INSTALLATION NOTES for NetBSD/amiga 1.0



Be sure to read _ALL_ of this document before you try to install
NetBSD/amiga.



What is NetBSD?
---- -- ------

NetBSD is a Berkeley Networking Release 2 (Net/2) and 4.4BSD-Lite
-derived system.  It is a fully functional UN*X-like system which runs
on several architectures and is being ported to more.  NetBSD, as the
name implies, is a creation of the members of the network community
and without the net it's likely that this release wouldn't have come
about.

NetBSD 1.0 is a milestone release.  The hardest part of the 4.4BSD-Lite
integration, the kernel, has been completed and has been running in
"production use" for quite some time.  Also, NetBSD 1.0 is the first
true multi-architecture release of NetBSD.  At the time of NetBSD 0.9,
the i386 port was considered 'production quality' and the hp300 port was
barely working.  The NetBSD 1.0 source supports nine architectures, and
complete binary releases for most of them will be made available.

NetBSD 1.0 supports many new and improved features, the most important
relating to file systems.  New and improved versions of both the
Berkeley Fast File System and the free implementation of the NFS
protocol were provided, as part of the 4.4-Lite release.  The new
versions include such improvements as support for 64-bit file sizes,
for local files, and "lease" support for NFS, to improve performance.
In addition to the file system improvements, many other parts of the
system have been improved considerably.  For instance, the virtual
memory code has substantially improved performance, and many of the
kernel's interfaces have been cleaned up.

Many new user programs have been added in NetBSD 1.0, as well,
bringing it closer to our goal of supplying a complete UN*X-like
environment.  Additionally, support for shared libraries has been
added, for most architectures, allowing a significant savings in both
RAM consumption and disk space.

This is the first public release of NetBSD for the Amiga line of
computers.



The Future of NetBSD:
--- ------ -- ------

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 or nearly-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.  This includes integrating the remainder of
the 4.4BSD-Lite tape, as quickly as we can ensure that everything works
properly.

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 1.0 Release Contents:
------ --- ------- --------

The NetBSD 1.0 release is organized in the following way:

.../NetBSD-1.0/
        BUGS            Known bugs list (incomplete
                    and out of date).

        CHANGES            Changes since NetBSD's last

                    distribution's contents.

        TODO            NetBSD's todo list (incomplete
                    and out of date).

        patches/        Post-release source code
                    patches.

        source/            Source distribution sets; see
                    below.

In addition to the files and directories listed above, there is one
directory per architecture, for each of the architectures that NetBSD
1.0 has a binary distribution for.  There are also
'README.export-control' files sprinkled liberally throughout the
distribution tree, which point out that there are some portions of the
distribution (e.g. those containing crypt(3)) that should not be
exported from the United States, and that if you do export them, it's
your fault, not ours.

The source distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the
"source" subdirectory of the distribution tree.  They contain the
complete sources to the system, excluding those portions which should
not be exported from the U.S.  (Those are contained in each
architecture's "security" binary distribution set.)  The source
distribution sets are as follows:

    gsrc10    This set contains the "gnu" sources, including
        the source for the compiler, assembler, groff,
        and the other GNU utilities in the binary distribution
        sets.
        [ 7.7M gzipped, 32.0M uncompressed ]

    ksrc10    This set contains the sources to the NetBSD 1.0
        kernel, config(8), config.new(8) and dbsym(8).
        [ 4.5M gzipped, 20.8M uncompressed ]

    ssrc10    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.
        [ 2.3M gzipped, 8.5M uncompressed ]

    src10    This set contains all of the NetBSD 1.0 sources which
        are not mentioned above.
        [ 7.1M gzipped, 33.4M uncompressed ]

It is worth noting that unless all of the source distribution sets
are installed, you can't rebuild and install the system from scratch,
straight out of the box.  However, all that is required to rebuild the
system in that case is a trivial modification to one Makefile.

The source distribution sets are distributed as groups of files named
"set_name.xx" where "set_name" is the distribution set name, and "xx"
is the sequence number of the file, starting with "aa" for the first
file in the distribution set, then "ab" for the next, and so on.  All
of these files except the last one of each set should be exactly
240,640 bytes long.  (The last file is just long enough to contain the
remainder of the data for that distribution set.)

Catted together, the files belonging to a source distribution set
comprise a gzipped tar file.  If you want to look at list of the files
contained in the set, you could use the command:

    cat set_name.?? | gunzip | tar tvf -

or to actually extract the files contained in the set:

    cat set_name.?? | gunzip | tar xfp -

In each of the source distribution set directories, there is a file
named "CKSUMS" which contains the checksums of the files in that
directory, as generated by the cksum(1) command.  You can use cksum to
check the integrity of the archives, if you suspect that one of the
files is corrupt and have access to a cksum binary.

