+.Sh 1 "Introduction"
+.PP
+This document explains how to install the \*(4B Berkeley
+version of UNIX on your system.
+The filesystem format is compatible with \*(Ps
+and it will only be necessary for you to do a full bootstrap
+procedure if you are installing the release on a new machine.
+The object file formats are completely different from the System
+V release, so the most straightforward procedure for upgrading
+a System V system is to do a full bootstrap.
+.PP
+The full bootstrap procedure
+is outlined in section 2; the process starts with copying a filesystem
+image onto a new disk.
+This filesystem is then booted and used to extract the remainder of the
+system binaries and sources from the archives on the tape(s).
+.PP
+The technique for upgrading a \*(Ps system is described
+in section 3 of this document.
+The upgrade procedure involves extracting system binaries
+onto new root and
+.Pn /usr
+filesystems and merging local
+configuration files into the new system.
+User filesystems may be upgraded in place.
+Most \*(Ps binaries may be used with \*(4B in the course
+of the conversion.
+It is desirable to recompile local sources after the conversion,
+as the new compiler (GCC) provides superior code optimization.
+Consult section 3.5 for a description of some of the differences
+between \*(Ps and \*(4B.
+.Sh 2 "Distribution format"
+.PP
+The distribution comes in two formats:
+.DS
+(3)\0\0 6250bpi 2400' 9-track magnetic tapes, or
+(1)\0\0 8mm Exabyte tape
+.DE
+.PP
+If you have the facilities, we \fBstrongly\fP recommend copying the
+magnetic tape(s) in the distribution kit to guard against disaster.
+The tapes contain \*(Bb-byte records.
+There are interspersed tape marks;
+end-of-tape is signaled by a double end-of-file.
+The first file on the tape is architecture dependent.
+Additional files on the tape(s)
+contain tape archive images of the system binaries and sources (see
+.Xr tar (1)\**).
+.FS
+References of the form \fIX\fP(Y) mean the entry named
+\fIX\fP in section Y of the ``UNIX Programmer's Manual''.
+.FE
+See the tape label for a description of the contents
+and format of each individual tape.
+.Sh 2 "UNIX device naming"
+.PP
+Device names have a different syntax depending on whether you are talking
+to the standalone system or a running UNIX kernel.
+The standalone system syntax is currently architecture dependent and is
+described in the various architecture specific sections as applicable.
+When not running standalone, devices are available via files in the
+.Pn /dev/
+directory.
+The file name typically encodes the device type, its logical unit and
+a partition within that unit.
+For example,
+.Pn /dev/sd2b
+refers to the second partition (``b'') of
+SCSI (``sd'') drive number ``2'', while
+.Pn /dev/rmt0
+refers to the raw (``r'') interface of 9-track tape (``mt'') unit ``0''.
+.PP
+The mapping of physical addressing information (e.g. controller, target)
+to a logical unit number is dependent on the system configuration.
+In all simple cases, where only a single controller is present, a drive
+with physical unit number 0 (e.g., as determined by its unit
+specification, either unit plug or other selection mechanism)
+will be called unit 0 in its UNIX file name.
+This is not, however, strictly
+necessary, since the system has a level of indirection in this naming.
+If there are multiple controllers, the disk unit numbers will normally
+be counted sequentially across controllers. This can be taken
+advantage of to make the system less dependent on the interconnect
+topology, and to make reconfiguration after hardware failure easier.
+.PP
+Each UNIX physical disk is divided into at most 8 logical disk partitions,
+each of which may occupy any consecutive cylinder range on the physical
+device. The cylinders occupied by the 8 partitions for each drive type
+are specified initially in the disk description file
+.Pn /etc/disktab
+(c.f.
+.Xr disktab (5)).
+The partition information and description of the
+drive geometry are written in one of the first sectors of each disk with the
+.Xr disklabel (8)
+program. Each partition may be used for either a
+raw data area such as a paging area or to store a UNIX filesystem.
+It is conventional for the first partition on a disk to be used
+to store a root filesystem, from which UNIX may be bootstrapped.
+The second partition is traditionally used as a paging area, and the
+rest of the disk is divided into spaces for additional ``mounted
+filesystems'' by use of one or more additional partitions.
+.Sh 2 "UNIX devices: block and raw"
+.PP
+UNIX makes a distinction between ``block'' and ``raw'' (character)
+devices. Each disk has a block device interface where
+the system makes the device byte addressable and you can write
+a single byte in the middle of the disk. The system will read
+out the data from the disk sector, insert the byte you gave it
+and put the modified data back. The disks with the names
+.Pn /dev/xx0[a-h] ,
+etc., are block devices.
+There are also raw devices available.
+These have names like
+.Pn /dev/rxx0[a-h] ,
+the ``r'' here standing for ``raw''.
+Raw devices bypass the buffer cache and use DMA directly to/from
+the program's I/O buffers;
+they are normally restricted to full-sector transfers.
+In the bootstrap procedures we
+will often suggest using the raw devices, because these tend
+to work faster.
+Raw devices are used when making new filesystems,
+when checking unmounted filesystems,
+or for copying quiescent filesystems.
+The block devices are used to mount filesystems.
+.PP
+You should be aware that it is sometimes important whether to use
+the character device (for efficiency) or not (because it would not
+work, e.g. to write a single byte in the middle of a sector).
+Do not change the instructions by using the wrong type of device
+indiscriminately.
