1 $NetBSD: contents,v 1.10 1998/01/09 18:46:05 perry Exp $ 2 3The Atari-specific portion of the NetBSD _VER release is found in the 4"atari" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid 5out as follows: 6 7.../NetBSD-_VER/atari/ 8 binary/ atari binary distribution sets; 9 see below. 10 11 floppies/ atari boot and installation 12 floppies; see below. 13 14 security/ atari security distribution; 15 see below; 16 17 utils.netbsd/ 18 utils.tos/ Miscellaneous atari 19 installation utilities; see 20 installation section, below. 21 22There are three atari floppy images to be found in the "atari/floppies" 23subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution. One of them is a 24bootable TOS kernel floppy and the other two are installation floppies. 25They are described in more detail below. There are gzipped versions 26of each available, for easier downloading. (The gzipped version 27have the ".gz" extension added to their names.) 28 29Bootable Kernel floppy: 30 31 This TOS disk contains the loadbsd and chg_pid programs 32 and a kernel. It is setup so that you can insert it 33 int your floppy drive, and start the programs from GEM. 34 35 For the TT030 and Falcon, the floppy is named boot-_SVER_S.fs and 36 the kernel supplied is 'BOOT'. For the Hades, you need the 37 hades-boot-_SVER_S.fs floppy. The kernel is 'HADES'. 38 39Installation floppy: 40 41 This disk contains a BSD root file system setup to help 42 you install the rest of NetBSD. This includes formatting 43 and mounting your root and /usr partitions and getting 44 ready to extract (and possibly first fetching) the distribution 45 sets. There is enough on this file system to allow you to 46 make a slip connection, configure an ethernet, mount an NFS 47 file system or ftp. You can also load distribution sets from 48 a SCSI tape or from one of your existing GEMDOS partitions. 49 50 These floppies are named "miniroot-_SVER_S.fs.1" and "miniroot-_SVER_S.fs.2". 51 52There are also TOS utilities in the "atari/utils.tos" subdirectory, which 53you will need to get NetBSD/Atari 'up-and-running'. 54 55 The "gzip.ttp" program allows you to uncompress .gz images. The 56 usage is "gzip.ttp -d filename.gz". 57 58 The "rawwrite.ttp" program allows you to create the installation 59 floppy disks from the files in the "atari/floppies" directory. 60 61 The "aptck.ttp" program reads the partition tables present on a 62 given disk and tries to interpret then the same way the NetBSD 63 kernel does. If you have a disk on which GEMDOS and NetBSD are 64 to co-exist, It is a good idea to run this before you begin the 65 NetBSD/Atari installation just to check that the kernel's view 66 of the partition tables agree with GEMDOS's view. If you have 67 more than 3 partitions defined on a disk you will notice that 68 the NetBSD/Atari partition starts one sector after the GEMDOS 69 partition. This is to allow space for the auxilliary root for 70 the 4th and subsequent partitions. 71 72 The "loadbsd.ttp" program loads the NetBSD/Atari kernel from TOS 73 (or MiNT, MultiTOS, etc.). 74 75The NetBSD/Atari kernels are in the "atari/kernels" subdirectory. 76 77The NetBSD/atari binary distribution sets contain the binaries which 78comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the atari. There are seven binary 79distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary 80distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the "atari/binary" 81subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution tree, and are as follows: 82 83 base The NetBSD/atari _VER base binary distribution. You 84 MUST install this distribution set. It contains the 85 base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the 86 system to run and be minimally functional. It 87 includes shared library support, and excludes 88 everything described below. 89 [ 8.7M gzipped, 25.2M uncompressed ] 90 91 comp The NetBSD/atari Compiler tools. All of the tools 92 relating to C, C++, and FORTRAN (yes, there are two!). 93 This set includes the system include files 94 (/usr/include), the linker, the compiler tool chain, 95 and the various system libraries (except the shared 96 libraries, which are included as part of the base 97 set). This set also includes the manual pages for all 98 of the utilities it contains, as well as the system 99 call and library manual pages. 100 [ 6.5M gzipped, 22.9M uncompressed ] 101 102 etc This distribution set contains the system 103 configuration files that reside in /etc and in several 104 other places. This set MUST be installed if you are 105 installing the system from scratch, but should NOT be 106 used if you are upgrading. (If you are upgrading, 107 it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and 108 CAREFULLY upgrade your configuration files by hand.) 109 [ 52K gzipped, 320K uncompressed ] 110 111 games This set includes the games and their manual pages. 112 [ 2.8M gzipped, 7.2M uncompressed ] 113 114 man This set includes all of the manual pages for the 115 binaries and other software contained in the base set. 116 Note that it does not include any of the manual pages 117 that are included in the other sets. 118 [ 2.4M gzipped, 10.0M uncompressed ] 119 120 misc This set includes the system dictionaries (which are 121 rather large), the typesettable document set, and 122 man pages for other architectures which happen to be 123 installed from the source tree by default. 124 [ 2.1M gzipped, 8.1M uncompressed ] 125 126 text This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools, 127 including groff, all related programs, and their 128 manual pages. 129 [ 960K gzipped, 3.7M uncompressed ] 130 131The atari security distribution set is named "secr" and can be found 132in the "atari/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution 133tree. It contains crypt.c (the source file for the DES encryption 134algorithm) and the binaries which depend on it. It can only be found 135on those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that 136can legally obtain it. (Remember, because of United States law, it 137may not be legal to distribute this set to locations outside of the 138United States and Canada.) [ 740K gzipped, 2.5M uncompressed ] 139 140The atari binary distribution sets are distributed in the same form as 141the source distribution sets; catted together, the members of a set 142form a gzipped tar file. Each atari binary distribution set also has 143its own "CKSUMS" file, just as the source distribution sets do. 144 145The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally 146well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that 147method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory. That 148is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e. 149replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xvfp" 150from /. Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those 151programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced. If you 152follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, this will be 153taken care of for you. 154
