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!!!) |
