partition Drive section):
Marking all NetBSD partitions as non-bootable, with
two exceptions: the root partition, if you want to boot
NetBSD directly, or the swap partition, if you want
to boot the installation miniroot directly.
Changing the file system parameters of the partitions
to NetBSD ones. This must be done from the
partitioning section and `Advanced options' must
be enabled. To Make the needed changes:
- Click the `Adv. Options' button
- Click the `Change file system' button
- Choose `Custom File System'
- Turn off `Automount' if on.
- Set the dostype to one of these three choices:
root partition : 0x4e425207
swap partition : 0x4e425301
other partitions: 0x4e425507
Here `other' refers to other partitions you will
format for reading and writing under NetBSD (e.g.
/usr)
Make sure you hit the return key to enter this value
as some versions of HDToolBox will forget your entry
if you don't.
- Turn custom boot code off
- Set Reserved Blocks start and end to 0.
- Click Ok.
On the root (and, for installation, swap) partition,
set instead this:
- Turn custom boot code on
- Set Reserved Blocks start and end to 0.
- Set Number of Custom Boot Blocks to 16
- Set Automount This Partition on
- Click Ok.
Mask and maxtransfer are not used with NetBSD.
Once this is done NetBSD/Amiga will be able to recognize your
disks and which partitions it should use.
Transferring the miniroot file system:
The NetBSD/Amiga installation or upgrade now uses a "miniroot"
file system which is installed on the partition used by NetBSD
for swapping. This removes the requirement of using a floppy
disk for the file system used by the installation or upgrade
process. It also allows more utilities to be present on the
file system than would be available when using an 880K floppy
disk.
Once the hard disk has been prepared for NetBSD, the miniroot
file system (miniroot.fs) is transferred to the swap
partition configured during the hard disk prep (or the existing
swap partition in the case of an upgrade). The xstreamtodev
utility provided in the "amiga/installation/misc" directory can
be used on AmigaDOS to transfer the file system for either a new
installation or an upgrade. The file system can also be
transferred on an existing NetBSD system for an update by
using dd. This should only be done after booting NetBSD
into single-user state. It may also be possible to shutdown
to single-user, providing that the single-user state processes
are not using the swap partition.
On AmigaDOS, the command:
xstreamtodev --input=miniroot.fs --rdb-name=<swap partition>
where <swap partition> is the name you gave to the NetBSD
partition to be used for swapping. If xstreamtodev is unable
to determine the SCSI driver device name or the unit number
of the specified partition, you may also need to include the
option "--device=<driver.name>" and/or "--unit=<SCSI unit number>".
To transfer the miniroot using NetBSD, you should be booted up
in single user state on the current NetBSD system, or use the
"shutdown now" command to shutdown to single-user state. Then
copy the miniroot using dd:
dd if=miniroot.fs of=/dev/rsd0b
where /dev/rsd0b should be the device path of the swap partition
your system is configured to use. Once the file is copied,
reboot back to AmigaDOS to boot the upgrade kernel.
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 must have already prepared your hard disk as
detailed in the section on preparing your system for install.
The following is a walk-through of the steps necessary to get NetBSD
installed on your hard disk. If you wish to stop the installation,
you may hit Control-C at any prompt, but if you do, you'll have to
begin again from scratch.
Transfer the miniroot file system onto the hard disk partition
used by NetBSD for swapping, as described in the "Preparing
your System for NetBSD Installation" section above.
* Booting from AmigaOS, using loadbsd:
You then need to have "ixemul.library" in your LIBS: directory
on AmigaDOS. You also need to have the "loadbsd" program
in your command path. If AmigaDOS complains about loadbsd
not being an executable file, be sure that the "Execute"
protection bit is set. If not, set it with the command:
Protect loadbsd add e
Next you need to get yourself into NetBSD by loading the
kernel from AmigaDOS with loadbsd like so:
loadbsd -b netbsd
If you have an AGA machine, and your monitor will handle
the dblNTSC mode, you may also include the "-A" option to
enable the dblNTSC display mode.
If your machine has a fragmented physical memory space, as,
e.g., DraCo machines, you should add the "-n2" option to
enable the use of all memory segments.
* Directly booting NetBSD, with boot blocks installed:
[This description is for V40 (OS 3.1) ROMs. For older ROMs,
there might be small differences. Check your AmigaOS documentation
to learn about the exact procedure.]
[XXX should note someplace that using bootblocks may not work on some
systems, and may require a mountable filesystem on others?]
Reboot your machine, holding down both mouse buttons if you
have a 2-button mouse, the outer mouse buttons if you have
a 3-button mouse. On the DraCo, press the left mouse button
instead, when the boot screen prompts you for it.
From the boot menu, select "Boot Options".
Select the swap partition with the miniroot, and then "ok".