The amiga-specific portion of the NetBSD 1.0 release is found in the
"amiga" subdirectory of the distribution.  That subdirectory is layed
out as follows:

.../NetBSD-1.0/amiga/
            binary/        amiga binary distribution sets;
                    see below.

            floppies/    amiga boot and installation
                    floppies; see below.

            security/    amiga security distribution;
                    see below;

            utils/        Miscellaneous amiga
                    installation utilities; see
                    installation section, below.

There are two amiga floppy images to be found in the "amiga/floppy"
subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.0 distribution.  One of them is a
bootable AmigaDOS kernel floppy and one is an installation floppy.
They are described in more detail below.  There are gzipped versions
of each available, for easier downloading.  (The gzipped version
have the ".gz" extension added to their names.)

Bootable Kernel floppy:

    This AmigaDOS disk contains the loadbsd boot program and
    the GENERIC kernel.  It is setup so that you can insert it
    int your floppy drive, reboot the system and boot netbsd.

    This floppy is named boot-10.fs

Installation floppy:

    This disk contains a BSD root file system setup to help
    you install the rest 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 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 floppy is named "inst-10.fs".

The NetBSD/amiga binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
comprise the NetBSD 1.0 release for the amiga.  There are seven binary
distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set.  The binary
distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the "amiga/binary"
subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.0 distribution tree, and are as follows:

    base10    The NetBSD/amiga 1.0 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.
        [ 7M gzipped, 19M uncompressed ]

    comp10    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.
        [ 4M gzipped, 12M uncompressed ]

    etc10    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.)
        [ 50K gzipped, 280K uncompressed ]

    games10    This set includes the games and their manual pages.
        [ 1M gzipped, 3M uncompressed ]

    man10    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.
        [ 730K gzipped, 3M uncompressed ]

    misc10    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.
        [ 2M gzipped, 6M uncompressed ]

    text10    This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
        including groff, all related programs, and their
        manual pages.
        [ 784K gzipped, 3M uncompressed ]

The amiga security distribution set is named "secr10" and can be found
in the "amiga/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.0 distribution
tree.  It contains crypt.c (the source file for the DES encryption
algorithm) and the binaries which depend on it.  It can only be found
on those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that
can legally obtain it.  (Remember, because of United States law, this
distribution set may not be exported to locations outside of the
United States and Canada.)  [ 119K gzipped, 300K uncompressed ]

The amiga binary distribution sets are distributed in the same form as
the source distribution sets; catted together, the members of a set
form a gzipped tar file.  Each amiga binary distribution set also has
its own "CKSUMS" file, 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 xvfp"
from /.  Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those
programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced.  If you
follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, this will be
taken care of for you.



NetBSD System Requirements and Supported Devices:
------ ------ ------------ --- --------- -------

NetBSD/amiga 1.0 runs on any amiga that has a 68020 or better CPU
with some form of FPU and MMU.  The minimal configuration requires
4M of RAM and about 65M 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 (/)    15M    15M    10M    10M
    user (/usr)    65M    100M    45M     80M
    swap        ----- 2M for every M ram -----
    local (/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).

Supported devices include:
    A4000/A1200 IDE controller.
    SCSI host adapters:
        33c93 based boards: A2091, A3000 and GVP series II.
        53c80 based boards: 12 Gauge, IVS and Wordsync.
        53c710 based boards: A4091, Magnum, Warp Engine and Zeus.
    Video controllers:
        ECS, AGA and A2024 built in on various amigas.
        Retina Z2 and Retina Z3.
    Ethernet controllers:
        A2065 Ethernet
        Hydra Ethernet
    Tape drives:
        Most SCSI tape drives, including
            Archive Viper, Cipher SCSI-2 ST150.
    CD-ROM drives:
        Most SCSI CD-ROM drives
    Amiga floppy drives.
    Amiga parallel port.
    Amiga serial port.
    Amiga mouse.

If its not on this list, there is no support for it in this release.



Getting the NetBSD System on to Useful Media:
------- --- ------ ------ -- -- ------ -----

Installation is supported from several media types, including:
    AmigaDOS HD partitions
    Tape
    NFS partitions
    FTP

No matter what you do, however, you'll need to have one disk handy,
on which you will put the install floppy image.

All the images are available from the directory "amiga/floppies",
under the root of the NetBSD tree at your favorite archive site.

