-Bootable Kernel floppy:
-
- This TOS disk contains the loadbsd and chg_part programs

- into your floppy drive, and start the programs from GEM.
-
- This floppy is named boot-OSrev.fs
-
-Installation floppy:
-
- This disk contains a BSD root file system setup to help
- you install the rest of OpenBSD. 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 TOS partitions.
-
- This floppy's are named "inst-OSrev.fs.1" and "inst-OSrev.fs.2".

-OpenBSDInstallPrelude
-
-The following is a walk-through of the steps necessary to get OpenBSD
-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 OpenBSD. This can be
- done in a couple ways, both of which currently require
- GEMDOS.
-
- You can insert the GEMDOS kernel floppy and select
- the loadbsd program. It will ask for parameters,
- supply: '-b bsd'. You can, of course, also run it
- from the shell command-line in MiNT:
-
- loadbsd -b a:/bsd
-
- 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 GEMDOS kernel boot floppy from the drive if present and
- insert the BSD install floppy 1. Now type `rd0' to tell the
- kernel to load the install filesystem into RAMdisk. While
- While the kernel is loading, it will show a '.' for each
- track loaded. After loading 80 tracks, it will ask you
- to insert the next floppy. At this time, insert the BSD
- install floppy 2 and hit any key. The kernel continuous
- loading another 40 tracks before it continues to boot.
-
- The system should continue to boot. For now ignore WARNING:
- messages about bad dates in clocks. Eventually you will be
- 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 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. 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 OpenBSD. Follow the appropriate instructions,
- given below.
-
- To install from an GEMDOS partition:
-
- You first need to mount the GEMDOS partition
- using the mount_msdos command. 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. 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 OpenBSD 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 OpenBSD this time with the command:
-
- loadbsd bsd
-
-You need to do your final tweaks 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
-OpenBSD kernel onto the root partition as "/bsd". There is also
-another option to this. As OpenBSD/Atari has to be booted from TOS,
-you could do the following:
- Reserve a small GEMDOS partition of about 4Mb. This is
- enough to put in a few kernels. Put the bsd kernel
- into this partition. Also, edit your /etc/fstab to always
- mount this partition, say as /kernels. Now make a symlink
- from /bsd to /kernels/bsd.
- This scheme is particularly handy when you want to make your
- own kernel. When compilation is finished, you just copy
- your kernel to /kernels/bsd and reboot. It's wise to
- make sure there is _always_ a 'know to work' kernel image
- present.
-
-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.
-
-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 bsd
-
-When it boots off the hard drive, you will have a complete
-OpenBSD system! CONGRATULATIONS! (You really deserve them!!!)

