.Ss2 Bootable installation/upgrade floppies:
p There are three bootable images in the .Nx \*m distribution. One is for a dual-floppy boot and is split into two separate files. The other is a single-file image containing the same install kernel, but intended to be written to a CD, tape, or hard drive. The third image is a .Tn GENERIC kernel intended for production use in unusual cases. This can be useful at some sites when: l -bullet t You want to run diskless but SRM bugs prevent the firmware from netbooting. You can work around this problem by always booting the generic kernel from the floppy. t SRM doesn't recognize your (hard) disk controller but .Nx does. This happens more frequently than you might think. SRM will usually only boot from .Xr ncr 4 or .Xr isp 4 SCSI devices, and on most platforms will not boot from an IDE drive. .Nx will happily operate with almost any SCSI root or an IDE root; the solution here is to netboot a kernel or always boot from floppy. .El .\} . .Ss2 Miniroot file system 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 has the .Sy .gz extension added to their names.) .(tag Pa miniroot.fs This file contains a BSD root file system setup to help you install the rest of .Nx or to upgrade a previous version of .Nx . 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. .\} . There are a collection of arm32 kernels in the "arm32/kernels" subdirectory of the .Nx \*V 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.) .\} .
p The NetBSD/mvme68k install distribution contains files that can be used to install NetBSD onto completely "bare" MVME147 and MVME167 boards. The files in the "mvme68k/installation/*" directories are described below. l -tag -width netbsd-rd.gz t Pa miniroot.gz A gzipped copy of the miniroot filesystem. This image is to be un-gzipped and copied into the swap area of a disk. t Pa netbsd-rd.gz A gzipped copy of the .Em RAMDISK kernel for installing the miniroot filesystem. t Pa stboot A tape boot-block, in the form required to allow 1x7-Bug to boot from tape. This is the first segment of a boot tape. t Pa bootst A copy of the tape boot program, used as the second segment of a boot tape. t Pa sboot A copy of the MVME147 serial boot program. This is necessary if you don't have a tape drive, but you _do_ have another system which can act as a boot and NFS server. This is also useful if you are installing a diskless NetBSD system on an MVME147 board. t Pa netboot A copy of the network boot program. Used in conjunction with sboot on the MVME147 to get your system booted over a network. The MVME167 can boot this file directly using 167Bug's builtin TFTP client. .El
p These files can be used to make a boot tape suitable for installing NetBSD/mvme68k. These files can also be used to configure an NFS server to support installation "over the network". See the section .Sx Getting the NetBSD System onto Useful Media for instructions on either method. .\} . . .Ss2 Binary Distribution Sets The .Nx \*m binary distribution sets contain the binaries which comprise the .Nx \*V release for the \*m. There are eight binary distribution The binary distribution sets can be found in the
a \*m/binary/sets subdirectory of the .Nx \*V distribution tree, and are as follows: l -tag -width mmmmmmmmmmm -compact
p t Sy base The .Nx \*V .No \*m Sy base No binary distribution. You .Em must install this distribution set. It contains the base .Nx utilities that are necessary for the system to run and be minimally functional. It includes shared library support, and excludes everything described below.
p t Sy comp Things needed for compiling programs. This set includes the system include files
q Pa /usr/include and the various system libraries (except the shared libraries, which are included as part of the .Sy 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.
p t Sy etc This distribution set contains the system configuration files that reside in
a /etc and in several other places. This set .Em must be installed if you are installing the system from scratch, but should .Em not be used if you are upgrading. (If you are upgrading, it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and .Em carefully upgrade your configuration files by hand.)
p t Sy games This set includes the games and their manual pages.

p .Nx 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 .Nx . Unfortunately there is no R6.3 Xserver for NetBSD/hp300 yet, so we can only distribute the X clients this time. .\} The sets are: l -tag -width xcontribmmm t Sy xbase The basic files needed for a complete X client environment.