Select "Boot" now. The machine will boot the bootblock, which
will prompt your for a command line. You have a few seconds time
to change the default. Entering an empty line will accept the
default.
The bootblock uses command lines of the form:
file options
where file is the kernel file name on the partition where the
boot block is on, and options are the same as with loadbsd.
E.g., instead of "loadbsd -bsSn2 netbsd" use "netbsd -bsSn2".
* Once your kernel boots:
You should see the screen clear and some information about
your system as the kernel configures the hardware. Note which
hard disk device(s) are configured (sd0, sd1, etc). Then
you will be prompted for a root device. At this time type
'sd0b', where '0' is the device which contains the swap
partition you created during the hard disk preparation.
If the system should hang after entering the root device, try
again with
loadbsd -I ff -b netbsd
This disables synchronous transfer on all SCSI devices.
The system should continue to boot. For now ignore WARNING:
messages about bad dates in clocks, and a warning about /etc/rc
not existing. Eventually you will be be asked to enter the
pathname of the shell, just hit return. After a short while,
you will be asked to select the type of your keyboard. After
you have entered a valid response here, the system asks you if
you want to install or upgrade your system. Since you are
reading the 'install' section, 'i' would be the proper
response here...
The installer starts with a nice welcome messages. Read this
message carefully, it also informs you of the risks involved
in continuing! If you still want to go on, type 'y'. The
installer now continues by trying to figure out your disk
configuration. When it is done, you will be prompted to
select a root device from the list of disks it has found.
You should know at this point that the disks are NOT numbered
according to their scsi-id! The NetBSD kernel numbers the scsi
drives (and other devices on the scsi bus) sequentially as it
finds them. The drive with the lowest scsi id will be called sd0,
the next one sd1, etc. Also, any Amiga internal IDE disk drives
will be configured as "SCSI" drives, and will be configured
before any 'real' SCSI drives (if any are present).
YOU ARE NOW AT THE POINT OF NO RETURN. If you confirm that
you want to install NetBSD, your hard drive will be modified,
and perhaps its contents scrambled at the whim of the install
program. Type Control-C NOW if you don't want this.
At this time, you will need to tell the installer which partition
will be associated with the different filesystems.
The install program will now make the the file systems you
specified. There should be only one error per file system in
this section of the installation. It will look like this:
newfs: ioctl (WDINFO): Invalid argument
newfs: /dev/rsd0a: can't rewrite disk label
If there are any others, restart from the the beginning of
the installation process. This error is ok as the Amiga
does not write disklabels currently. You should expect
this error whenever using newfs.
The install will now ask you want to configure any network
information. It ill ask for the machine's host name, domain
name, and other network configuration information.
Since the network configuration might have lead to additional (nfs)
filesystem entries, you get another chance to modify your fstab.
You are finally at the point where some real data will be put on
your freshly made filesystems. Select the device type you wish
to install from and off you go....
Some notes:
- If you want to install from tape, please read the section
about how to create such a tape.
- Some tapes (e.g. Archive Viper 150) refuse to operate with
the default tape density ("nrst0"). Try "nrst0h",
"nrst0m", or "nrst0l" instead.
- Install at least the base and etc sets.
- If you have to specify a path relative to the mount-point and
you need the mount-point itself, enter '.'.
Next you will be asked to specify the timezone. Just select the
timezone you are in. The installer will make the correct setup
on your root filesystem. After the timezone-link is installed,
the installer will proceed by creating the device nodes on your
root filesystem.
Be patient, this will take a while...
Finally, the installer ask you if you want to install the bootblock
code on your root disk. This is a matter of personal choice and can
also be done from a running NetBSD system. See the 'installboot(8)'
manual page about how to do this.
Once the installer is done, halt the system with the "halt" command
(wait for "halted" to be displayed) and reboot. Then again boot
NetBSD this time with the command:
loadbsd netbsd
or select the root partition from the boot menu, and tell it to boot
netbsd -s
You need to do your final tweaks now. First mount your file systems
like so:
mount -av
Your system is now complete but not completely configured; you
should adjust the /etc/sendmail.cf file as necessary to suit your
site. You should also examine and adjust the settings in /etc/rc.conf.
You can use vi or ed to edit the files. If you installed the man pages
you can type `man vi' or `man ed' for instructions on how to use these
somewhat non-intuitive editors.
Once you are done with the rest of configuration unmount your file
systems and halt your system, then reboot:
cd /
umount -av
halt
<reboot>
Finally you can now boot your system and it will be completely
functional:
loadbsd -a netbsd
When it boots off of the hard drive, you will have a complete
NetBSD system! CONGRATULATIONS! (You really deserve them!!!)
Upgrading a previously-installed NetBSD System:
--------- - ---------- --------- ------ ------
The upgrade to NetBSD 1.3 is a binary upgrade; it would be prohibitive
to make users upgrade by compiling and installing the 1.3 sources, and
it would be very difficult to even compile a set of instructions that
allowed them to do so. Because of the various changes to the system,
it is impractical to upgrade by recompiling from the sources and
installing.
