+The sun3-specific portion of the NetBSD 1.1 release is found in the
+"sun3" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid
+out as follows:
+
+.../NetBSD-1.1/sun3/
+ INSTALL.txt Installation notes; this file.
+
+ install/ Boot programs, a GENERIC kernel,
+ a stand-alone RAMDISK kernel,
+ and a miniroot filesystem image.
+ see below.
+
+ binary/ sun3 binary distribution sets;
+ see below.
+
+ security/ sun3 security distribution;
+ see below.
+
+The NetBSD/sun3 "install" distribution contains files that can be
+used to install NetBSD onto a completely "bare" sun3. The files
+in the `.../install' directory are described below:
+
+ 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.
+
+ netbsd-rd.gz A gzipped copy of the "RAMDISK kernel"
+ for installing the miniroot filesystem.
+
+ netbsd-gen.gz A gzipped GENERIC kernel (for upgrade)
+
+ netboot A copy of the network boot program.
+ This is useful if you are installing
+ a diskless NetBSD/sun3 system.
+
+ tapeboot A copy of the tape boot program, used
+ as the first segment of a boot tape.
+
+These files can be used to make a boot tape suitable for installing
+NetBSD/sun3. These files can also be used to configure an NFS server
+to support installation "over the network". See the section "Getting
+the NetBSD System onto Useful Media" for instructions on either method.
+
+The NetBSD/sun3 binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
+comprise the NetBSD 1.1 release for the sun3. There are seven binary
+distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary
+distribution sets can be found in the "sun3/binary" subdirectory of
+the NetBSD 1.1 distribution tree, and are as follows:
+
+ base11 The NetBSD/sun3 1.1 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.
+ [ 7.2M gzipped, 19M uncompressed ]
+
+ comp11 The NetBSD/sun3 Compiler tools. All of the tools
+ relating to C and C++. 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.
+ [ 4.6M gzipped, 14.7M uncompressed ]
+
+ etc11 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.)
+ [ 64K gzipped, 348K uncompressed ]
+
+ games11 This set includes the games and their manual pages.
+ [ 2.8M gzipped, 6.8M uncompressed ]
+
+ man11 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.
+ [ 850K gzipped, 3.3M uncompressed ]
+
+ misc11 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.
+ [ 1.8M gzipped, 6.5M uncompressed ]
+
+ text11 This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
+ including groff, all related programs, and their
+ manual pages.
+ [ 770K gzipped, 2.8M uncompressed ]
+
+The sun3 security distribution set is named "secr11" and can be found
+in the "sun3/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.1 distribution
+tree. It contains executables which are built in the "src/domestic" portion
+if the NetBSD source tree. 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.)
+[ 128K gzipped, 275K uncompressed ]
+
+The sun3 binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files.
+Each sun3 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/sun3 1.1 runs on most Sun3 machines, including:
+ 3/50, 3/60, 3/110
+ 3/75, 3/150, 3/160
+ 3/260, 3/280
+
+NetBSD/sun3 1.1 does not run on the Sun3/80 (sun3x class)
+because the sun3x MMU and other devices are very different.
+
+The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and ~80MB of disk space.
+To install the entire system requires much more disk space (approx.
+100MB additional space is necessary for full sources). To run X
+or compile the system, more RAM is recommended. Good performance
+requires 8MB of RAM, or 16 MB when running the X Window System.
+
+The following Sun3 hardware is supported:
+
+ Serial ports (RS232):
+ built-in ttya, ttyb
+
+ Video adapters:
+ bwtwo, cgtwo, cgfour
+
+ Network interfaces:
+ On-board Lance Ethernet (le)
+ On-board or VME Intel Ethernet (ie)
+
+ SCSI: (Most SCSI disks, tapes, CD-ROMs, etc.)
+ On-board "si" (SCSI-3) [Note 1]
+ VME "si" (SCSI-3) board [Note 1]
+
+ SMD Disks: (the big, heavy ones 8^)
+ Xylogics 450/451 [Note 2]
+ Xylogics 753/7053 [Note 2]
+
+ Input devices:
+ Sun keyboard and mouse
+
+ Miscellaneous:
+ Battery-backed real-time clock.