-Note you will be modifying your HD's if you mess something up here you
-could lose everything on all the drives that you mess with. It is
-therefore advised that you:
-
- Write down your current configurations. Do this
- by writing down all partition info (especially their sizes).
-
- Back up the partitions you are keeping.
-
-What you need to do is partition your drives; creating
-space for at least root, swap and /usr partitions and possibly at
-least one more for /local if you have the space.
-
-The partitioning can be done in two ways, the first method heavily
-relies on the AHDI way of partitioning, the second method nearly
-ignores the AHDI partitioning and gives you far more flexibility.
-Currently, the second method can only be achieved from a working
-OpenBSD/atari system. How this should be done is described in
-"upgrading to OpenBSD-labeling".
-
-Using AHDI partitioning:
- The partitioning can be done with the AHDI-disk that is
- provided with your TT or Falcon. Note that the AHDI partitioning
- function erases all partitions on your hard disk even if they are
- not changed!
- I know this is rather stupid, but don't say I didn't warn you.
-
- You will need the 'chg_part' program from the boot disk to
- prepare your hard disk a bit more. This program will change the
- partition-id so OpenBSD knows which partitions it can use. The
- synopsis is:
- chg_part <driveno> <partno> <new_id>
-
- The drive number corresponds with the drive's SCSI-id. The new
- id can be selected from one of the following acronyms:
- NBU - OpenBSD User partition
- NBR - OpenBSD Root partition
- NBS - OpenBSD Swap partition
- Because OpenBSD cannot be bootloaded (yet) and thus must be
- loaded through GEM, it is unwise to use drive 'C'
- (drive 0/partition 1) as a OpenBSD partition. When a partition-id
- is changed, GEMDOS won't be able to recognize your drive, so be
- warned that the drive labels are shifted afterwards. The chg_part
- program still recognizes them, take this into account when
- re-labeling partitions. Also note that the chg_part process is
- reversible. So don't panic if you made a mistake. Just run
- chg_part again with the same drive/partition arguments but
- supplied the original partition id.
-
-Upgrading to OpenBSD-labeling:
- First of all the new disk label functions are fully backwards
- compatible with the current (old) behavior, therefore you don't
- have to rename partition identifiers if you don't want to. The only
- limitation is that you won't be able to write a disklabel to your
- harddisk ("Device not configured.").
-
- If you'd like to have the flexibility of the OpenBSD disk label,
- the procedure is very simple: change the identifier of the AHDI
- partition that contains your OpenBSD root filesystem from NBR to NBD.
- Boot OpenBSD; run `disklabel -e sd?'; disklabel will start vi;
- quit vi without changing anything; now the disklabel should be
- written to the NBD partition. If at this point disklabel tells
- you that one or more of your partitions extend past the end of
- the unit, then you have an old version of disklabel. Get the
-
- If you like, you can now change the NBD partition id to RAW
- (this would for example be necessary if the partition must be
- shared with MiNT), but keep in mind that the partition id must
- be either NBD or RAW, otherwise OpenBSD won't be able to find the
- disklabel. The NBS id (used for a swap partition) is no longer
- needed, you can change it to whatever you like (or leave it as
- is, if that's what you like :-) ). The same is true for the
- NBU id's.
-
- WARNINGS:
- - the NBD partition does not necessarily have to be the
- partition that contains the OpenBSD root filesystem, but
- it *must* be a partition that contains a fast filesystem.
- Do *not* try this with a partition that contains a gemdos,
- minix or ext2 filesystem; if you do, you'll *loose* a
- filesystem.
- - Now that you have a real disklabel, you can modify it in
- (almost) any way you want. However, if you make a mess of
- the disk label, OpenBSD may (or may not) make a mess of
- your disk! No freedom without responsibility.
- OpenBSD will try to warn you for a possibly dangerous
- partition table, but it's up to you to either take that
- warning serious or ignore it (there may be good reasons
- to ignore the warning, if you know what you're doing).
-
- So what do you do if you have a new disk, that will be exclusively
- used by OpenBSD? Very simple: don't let it get `infected' by the
- AHDI `virus'. ,-) Just connect the disk to your TT/Falcon; boot
- OpenBSD; run `disklabel -e'; you'll see only one large partition `d'
- (there won't be any filesystem on it yet); you can create partitions
- in any way you want, as you're no longer limited by an AHDI partition
- table.

-Installation is supported from several media types, including:
- TOS HD partitions
- Tape
-
-No matter what you do, however, you'll need to have three disks handy,
-on which you will put the install and boot floppy images.
-
-All the images are available from the directory "atari/floppies",
-under the root of the OpenBSD tree at your favorite archive site.
-
-If you are using OpenBSD/atari 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.1 of=/dev/rfd0b bs=9b
-
-If you are using TOS to make the floppies, grab the 'rawrite' utility
-from the "OSREV/tools" directory and issue the command:
- rawrite boot-10.fs
-
-This will create the boot-floppy on the floppy in drive a. The floppies
-should be pre-formatted on 720Kb for both the 'dd' and 'rawrite' commands
-to work. Pre-formatting can be best done using the desktop format command.
-Some other utilities seem to be giving problems.
-
-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 GEMDOS partition:
-
- To install OpenBSD from an GEMDOS partition, you need to
- get the OpenBSD distribution sets you wish to install
- on your system on to an GEMDOS 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 OpenBSD from a tape, you need to somehow
- get the OpenBSD 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.