To do the upgrade, you must have the NetBSD kernel on AmigaDOS and
you must transfer the miniroot file system miniroot.fs onto the swap
partition of the NetBSD hard disk. You must also have at least the
"base" binary distribution set available, so that you can upgrade
with it, 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 and /usr partitions, you should have enough space.
Since upgrading involves replacing 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.
To upgrade your system, follow the following instructions:
Transfer the miniroot file system onto the hard disk partition
used by NetBSD for swapping, as described in the "Preparing
your System for NetBSD Installation" section above.
Now boot up NetBSD using the 1.3 kernel using the loadbsd
command:
loadbsd -b netbsd
If you machine has a split memory space, like, e.g., DraCo
machines, use this instead:
loadbsd -bn2 netbsd
* Directly booting NetBSD, with boot blocks installed:
[This description is for V40 (OS 3.1) ROMs. For older ROMs,
there might be small differences. Check your AmigaOS documentation
to learn about the exact procedure.]
[XXX another note about bootblock support?]
Reboot your machine, holding down both mouse buttons if you
have a 2-button mouse, the outer mouse buttons if you have
a 3-button mouse. On the DraCo, press the left mouse button
instead, when the boot screen prompts you for it.
From the boot menu, select "Boot Options".
Select the swap partition with the miniroot, and then "ok".
Select "Boot" now. The machine will boot the bootblock, which
will prompt your for a command line. You have a few seconds time
to change the default. Entering an empty line will accept the
default.
The bootblock uses command lines of the form:
file options
where file is the kernel file name on the partition where the
boot block is on, and options are the same as with loadbsd.
E.g., instead of "loadbsd -bsSn2 netbsd" use "netbsd -bsSn2".
* Once your kernel boots:
You should see the screen clear and some information about
your system as the kernel configures the hardware. Note which
hard disk device is configured that contains your root and
swap partition. When prompted for the root device, type
'sd0b' (replacing 0 with the disk number that NetBSD used for
your root/swap device). When you reach the prompt asking you
for a shell name, just hit return.
You will be presented with some information about the upgrade
process and a warning message, and will be asked if you wish
to proceed with the upgrade process. If you answer
negatively, the upgrade process will stop, and your disk will
not be modified. If you answer affirmatively, the upgrade
process will begin, and your disk will be modified. You may
hit Control-C to stop the upgrade process at any time.
However, if you hit it at an inopportune moment, your system
may be left in an inconsistent (and possibly unusable) state.
You will now be greeted and reminded of the fact that this is a
potential dangerous procedure and that you should not upgrade the
etc-set.
When you decide to proceed, you will be prompted to enter
your root disk. After you've done this, it will be checked
automatically to make sure that the filesystem is in a sane
state before making any modifications. After this is done,
you will be asked if you want to configure your network.
You are now allowed to edit your fstab. Normally you don't have
to. Note that the upgrade-kit uses it's own copy of the fstab.
Whatever you do here *won't* affect your actual fstab.
After you are satisfied with your fstab, the upgrade-kit will check
all filesystems mentioned in it. When they're ok, they will be
mounted.
You will now be asked if your sets are stored on a normally
mounted filesystem. You should answer 'y' to this question if
you have the sets stored on a filesystem that was present in
the fstab. The actions you should take for the set extraction
are pretty logical (I think).
After you have extracted the sets, the upgrade kit will proceed
with setting the timezone and installing the kernel and bootcode.
This is all exactly the same as described in the installation
section.
Your system has now been upgraded to NetBSD 1.3.
After a new kernel has been copied to your hard disk, your
machine is a complete NetBSD 1.3 system. However, that
doesn't mean that you're finished with the upgrade process.
There are several things that you should do, or might have to
do, to insure that the system works properly.
You will probably want to get the etc distribution,
extract it, and compare its contents with those in your /etc
directory. You will probably want to replace some of your
system configuration files, or incorporate some of the changes
in the new versions into yours.
You will want to delete old binaries that were part
of the version of NetBSD that you upgraded from and have since
been removed from the NetBSD distribution. If upgrading from
a NetBSD version older than 1.0, you might also want to
recompile any locally-built binaries, to take advantage of the
shared libraries. (Note that any new binaries that you build
will be dynamically linked, and therefore take advantage of
the shared libraries, by default. For information on how to
make statically linked binaries, see the cc(1) and ld(1)
manual pages.)
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 1.3:
* Swap configuration
Description:
All swap partitions are now configured by the swapctl(8)
program. The kernel no longer configures a "default" swap
partition. Because of this, all swap partitions (even the old
"default") must be listed in /etc/fstab.
Many users of previous releases relied on the kernel
configuring a "default" swap partition and did not list any
swap space in /etc/fstab at all -- such users will now have no
swap space configured unless they list swap partitions in
/etc/fstab!
Common symptoms of of this problem include machine crashes
during builds, and similar memory intensive activities.
Fix:
The most common position for a swap partition is the `b'
partition of the drive the root file system is on. For
diskless systems, check the new swapctl(8) manual for more
detail on how this is done. Example fstab entries:
/dev/sd0b none swap sw,priority=0
/dev/sd1b none swap sw,priority=5
* NFS daemons and other programs in /sbin moved
Description:
The NFS daemons (nfsd, nfsiod, mountd) have been moved from
the /sbin to the /usr/sbin directory. When new binaries are
loaded over old ones during upgrade, most programs get
overlaid and replaced, but unless these binaries are
explicitly removed they will not disappear. The installation
subsystems on some NetBSD architectures will not properly
remove these binaries.
Due to changes in the NFS subsystem, the old NFS daemon
binaries will not work correctly, and will cause serious
problems. Unfortunately, the default startup script (/etc/rc)
will run the old binaries in /sbin if they are present instead
of the new ones in /usr/sbin.
Some other programs (dumpfs, dumplfs and quotacheck) have also
been moved from /sbin to /usr/sbin, and old versions may be
left behind by accident. They, too, may cause difficulties.
Fix:
Remove the old daemon binaries (/sbin/nfsiod, /sbin/nfsd,
/sbin/mountd, etc.) after your upgrade has finished. You may
wish to do an "ls -lt /sbin | more" to help determine which
binaries were not replaced/removed during your upgrade.
* AMANDA, The Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver,
from http://www.amanda.org
Description:
Due to a change in the output of dump(8) to ensure
consistency in the messages, AMANDA's dump output
parser breaks.
Error messages such as the following may be an
indication that this problem is present:
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
hostname wd0e lev 1 FAILED [no backup size line]
Versions affected:
2.3.0.4, and most likely earlier versions
Workaround/Fix:
One of:
* Apply the patch found at:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/patches/amanda-pre-2.4.patch
* Upgrade to AMANDA 2.4.0 or newer. The side effect of this is
that the network protocol is incompatible with earlier
versions.
Using online NetBSD documentation
----- ------ ------ -------------
Documentation is available if you first install the manual
distribution set. Traditionally, the "man pages" (documentation)
are denoted by 'name(section)'. Some examples of this are
intro(1),
man(1),
apropros(1),
passwd(1), and
passwd(5).
The section numbers group the topics into several categories, but three
are of primary interest: user commands are in section 1, file formats
are in section 5, and administrative information is in section 8.
The 'man' command is used to view the documentation on a topic, and is
started by entering 'man [section] topic'. The brackets [] around the
section should not be entered, but rather indicate that the section is
optional. If you don't ask for a particular section, the topic with the
least-numbered section name will be displayed. For instance, after
logging in, enter
man passwd
to read the documentation for passwd(1). To view the documentation for
passwd(5), enter
man 5 passwd
instead.
If you are unsure of what man page you are looking for, enter
apropos subject-word
where "subject-word" is your topic of interest; a list of possibly
related man pages will be displayed.

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 instructions.
There are various mailing lists set up to deal with comments and
questions about this release. Please send comments to:
netbsd-comments@NetBSD.ORG
To report bugs, use the 'send-pr' command shipped with NetBSD,
and fill in as much information about the problem as you can. Good
bug reports include lots of details. Additionally, bug reports can
be sent by mail to:
netbsd-bugs@NetBSD.ORG
Use of 'send-pr' is encouraged, however, because bugs reported with it
are entered into the NetBSD bugs database, and thus can't slip through
the cracks.
There are also port-specific mailing lists, to discuss aspects of
each port of NetBSD. Use majordomo to find their addresses. If
you're interested in doing a serious amount of work on a specific
port, you probably should contact the "owner" of that port (listed
below).
If you'd like to help with this effort, and have an idea as to how
you could be useful, send mail and/or subscribe to:
netbsd-help@NetBSD.ORG
As a favor, please avoid mailing huge documents or files to these
mailing lists. Instead, put the material you would have sent up
for FTP somewhere, then mail the appropriate list about it, or, if
you'd rather not do that, mail the list saying you'll send the data
to those who want it.

Dedication:
----------
The Release Engineering team would like to dedicate the NetBSD 1.3
release to the memory of the late Koji Imada, who was killed in a
motorcycle accident in August, 1997 at the age of 28. A doctoral
student in Mathematical Science at Nagoya University, he was a user of
NetBSD and a contributor to the project since 1993. Well remembered by
his friends, he was also known as a connoisseur of gins, teas, and the
motorcycles he loved to ride. His death came as a shock, and he will
be greatly missed by all of us. May he rest in peace.