+
+Note 1:
+ The "si" driver now supports DMA and disconnect/reselect
+ but due to the imaturity of the DMA code, those features
+ are disabled by default. To enable DMA (and get faster
+ SCSI performance) patch the variable si_options in the
+ file /usr/src/sys/arch/sun3/dev/ncr_si.c as indicated.
+
+Note 2:
+ SMD disk support is almost ready, but could not be tested
+ in time for this release. Drivers are provided for the
+ Xylogics 450/451 and Xylogics 753/7053 VME boards only as
+ source code. They compile but have never touched a disk.
+
+If it's not on this list, there is no support for it in this release.

+
+Installing NetBSD is a relatively complex process, but if you have
+this document in hand it should not be too difficult.
+
+There are several ways to install NetBSD onto your disk. If your
+machine has a tape drive the easiest way is "Installing from tape"
+(details below). If your machine is on a network with a suitable
+NFS server, then "Installing from NFS" is the next best method.
+Otherwise, if you have another Sun machine running SunOS you can
+initialize the disk on that machine and then move the disk.
+(Installing from SunOS is not recommended.)
+
+
+* Installing from tape:
+
+Create the NetBSD/sun3 1.1 boot tape as described in the section
+entitled "Preparing a boot tape" and boot the tape. At the PROM
+monitor prompt, use one of the commands:
+ >b st()
+ >b st(0,8,0)
+The first example will use the tape on SCSI target 4, where the
+second will use SCSI target 5. The '>' is the monitor prompt.
+
+After the tape loads, you should see many lines of configuration
+messages, and then the following "welcome" screen:
+
+ Welcome to the NetBSD/sun3 RAMDISK root!
+
+This environment is designed to do only three things:
+1: Partititon your disk (use the command: edlabel /dev/rsd0c)
+2: Copy a miniroot image into the swap partition (/dev/rsd0b)
+3: Reboot (using the swap partition, i.e. /dev/sd?b).
+
+Copying the miniroot can be done several ways, allowing
+the source of the miniroot image to be on any of these:
+ boot tape, NFS server, TFTP server, rsh server
+
+The easiest is loading from tape, which is done as follows:
+ mt -f /dev/nrst0 rewind
+ mt -f /dev/nrst0 fsf 2
+ dd bs=32k if=/dev/nrst0 of=/dev/rsd0b
+(For help with other methods, please see the install notes.)
+
+To reboot using the swap partition, first use "halt",
+then at the PROM monitor prompt use a command like:
+ b sd(,,1) -s
+
+To view this message again, type: cat /.welcome
+
+[ End of "welcome" screen. ]
+
+Copy the miniroot as described in the welcome message, and
+reboot from that just installed miniroot. See the section
+entitled "Booting the miniroot" for details.
+
+
+* Installing from NFS:
+
+Before you can install from NFS, you must have already configured
+your NFS server to support your machine as a diskless client.
+Instructions for configuring the server are found in the section
+entitled "Getting the NetBSD System onto Useful Media" above.
+
+First, at the Sun PROM monitor prompt, enter a boot command
+using the network interface as the boot device. On desktop
+machines this is "le", and "ie" on the others. Examples:
+
+ >b le() -s
+ >b ie() -s
+
+After the boot program loads the RAMDISK kernel, you should
+see the welcome screen as shown in the "tape boot" section
+above. You must configure the network interface before you
+can use any network resources. For example the command:
+
+ ssh> ifconfig le0 inet 192.233.20.198 up
+
+will bring up the network interface with that address. The next
+step is to copy the miniroot from your server. This can be done
+using either NFS or remote shell. (In the examples that follow,
+the server has IP address 192.233.20.195)
+
+To load the miniroot from an NFS file:
+
+ ssh> mount -r 192.233.20.195:/server/path /mnt
+ ssh> dd if=/mnt/miniroot of=/dev/rsd0b bs=8k
+
+To load the miniroot using rsh to the server:
+
+ ssh> run -b dd if=/dev/pipe of=/dev/rsd0b bs=8k
+ ssh> run -o /dev/pipe rsh 192.233.20.195 zcat miniroot.gz
+
+Note that "ssh" does not use "sh" syntax. It is a very small
+shell designed for the ramdisk kernel. The first command of the
+above pair runs a "dd" in the background reading /dev/pipe. The
+second of the pair runs an "rsh" command with its standard output
+redirected to /dev/pipe. In ssh, the "help" command will show you
+a list of commands and options (there are only a few).