-OpenBSD/pc532 OSREV runs on a PC532 computer. It supports a subset of the
-"standard" hardware to date. This is defined as:
-
- 4 - 32 Megs of memory
- 8 serial lines done by 4 scn2681 chips
- the NCR DP8490 SCSI chip (scsi only)
- Most SCSI disks work (fixed and floppy)
- A few SCSI tapes work
- Some SCSI CD-ROM drives work
- The Matthias Pfaller Parallel Port.
-
-OpenBSD/pc532 currently expects the ROM monitor to be the "autoboot
-monitor" of Oct/Nov 1991. It includes support to set up auto booting
-of OpenBSD, including a secondary boot program that the autoboot monitor
-will load that in turn loads the OpenBSD kernel from a OpenBSD file system.
-
-Most of the pc532 specific development of OpenBSD/pc532 was done on a
-machine with 8-Megs of memory. It should run with 4-Megs of memory
-although it may be slower.

-(IF you already have OpenBSD/pc532 installed and you only want to update
-your system, see the next section.)
-
-To install OpenBSD/pc532, there are several things you need to know.
-First, OpenBSD "autoconfigs" the scsi devices. inst{:--:}OSrev.fs has only
-support for disks configured into the kernel. Starting the search at
-SCSI address 0, lun 0 and increasing, the first disk found will be sd0
-regardless of the address, the second will be sd1. KLONDIKE for example
-has the following devices installed:
-
- sd0 -> ID 0 LUN 0: Quantum LP52S hard disk drive
- sd1 -> ID 1 LUN 0: Micropolis 4110 hard disk drive
- sd2 -> ID 2 LUN 0: Teac FC-1, 3.5" floppy disk drive
- sd3 -> ID 2 LUN 1: Teac FC-1, 5.25" floppy disk drive
- cd0 -> ID 3 LUN 0: Toshiba XM-4101TA CD-ROM drive
- st0 -> ID 4 LUN 0: Tandberg TDC3600 QIC tape drive
-
-Only sd0-sd3 are supported by the inst{:--:}OSrev.fs kernel.
-
-Next you need to know what the install script wants to do. This install
-is script on the ram disk root that can do most of the work of configuring
-your disk.
-
- a) The script assumes your are using the first n sectors of your
- disk, where you can specify n. It will allow you to create
- up to 5 file system partitions, one swap partition and one
- boot partition.
-
- b) You should know how many total sectors are on your disk. The
- configure will report a head, track, and cylinder count, but
- I have found that on my disks, it reports something that makes
- a smaller disk than I really had.
-
- c) It is possible to have the install script make a partition
- over your save area AND not make a new file system, thus
- preserving what is there. Then, later you can make a new
- file system after you no longer need the stuff there. 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! And help fix bugs and improve OpenBSD/pc532!

-The upgrade to OpenBSD OSREV is a binary upgrade; it would be prohibitive
-to make users upgrade by compiling and installing the OSREV sources, and
-it would be very difficult to even compile a set of instructions that
-allowed them to do so.
-
-To do the upgrade, you must have at least base{:--:}OSrev.tgz on disk and
-a copy of the proper bsd.default. It will require quite a bit
-of disk space to do the upgrade.
-
-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
-OpenBSD partition or on another operating system's partition, before
-beginning the upgrade process.
-
-To upgrade your system, follow the following instructions:
-
- Make sure your are root. Just in case the new binaries don't
- run with the old kernel, make copies of several key binaries
- from /bin, /sbin and /usr/bin in some directory. (Things like
- sh, cp, ls, rm, tar, halt, and others.)
-
- Extract the tgz files. For example, to extract base{:--:}OSrev.tgz:
-
- cd /
- tar -xpzf /gz.files/base{:--:}OSrev.tgz
-
- Extract all the tgz files you want. You should carefully
- work at upgrading /etc. There may be changes to file formats
- depending on what version of OpenBSD/pc532 you are running.
-
- BE CAREFUL IF YOU ARE NOT RUNNING WITH SECURITY. The
- OSREV distribution does contain support for password encryption.
- It would be reasonable to save a copy of master.passwd and
- remove all passwords until after you upgrade.
-
- Place bsd.default in / as the file bsd.
-
- Reboot. (Remember, detbsd.default is a 9600 console line
- kernel. Read the last part of the new installation part of
- these notes to find out how to change your default speed.)
-
- After reboot, you should make sure you check your new file systems.