============================ MI DISCUSSION OF BINARY SETS
.
p The \*m binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files named with the extension .Sy .tgz , No e.g.
a base.tgz .
.
.
contrary to most old INSTALL docs, only i386 has Split/ sets
.
.
They are also
available in split form - catted together, the members of a split set
form a gzipped tar file.
.\}
.
.
p 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 .Em 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 c tar xfp command from /. . . . .
p Additional kernels to those included in the distribution sets may be found in the
a atari/binary/kernel subdirectory of the .Nx \*V distribution tree. These kernels are generally named something like
a netbsd.BOOT.gz or some other suitable name. Please note that these kernels are simply gzipped and are not in tar archives.
p There are three atari floppy images to be found in the
a atari/installation/floppies subdirectory of the .Nx \*V distribution. One of them is a bootable TOS kernel floppy and the other two are installation floppies. They are described in more detail below. There are gzipped versions of each available, for easier downloading. (The gzipped versions have the
a .gz extension added to their names.) l -tag -width indent t Em Bootable Kernel floppy This TOS disk contains the loadbsd and chg_pid programs and a kernel. It is setup so that you can insert it int your floppy drive, and start the programs from GEM.
p For the TT030 and Falcon, the (720KB) floppy is named boot.fs and the kernel supplied is 'BOOT'. For the Hades, you need the hades-boot.fs floppy (1.44MB), the kernel is 'HADES'. t Em 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 GEMDOS partitions.
p The floppies meant for 720KB disks are named
a miniroot.fs.1 No and Pa miniroot.fs.2 . There is also an image for an 1.44MB disk:
a miniroot.fs . .El
p There are also TOS utilities in the
a atari/installation/misc subdirectory, which you will need to get NetBSD/Atari 'up-and-running'. l -bullet t The .Dq gzip.ttp program allows you to uncompress .gz images. The usage is "gzip.ttp -d filename.gz". t The .Dq rawwrite.ttp program allows you to create the installation floppy disks from the files in the
a atari/floppies directory. t The "aptck.ttp" program reads the partition tables present on a given disk and tries to interpret then the same way the NetBSD kernel does. If you have a disk on which GEMDOS and .Nx are to co-exist, It is a good idea to run this before you begin the NetBSD/Atari installation just to check that the kernel's view of the partition tables agree with GEMDOS's view. If you have more than 3 partitions defined on a disk you will notice that the NetBSD/\*m partition starts one sector after the GEMDOS partition. This is to allow space for the auxilliary root for the 4th and subsequent partitions. t The "loadbsd.ttp" program loads the NetBSD/\*m kernel from TOS (or MiNT, MultiTOS, etc.). .El .\} . . . .
p The following are included in the
a hp300/installation No directory: . . l -tag -width miniroot/xx t Pa miniroot/ . Bl -tag -width miniroot.fs.gz . It miniroot.fs.gz A copy of the miniroot filesystem. . El t Pa misc/ .

It Pa SYS_UBOOT.gz A gzipped copy of the universal boot block. Supports Network, tape and disk booting. This is useful if you are installing a diskless NetBSD/hp300 system. . It Pa rbootd.tgz Source code for the rbootd program included with NetBSD. It requires that the server has a Berkeley Packet Filter (bpf). You will need to compile this version of rbootd if server system does not have this utility already. . El .El . . The following are included in the
a hp300/binary/kernel No directory: . l -tag -width netbsd.gdb.gzmmmmm t Pa netbsd.gdb.gz A gzipped GENERIC kernel with debugging symbols. t Pa netbsd.gz A gzipped GENERIC kernel. .El . .\} .
p Additional kernels to those included in the distribution sets may be found in the
a mac68k/binary/kernels subdirectory of the .Nx \*V distribution tree. These kernels are generally named something like
a netbsd-GENERIC.gz or some other suitable name. Please note that these kernels are simply gzipped and are not in tar archives.
p The MacOS-based utilities necessary for installing and running .Nx can be found in the
a mac68k/installation/misc subdirectory of the .Nx \*V distribution tree. The important files in this directory are as follows: . . l -tag -width Installer.sea.hqx t Pa Booter.sea.hqx The NetBSD/Mac68k Booter utility. This program is used to boot the .Nx kernel from within MacOS.
.Em 141 K archived t Pa Installer.sea.hqx The NetBSD/Mac68k Installer utility. This program is used to install the distribution sets onto your .Nx partition(s).
.Em 147 K archived t Pa Mkfs.sea.hqx The Mkfs utility. This program is used to format your chosen partitions so that they can be used with NetBSD.
.Em 76 K archived .El
p These files are all binhexed, self-extracting archives. If you need them, the sources for these utilities are in the
a src No subdirectory. . . .\} . .
p The initial installation process on a pc532 without a previous .Nx installation is supported by the following files: l -tag -width floppy-144.fs t Pa floppy-144.fs A file system containing the boot loader and install kernel with a 2MB root. t Pa download.c The source for a program to download
a inst-11.fs into memory via the pc532 .Tn ROM No monitor . .El
p The upgrade process is supported by having a copy of a \*V kernel available. This file is: .(tag Pa kern.tgz Contains a kernel produced from the
a DEFAULT configuration file in
a pc532/conf . .\} . . . (Note The distribution cannot be extracted using the SunOS . Pa tar program so statically-linked SunOS versions of gzip (GNU gzip) and gtar (GNU tar) are provided in . Pa sparc/installation/misc . . Note) .\} .
p There is a collection of Sun3 and Sun3X kernels in the
a sun3/binary/kernels subdirectory of the .Nx \*V distribution. The ones named
a netbsd-ramdisk*.gz contain a root file system image and should only be used for the initial installation. The others are included for convenience. (Most people will want to use
a netbsd-generic.gz or
a netbsd-generic3x.gz as appropriate.) Please note that these kernels are simply gzipped and are not in tar archives. .\}