+
+
+* Booting the miniroot:
+
+If the miniroot was installed on partition 'b' of the disk with
+SCSI target ID=0 then the PROM boot command would be:
+ >b sd(0,0,1) -s
+With SCSI target ID=2, the the PROM is:
+ >b sd(0,10,1) -s
+
+The numbers in parentheses above are:
+ controller (usually zero)
+ unit number (SCSI ID * 8, in hexadecimal)
+ partition number
+
+Miniroot install program:
+------------------------
+
+The miniroot's install program is very simple to use. It will guide
+you through the entire process, and is well automated. Additional
+improvements are planned for future releases.
+
+The miniroot's install program will:
+
+ * Allow you to place disklabels on additional disks.
+ The disk we are installing on should already have
+ been partitioned using the RAMDISK kernel.
+
+ Note that partition sizes and offsets are expressed
+ in sectors. When you fill out the disklabel, you will
+ need to specify partition types and filesystem parameters.
+ If you're unsure what the these values should be, use the
+ following:
+
+ fstype: 4.2BSD
+ fsize: 1024
+ bsize: 4096
+ cpg: 16
+
+ If the partition will be a swap partition, use the following:
+
+ fstype: swap
+ fsize: 0 (or blank)
+ bsize: 0 (or blank)
+ cpg: 0 (or blank)
+
+ The number of partitions is fixed at 8 (by the Sun PROM).
+
+ * Create filesystems on target partitions.
+
+ * Allow you to set up your system's network configuration.
+ Remember to specify host names without the domain name
+ appended to the end. For example use `foo' instead of
+ `foo.bar.org'. If, during the process of configuring
+ the network interfaces, you make a mistake, you will
+ be able to re-configure that interface by simply selecting
+ it for configuration again.
+
+ * Mount target filesystems. You will be given the opportunity
+ to manually edit the resulting /etc/fstab.
+
+ * Extract binary sets from the media of your choice.
+
+ * Copy configuration information gathered during the
+ installation process to your root filesystem.
+
+ * Make device nodes in your root filesystem.
+
+ * Copy a new kernel onto your root partition.
+
+ * Install a new boot block.
+
+ * Check your filesystems for integrity.
+
+First-time installation on a system through a method other than the
+installation program is possible, but strongly discouraged.

+
+Sun3 machines usually need little or no preparation before installing
+NetBSD, other than the usual, well advised precaution of BACKING UP
+ALL DATA on any attached storage devices.
+
+You will need to know the SCSI target ID of the drive on which you
+will install NetBSD. Note that SunOS/sun3 uses confusing names for
+the SCSI devcies: target 1 is sd2, target 2 is sd4, etc.
+
+It might be a good time to run the diagnostics on your Sun3. First,
+attach a terminal to the "ttya" serial port, then set the "Diag/Norm"
+switch to the Diagnostic position, and power-on the machine. The
+Diag. switch setting forces console interaction to occur on ttya.
+
+The console location (ttya, ttyb, or keyboard/display) is controlled
+by address 0x1F in the EEPROM, which you can examine and change in
+the PROM monitor by entering "q1f" followed by a numeric value (or
+just a '.' if you don't want to change it). Console values are:
+ 00: default graphics display
+ 10: tty a (9600-N-8-1)
+ 11: tty b (1200-N-8-1)
+ 20: Color option board on P4
+
+NetBSD will use the EEPROM setting to determine which device to
+use as the console, so you should make sure it is correct.