If you are using NetBSD/amiga to make the floppies, you should use
the command dd(1) to write the raw floppy images (.fs files) to
the disk. To write onto fd0 use:

    dd if=inst-10.fs of=/dev/rfd0a bs=11b

If you are using AmigaDOS to make the floppies, you should
use the rawwrite utility, provided in the directory
"amiga/utilities" in the distribution.  To write the image to
the floppy in df0 use (from cli):

    rawwrite 0 inst-10.fs

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 filesets you wish to install on
    your system on to the appropriate kind of tape,
    in tar format.

    If you're making the tape on a UN*X system, the easiest
    way to do so is:

        tar cvf <tape_device> <files>

    where "<tape_device>" is the name of the 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.nnn" files
    which you want to be placed on the tape.

    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.



Preparing your System for NetBSD Installation:
--------- ---- ------ --- ------ ------------

You will need an AmigaDOS hard drive prep tool to prepare you 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.

    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 /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.

        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 filesystem' 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.

        Mask and maxtransfer are not used with NetBSD.

        Until you compile your own kernel your swap partition
        must exist on the drive that also holds your root
        partition.


    Once this is done NetBSD/amiga will be able to recognize your
    disks and which partitions it should use.



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.

    First you need to get yourself into NetBSD.  This can be
    done in a couple ways, both of which currently require
    AmigaDOS.

    You can insert the AmigaDOS kernel boot floppy and reboot
    or if you have downloaded a kernel to an AmigaDOS partition
    along with loadbsd you can run it from the CLI like so:

        loadbsd -b netbsd

    You should see the screen clear and some information about
    your system as the kernel configures the hardware.  Then
    you will be prompted for a root device.  At this time remove
    the AmigaDOS kernel boot floppy from the drive if present and
    insert the BSD install floppy.  Now type `fd0' to boot off of
    your floppy drive 0.

    The system should continue to boot.  For now ignore WARNING:
    messages about bad dates in clocks and swap space and about
    a missing /etc/spwd.db (it didn't fit, *shrug*).  Eventually
    you will be asked to enter the pathname of the shell, just
    hit return.  After a short while you should see a welcome
    message and a prompt, asking if you wish to proceed with the
    installation.

    If you wish to proceed, enter "y" and then return.

    If you have configured your hard drive[s] correctly it
    should find the drive and partition that you selected to
    use as your root.

    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.

    If you are sure you want to proceed, enter "yes" at the
    prompt.

    The install program will now make the root filesystem you
    specified.  There should be only one error in this section
    of the installation.  It will look like so:

        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.

    Next the install program will ask you which drive and
    partition you wish to use as /usr.  First it will list the
    available drives.  Choose one.  Next it will give you a
    list of the partitions on that disk along with their sizes,
    types, etc..  Choose the letter that corresponds to the
    partition you wish to use for /usr.  If you are doing a
    full install this should be at the very least 45M-50M large.
    If everything is ok the install program will then format
    and mount your /usr.  If not then it will ask again for a
    drive and partition.

    When this completes your root partition will be mounted on
    /mnt and your /usr partition on /mnt/usr.  An fstab will
    have been created and initialized to correctly mount these
    two file systems.  This fstab will be in /mnt/etc.

    What you do from this point on depends on which media you're
    using to install NetBSD.  Follow the appropriate instructions,
    given below.

    To install from an AmigaDOS partition:

        You first need to mount the AmigaDOS partition
        using the mount_ados command.  If e.g. your AmigaDOS
        partition is the first partition on sd0 you could
        type:

            mkdir /mnt/ados
            mount_ados /dev/sd0d /mnt/ados

        You can use `disklabel sd0' to find out what types
        of partitions are on the disk `sd0'.

        Next goto the directory in which you stored the
        distribution sets.  If e.g. you stored them in the
        root directory of the partition:

            cd /mnt/ados

        When there, run "Set_tmp_dir" and choose the default
        temporary directory, by hitting return at the
        prompt.

        Run the "Extract" command, giving it as its sole
        argument the name of the distribution set you wish
        to extract.  For example, to extract the base
        distribution, use the command:

            Extract base10

        and to extract the games distribution:

            Extract game10

        If the distribution sets are in different directories,
        you will need to cd to each directory in turn, runing
        "Set_tmp_dir" and the appropriate "Extract" command(s).

        Continue this process until you've finished installing
        all of the sets which you desire to have on your
        hard disk.  Once you have extracted all sets and
        are at the "#" prompt again, proceed to the section
        "Configuring Your System," below.

