If you confirm that - you want to install OpenBSD, 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 Atari - 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. To be able to make the - proper selection, you need to know, that OpenBSD assigns a - special meaning to some of the partition letters: - 'a' : root filesystem - 'b' : swap partition - 'c' : whole disk - You should choose a letter in the range 'd'-'p' for your - /usr filesystem. If you are doing a full install this should - be a partition that is at least 45M-50M large. If everything is - ok the install program will then format and mount your /usr.

This fstab will be in /mnt/etc. - - What you do from this point on depends on which media you're - using to install OpenBSD.

If e.g. your GEMDOS - partition is the first partition on sd0 you could - type: - - mkdir /mnt/gemdos - mount_msdos /dev/sd0d /mnt/gemdos - - 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/gemdos - - 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 base20 - - and to extract the games distribution: - - Extract game20 - - If the distribution sets are in different directories, - you will need to cd to each directory in turn, running - "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 base20 - - and to extract the games distribution: - - Extract game20 - - 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 game20.?? - - Once you have extracted all sets and are at the "#" prompt - again, proceed to the section "Configuring Your System," - below. - -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.

You - will need to do only one boot to get things working from - the disk. - -The Install Procedure: - - a) Adjust your console device settings. - The inst{:--:}OSrev.fs kernel will come up with 9600 baud, 7 bits, - even parity and one stop bit. Adjust your terminal to match - these settings. The monitor's baud rate can be changed with - "baud d'9600". - - b) Get inst{:--:}OSrev.fs and boot the kernel. - - From Floppy: (and using the autoboot monitor) - If you have a 1.44 meg SCSI floppy drive, you can put inst{:--:}OSrev.fs - onto a 3.5" floppy disk. Insert the disk into your floppy - drive and use the monitor's boot command to boot the default - image from the floppy. The image booted will ask you for a - kernel to load. Answer - sdXa:/bsd - Replace X with your drive number. For KLONDIKE X would be "2". - - Tape: - You will need to load a copy of inst{:--:}OSrev.fs into RAM. - - load the inst{:--:}OSrev.fs at 0x288000 - - run at 0x3E8820 - The boot program will ask you now for a kernel to load. Answer - rd0a:/bsd - - Serial line: - Provided with the distribution is source for program called - download. (download.c) This program when used as - "download file" will read the contents of the file and - output to standard output a byte sequence used by the pc532 - ROM monitor to download a binary file into RAM. Using this - program on a computer connected to the pc532, one can - load a copy of inst{:--:}OSrev.fs into RAM at 0x288000. The boot - sequence is now the same as with tape. - - c) Choose a disk geometry. For me, the reported geometry left - some sectors "unallocated". That is, the autoconfig message - said the disk had 2428 cylinders, 9 heads, and 93 sectors/track. - This gives a total of 2032236 sectors, but I knew that I had - 2053880 sectors. - - To help in this process, there is a program "factor" that is - on the inst{:--:}OSrev.fs. The usage is "factor number" and it lists - the prime factors of number. - For example, with the 2053880 sector disk I got: - - ---->~/sd1 - - steelhead[3]$ factor 2053880 - 2053880: 2 2 2 5 51347 - - Not many to choose from, so I tried ... - - ---->~/sd1 - steelhead[4]$ factor 2053820 - 2053820: 2 2 5 103 997 - - Now I'd like to get about a meg per track: - steelhead[5]$ echo "2 * 997"|bc - 1994 - - Now I need the number of tracks (or cylinders): - steelhead[5]$ echo "2 * 5 * 103"|bc - 1030 - - So I ended up choosing 1030 cylinders, 1 head, 1994 sectors/track. - I "lost" only 60 sectors, but got a "reasonable geometry". - - d) run "install" -- it will ask you for the disk geometry and other - questions. It will ask you for the geometry and then ask you - how many of those sectors you want to use for OpenBSD. It also - wants to know the size of your boot partition (to be used with - the auto-boot monitor), your root partition, your swap partition, - and then any other partitions you may want. For the "other" - partitions, it will ask for a mount point. The mount point will - be "relative to /" and should not {:-include-:} the leading "/". Also, - IF you do not want the partition to have newfs run on it (that is - it might be the last one and have a copy of inst{:--:}.fs) enter "NO" - to the mount point and it will not run newfs on the partition. - It will enter the partition into the disklabel. - - e) look around, if you want ... and then halt OpenBSD. - - f) reboot the machine. Using the autoboot monitor, all you should have - to do is give the ROM monitor command "boot". The secondary - UFS boot program eventually times out and auto-loads /bsd. - You can get it to do it faster by hitting "return". - If you are NOT using the autoboot monitor, it's time to warm - up your eprom burner :-) - - g) Now it is time to load all the other files of the distribution: - You can do this via -- - - a) a TCP/IP link (slip, ppp or plip) - you have ifconfig, slattach, route, netstat, - hostname and ftp on the mini-root. You can even - use nfs... - Plip is only an option if you have installed a - centronics port in your pc532. - You do have access to vi to edit your network - files. (/etc/resolv.conf, ...) - - b) floppy disk - - c) tape - - d) cdrom (If you have a CD with OpenBSD/532 ...) - - e) Use the ROM compatible "download" program. The program - download is included in the initial installation and - can be used as the receive end of the download by - using it as "download -r file_to_write". If the CRC is - correct, the file is retained. If the CRC is not - correct, the file is deleted. - - f) some other method? (Let me know about it.) - - h) Load the tgz files. Choose a place to put them. I would make - a directory /gz.files and put them there. If you are "short - on space," you might want to load them and extract them one - at a time. A minimum installation is "base" and "etc". It - takes about 32 Megs installed + 15 Megs for the base{:--:}OSrev.tgz. - - i) Extract the tar files in /. For example, if your *.tgz were - in a directory /gz.files, to extract base{:--:}OSrev.tgz you would: - - - cd / - - tar -xpzf /gz.files/base{:--:}OSrev.tgz - - Add v to the flags if you want a verbose extract. - - j) Extract at least "base" and "etc" for a new installation. For - "update" extracts, don't extract "etc" directly unless you - have saved your current /etc tree. For "full" installations, - extract all files. - - k) Edit the information in /etc - - - hosts - host name and address information - - myname - your host name - - mygate - hostname of gateway (assuming you have one) - - resolv.conf - which nameserver to use - - hostname.{sl0,ppp0,plip0} - interface hostname - - netstart - configures the network and says if sendmail should - be started - - ttys - make sure the console entry has the correct speed - - gettytab - I find "ap" instead of "ep" in the default entry - works better for me. - - fstab - make sure it includes all partitions you want mounted - - localtime - this is usually a link into /usr/share/zoneinfo - - Now you can adjust the kernel's default baud rate to match your - monitor's default baud rate. Do the following: - gdb -w /bsd - set scndefaultrate = YOUR_BAUD_RATE - quit - where YOUR_BAUD_RATE is the actual value, 19200, 38400 or - something slower than 9600. - If you set scndefaultrate to something bogus, you'll probably - not be able to reboot... So be careful! - - - l) Reboot the machine and it should come up in multi-user mode *IF* - you got it configured correctly. - - m) Enjoy!