+
+There is no automated upgrade program in this release.
+(This is the first official release for the Sun3 anyway.)
+However, it is possible to upgrade your system manually.
+
+Manual upgrade procedure:
+
+ * Place _at least_ the `base' binary set in a filesystem
+ accessible to the target machine. A local filesystem
+ is preferred, since there may be incompatibilities
+ between the NetBSD 1.1 kernel and older route(8)
+ binaries.
+
+ * Back up your pre-existing kernel and copy the 1.1
+ kernel into your root partition.
+
+ * Reboot with the 1.1 kernel into single-user mode.
+
+ * Check all filesystems:
+
+ /sbin/fsck -p
+
+ * Mount all local filesystems:
+
+ /sbin/mount -a -t nonfs
+
+ * If you keep /usr or /usr/share on an NFS server, you
+ will want to mount those filesystems as well. To do
+ this, you will need to enable the network:
+
+ sh /etc/netstart
+
+ NOTE: the route(8) commands may fail due to potential
+ incompatibilities between route(8) and the NetBSD 1.1
+ kernel. Once you have enabled the network, mount the
+ NFS filesystems. If you use amd(8), you may or may not
+ have to mount these filesystems manually. Your mileage
+ may vary.
+
+ * Make sure you are in the root filesystem and extract
+ the `base' binary set:
+
+ cd /
+ tar --unlink -zxvpf /path/to/base11.tar.gz
+
+ NOTE: the `--unlink' option is _very_ important!
+
+ * Install a new boot block:
+
+ cd /usr/mdec
+ cp -p ./ufsboot /mnt/ufsboot
+ sync ; sleep 1 ; sync
+ ./installboot /mnt/ufsboot bootxx /dev/rsd0a
+ # Substitute your root partition here -^
+
+ * Sync the filesystems:
+
+ sync
+
+ * At this point you may extract any other binary sets
+ you may have placed on local filesystems, or you may
+ wish to extract additional sets at a later time.
+ To extract these sets, use the following commands:
+
+ cd /
+ tar --unlink -zxvpf <path to set>
+
+NOTE: you SHOULD NOT extract the `etc' set if upgrading. Instead,
+you should extract that set into another area and carefully merge
+the changes by hand.

+NetBSD 1.1 is the first "full" release of NetBSD for the sun3,
+including a full set of binaries. This binary distribution is
+referred to elsewhere in this document by the name NetBSD/sun3.
+This release offers improved stability and many new features.
+
+New features added since the 1.0 release include:
+* Native boot programs for disk, network, and tape
+* Automated installation tools (using a "miniroot")
+* New SCSI driver supporting DMA, interrupts, and
+ disconnect/reselect with SCSI-2 devices (optional)
+* Frame buffer drivers for bwtwo, cgtwo, and cgthree,
+ all compatible with SunOS and the X Window System
+* Support for the Virtually Addressed Cache (VAC) on
+ Sun3/260 models (and vastly improved performance)
+* SMD disk drivers -- almost (still need testing)
+
+Old features (from 1.0 and earier) worth mentioning:
+* SunOS 4.1 compatibility (runs most Sun3 applications)
+* Supports most SCSI devices (CD-ROM, etc)
+* Diskless boot capability
+* Built-in kernel debugger

+Installation is supported from several media types, including:
+ * Tape
+ * NFS
+ * CD-ROM
+ * FTP
+
+Note that installing on a "bare" machine requires some bootable
+device; either a tape drive or Sun-compatible NFS server.
+
+The procedure for transferring the distribution sets onto
+installation media depends on the type of media. Instructions
+for each type of media are given below.
+
+In order to create installation media, you will need all the
+files in these two directories:
+ .../NetBSD-1.1/sun3/install
+ .../NetBSD-1-1/sun3/binary
+
+* Creating boot/install tapes:
+
+Installing from tape is the simplest method of all.
+This method uses two tapes; one called the "boot"
+tape, and another called the "install" tape.