    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, use the command "Set_tmp_dir" and enter
        your choice.  The default is /mnt/usr/distrib.

        After you have picked a temporary directory,
        you should issue the load command:

            Load_tape

        Next, you will be told to insert the media into
        the appropriate drive, and hit return.  Continue
        to follow instructions until you are returned to
        the "#" prompt.

        Go to the directory which contains the first
        distribution set you wish to install.  This is
        either the directory you specified above, or possibly
        a subdirectory of that directory.

        When there, run "Set_tmp_dir" again, and choose
        the default temporary directory, by hitting
        return at the prompt.

        Run the "Extract" command, giving it as its sole
        argument the name of the distribution set you
        wish to extract.  For example, to extract the base
        distribution, use the command:

            Extract base10

        and to extract the games distribution:

            Extract game10

        After the extraction is complete, go to the location
        of the next set you want to extract, "Set_tmp_dir"
        again, and once again issue the appropriate
        extract command.  Continue this process until
        you've finished installing all of the sets which you
        desire to have on your hard disk.

        After each set is finished, if you know that you
        are running low on space you can remove the
        distribution files for that set by saying:

            rm set_name.??

        For example, if you wish to remove the distribution
        files for the game09 set, after the "Extract game09"
        command has completed, issue the command:

            rm game10.??

        Once you have extracted all sets and are at the "#" prompt
        again, proceed to the section "Configuring Your System,"
        below.

    To install via FTP or NFS:

        First, use Set_tmp_dir to pick a temporary directory
        for the installation files.  /mnt/usr/distrib is
        suggested.

        Configure the appropriate ethernet interface i.e. le0
        if you have a 2065 or ed0 if you have a AMIGNET from
        Hydra Systems.

            ifconfig <ifname> <ipaddr> [netmask <netmask>]

        where <ifname> is the interface name (e.g. ed0, etc.),
        and <ipaddr> is the numeric IP address of the interface.
        If the interface has a special netmask, supply
        the word "netmask" and that netmask at the end of the
        command line.  For instance, without a special netmask:

            ifconfig ed0 129.133.10.10

        or with a special netmask

            ifconfig ed0 128.32.240.167 netmask 0xffffff00

        If the NFS server or FTP server is not on a directly-
        connected network, you should set up a route to it
        with the command:

            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 temporary directory with the command:

            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, "cd"ing to the appropriate directories
        and running "Set_tmp_dir" and "Extract" as appropriate.

        If you are retrieving the distribution sets using ftp,
        cd into the temp 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 to transfer
        all files.

        Once you have all of the files for the distribution sets
        you wish to install, you can proceed using the instructions
        above as if you had installed the files from a tape.


Configuring Your System:
----------- ---- ------

Once you have finished extracting all of the distribution sets that
you want on your hard drive and are back at the "#" prompt,
you are ready to configure your system.

The configuration utility expects that you have installed the base
system.  If you have not, you will not be able to run it successfully
(nor will you have a functional system regardless of configuration).

To configure the newly installed operating system, run the
command "Configure".

Configure will ask for the machine's hostname, domain name, and other
network configuration information.

Once you have supplied `Configure' all that it requests, your machine
will be configured well enough that when you reboot it it will
almost be a completely functional NetBSD system.  Note you should
ignore the errors from `chown' they will be corrected shortly.

Once you are done with `Configure', 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

You need to do your final tweeks now.  First mount your file systems
like so:

    mount -av

Next you need to re-make your devices to get the ownership correct:

    cd /dev
    MAKEDEV all

Your system is now complete but not completely configured; you
should adjust the /etc/sendmail.cf file as necessary to suit your
site and/or disable sendmail and other network related programs.
These things can be found in /etc/netstart.  Use vi, 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.

As mentioned at the end of the `Configure' run, you should copy the
NetBSD kernel onto the root partition as "/netbsd".

To get the proper timezone settings, link /etc/localtime to the
appropriate file in /usr/share/zoneinfo. The link provided is to
/usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific.

If you do not have a special graphics card like the Retina, you
should edit the /etc/ttys file to turn off getty on the Retina
console. Do this by editing the entry for /dev/ttye1, changing
the "on" to "off".

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:
--------- - ---------- --------- ------ ------

There is no previous release of NetBSD/amiga to upgrade.



Administrivia:
-------------

Registration?  What's that?

If you've got something to say, do so!  We'd like your input.
There are various mailing lists available via the mailing list
server at <[e-mail]>.  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:

    [e-mail]

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:

    [e-mail]

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:

    [e-mail]

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.