+
+The boot tape is created as follows:
+
+ cd .../NetBSD-1.1/sun3/install
+ set T = /dev/nrst0
+ mt -f $T rewind
+ dd if=tapeboot of=$T bs=8k conv=sync
+ dd if=netbsd-rd of=$T bs=8k conv=sync
+ gzip -d < miniroot.gz | dd of=$T bs=8k
+ mt -f $T rewind
+
+The install tape is created as follows:
+
+ cd .../NetBSD-1.1/sun3/install
+ set T = /dev/nrst0
+ mt -f $T rewind
+ foreach f (base etc comp games man misc text)
+ gzip -d < $f.gz | dd of=$T bs=8k
+ end
+ mt -f $T rewind
+
+If the tapes do not work as expected, you may need to explicitly
+set the EOF mark at the end of each tape segment. It may also be
+necessary to use the `conv=osync' argument to dd(1). Note that
+this argument is incompatible with the `bs=' argument. Consult
+the tape-related manual pages on the system where the tapes are
+created for more details.
+
+* Boot/Install from NFS server:
+
+If your machine has a disk and network connection, but no tape drive,
+it may be convenient for you to install NetBSD over the network. This
+involves temporarily booting your machine over NFS, just long enough
+so you can initialize its disk. This method requires that you have
+access to an NFS server on your network so you can configure it to
+support diskless boot for your machine. Configuring the NFS server
+is normally a task for a system administrator, and is not trivial.
+
+If you are using a NetBSD system as the boot-server, have a look at
+the diskless(8) manual page for guidelines on how to proceed with
+this. If the server runs another operating system, consult the
+documentation that came with it (i.e. add_client(8) on SunOS).
+
+Your Sun3 expects to be able to download a second stage bootstrap
+program via TFTP after having acquired its IP address through RARP
+when instructed to boot "over the net". It will look for a filename
+derived from the machine's IP address expressed in hexadecimal. For
+example, a sun3 which has been assigned IP address 130.115.144.11
+will make an TFTP request for `8273900B'. Normally, this file is a
+symbolic link to the NetBSD/sun3 "netboot" program, which should be
+located in a place where the TFTP daemon can find it (remember, many
+TFTP daemons run in a chroot'ed environment). The netboot program
+may be found in the install directory of this distribution.
+
+The netboot program will query a bootparamd server to find the
+NFS server address and path name for its root, and then load a
+kernel from that location. The server should have a copy of the
+netbsd-rd kernel in the root area for your client (no other files
+are needed in the client root) and /etc/bootparams on the server
+should have an entry for your client and its root directory.
+The client will need access to the miniroot image, which can be
+provided using NFS or remote shell. If using NFS, miniroot.gz
+must be expanded on the server, because there is no gzip program
+in the RAMDISK image. The unzipped miniroot takes 8MB of space.
+
+If you will be installing NetBSD on several clients, it may be useful
+to know that you can use a single NFS root for all the clients as long
+as they only use the netbsd-rd kernel. There will be no conflict
+between clients because the RAM-disk kernel will not use the NFS root.
+No swap file is needed; the RAM-disk kernel does not use that either.
+
+* Install/Upgrade from CD-ROM:
+
+This method requires that you boot from another device (i.e. tape
+or network, as described above). You may need to make a boot tape
+on another machine using the files provided on the CD-ROM. Once

+This method requires that you boot from another device (i.e. tape
+or network, as described above). You may need to make a boot tape
+on another machine using the files in .../install (which you get
+via FTP). Once you have booted netbsd-rd (the RAM-disk kernel)
+and loaded the miniroot, you can load any of the distribution sets
+over the net using FTP. The "install" program in the miniroot
+automates the work required to configure the network interface and
+transfer the files.

+This method, of course, requires network access to an FTP server.
+This might be a local system, or it might even be ftp.NetBSD.ORG
+itself. If you wish to use ftp.NetBSD.ORG as your FTP file
+server, you may want to keep the following information handy:
