p . This document describes the installation procedure for .Nx \*V on the .Em \*M platform. It is available in four different formats titled
a INSTALL. Ns Ar ext , where .Ar .ext is one of
a .ps , .html , .more , .No or Pa .txt : .(tag .morex -offset indent t Pa .ps PostScript. t Pa .html .No Standard Internet Tn HTML . t Pa .more The enhanced text format used on l systems by the .Xr more 1 and .Xr less 1 pager utility programs. This is the format in which the on-line .Em man pages are generally presented. t Pa .txt Plain old .Tn ASCII .
p You are reading the .Em \*[format] version. . .Ss "What is NetBSD?"
p . The .Nx Operating System is a fully functional .Tn Open Source l operating system derived from the University of California, Berkeley Networking Release 2 (Net/2), 4.4BSD-Lite, and 4.4BSD-Lite2 sources. .Nx runs on thirty-one different system architectures featuring twelve distinct families of CPUs, and is being ported to more. The .Nx \*V release contains complete binary releases for fifteen different machine types. (The sixteen remaining are not fully supported at this time and are thus not part of the binary distribution. For information on them, please see the .Nx web site at .Lk http://www.netbsd.org/ . )
p .Nx is a completely integrated system. In addition to its highly portable, high performance kernel, .nh .Nx features a complete set of user utilities, compilers for several languages, the X Window System, firewall software and numerous other tools, all accompanied by full source code.
p
XXX Should we include some text here about NetBSD's license
policies and how commercial-friendly it is?
.Nx
is a creation of the members of the Internet community.
Without the unique cooperation and coordination the net makes
possible, it's likely that
.Nx
wouldn't exist.
.Ss Upgrade path to NetBSD 1.5.1
If you are not installing your system ``from scratch'' but instead
are going to upgrade an existing system already running
.Nx
you need to know which versions you can upgrade with
.Nx
1.5.1.
p .Nx 1.5.1 is an upgrade of .Nx 1.5 and earlier major and patch releases of .Nx .
p The intermediate development versions of code available on the main trunk in our CVS repository (also known as ``NetBSD-current'') from .Em after the point where the release cycle for 1.5 was started are designated by version identifiers such as 1.5A, 1.5B, etc. These identifiers do not designate releases, but indicate major changes in internal kernel APIs. Note that the kernel from .Nx 1.5.1 can .Em not be used to upgrade a system running one of those intermediate development versions. Trying to use the .Nx 1.5.1 kernel on such a system .Em will probably result in problems.
p Please also note that it is not possible to do a direct ``version'' comparison between any of the intermediate development versions mentioned above and 1.5.1 to determine if a given feature is present or absent in 1.5.1. The development of 1.5 and the subsequent ``point'' releases is done on a separate branch in the CVS repository. The branch was created when the release cycle for 1.5 was started, and during the release cycle of 1.5 and its patch releases, selected fixes and enhancements have been imported from the main development trunk. So, there are features in 1.5.1 which were not in, e.g. 1.5B, and vice versa. .Ss Major Changes Between 1.5 and 1.5.1 The complete list of changes between .Nx 1.5 and 1.5.1 can be found in the file CHANGES-1.5.1 in the top directory of the source tree. The following are highlights only: l -bullet t A driver for the Aironet/Cisco wireless PCMCIA cards has been added; see .Xr an 4 . t NFS client performance has been improved, typically by 40% for writes but possibly up to 100% in certain setups. t The .Xr siop 4 driver has improved in performance and robustness. t Support for cloning pseudo-interfaces has been added. See .Xr ifconfig 8 . t Support for 802.1Q virtual LANs has been added. See .Xr vlan 4 . t The .Xr isp 4 driver has been upgraded to (among other things) work on MacPPC. t BIND has been upgraded to version 8.2.3 (SA2001-001). t Support for booting from RAIDframe RAID1 mirrors on i386 added. t The .Xr lfs 4 file system has again been substantially updated, but is still experimental. t Ultra/66 support has been added for capable VIA chipsets, and Ultra/100 support has been added for the HPT370, Promise and Intel ICH2 controllers in the .Xr pciide 4 driver. Support for Intel 82801BAM controllers has also been added, and handling of Ali controllers has been improved. t OpenSSH has been updated to deal with a security issue (SA2001-003). t Sendmail has been upgraded to version 8.11.3. t The .Xr ex 4 driver has added support for 3Com 3c555, 3c556 and 3c556B MiniPCI Ethernet cards. t A driver for the on-board audio hardware found on many Apple PowerMacs has been added; see .Xr awacs 4 . t The .Xr sip 4 driver has been fixed to properly support the dp83815, as found in current Netgear FA311 10/100 cards. t .Xr ftpd 8 has been updated to deal with two security issues (SA2000-018 and SA2001-005). t .Xr ntpd 8 has been updated to deal with a security issue (SA2001-004). t .Xr telnetd 8 has been updated to deal with a security issue (SA2000-017). t A vulnerability on i386 related to USER_LDT has been fixed (SA2001-002). t The Linux emulation has been enhanced to prepare for the support of using the Linux version of VMware. t IP checksumming speed has been improved on i386 compared to .Nx 1.5 by about 10%. t Support for the Socket Communications LP-E Type II PCMCIA NE2000 clone card has been added to .Xr ne 4 . t The DHCP software has been upgraded to ISC version 3, Beta 2, patchlevel 23, to fix core dumps in .Xr dhclient 8 , among other things. Please note that the new .Xr dhcpd 8 forces you to configure a "ddns-update-style" of either "ad-hoc", "interim" or "none". t Various fixes and enhancements to INET6 and IPSEC code; among them improved interaction between IPF/Nat and IPSEC. t The Heimdal .Xr kerberos 8 implementation has been upgraded to version 0.3e. t Support for Accton EN2242 and other AmdTek AN985 cards added to the .Xr tlp 4 driver. t Several country-specific keyboard mappings have been added for USB keyboards. t A driver for Yamaha YMF724/740/744/745-based sound cards has been added, see .Xr yds 4 . t The maximum number of BSD disklabel partitions on the i386 port has been increased from 8 to 16. t Drivers for the AC'97 based audio sound chips ESS Technology Maestro 1, 2, and 2E (see .Xr esm 4 ), NeoMagic 256 (see .Xr neo 4 ), and Cirrus Logic CrystalClear PCI Audio CS4281 (see .Xr clct 4 ) have been added. .El
p In addition, many bugs have been fixed\(emmore than 95 problems reported through our problem tracking system have been fixed, and some other non-reported problems have also been found and fixed. See the CHANGES-1.5.1 file for the complete list. .Ss New Compatibility Issues Introduced With NetBSD 1.5.1
p With the increase of the maximum number of partitions from 8 to 16 on the i386 port, it is worth noting: l -bullet t Once you start using more than 8 partitions, you can no longer downgrade to a 1.5 kernel. t The user-land tools which handle disklabels in 1.5.1 can not be used running under a 1.5 kernel. .El .\} .Ss Changes Between The NetBSD 1.4 and 1.5 Releases
p The .Nx 1.5 release provides numerous significant functional enhancements, including support for many new devices, integration of hundreds of bug fixes, new and updated kernel subsystems, and many userland enhancements. The result of these improvements is a stable operating system fit for production use that rivals most commercially available systems.
p It is impossible to completely summarize over one year of development that went into the .Nx \*V release. Some highlights include: . .Ss2 Kernel . .(bullet Ports to new platforms including: arc, cobalt, hpcmips, news68k, sgimips, and sparc64. t Improved performance and stability of the UVM virtual memory subsystem. t Implementation of generic kernel locking code, as well as a restructure and re-tuning of the scheduler, to be used by the future symmetric multi-processing (SMP) implementation. t Improved compatibility support for Linux, OSF1, and SVR4 programs. t New compatibility support for Win32 programs. t Support for dynamically loaded ELF kernel modules. t Kernel process tracing using .Xr ktruss 1 . t Deletion of swap devices using .Xr swapctl 8 . t Easier hot-pluggability of keyboards and mice using a new wscons device\(emwsmux. t Improved PCMCIA and CardBus support, including support for detaching of devices and cards, resulting in better support for notebooks and PDA devices. t Numerous hardware improvements, including areas such as: audio, UDMA/66 support for ATA drives, USB, and wireless networking. .bullet) . .Ss2 Networking . .(bullet Addition of IP version 6 (IPv6) and IPsec to the networking stack, from the KAME project. This includes addition of kernel code for IPv6/IPsec, IPv4/v6 dual-stack user applications and supporting libraries. Due to this, the shlib major version for .Xr pcap 3 is incremented and you may need to recompile userland tools. The KAME IPv6 part includes results from the unified-IPv6 effort. .bullet) . .Ss2 File system . .(bullet Significant Fast file system (FFS) performance enhancements via integration of Kirk McKusick's soft updates and trickle sync code. t Support for the .Tn "Windows NT" .Sq NTFS file system (read-only at this stage). t Support for revision 1 of the .Tn Linux .Sq ext2fs file system. t Enhanced stability and usability of LFS (the x log-structured file system). t Various RAIDframe enhancements including: auto-detection of RAID components and auto-configuration of RAID sets, and the ability to configure the root file system
q Pa / on a RAID set. t Support for .Tn Microsoft Joliet extensions to the ISO9660 CD file system. t Improved file system vnode locking mechanisms, thus resolving a source of several panics in the past. t Support for NFS and RPC over IPv6. t The server part of NFS locking (implemented by .Xr rpc.lockd 8 ) now works. .bullet) . .Ss2 Security . .(bullet Strong cryptographic libraries and applications integrated, including the AES cipher Rijndael, the OpenSSL library, more complete Kerberos IV and Kerberos V support, and an SSH server and client. t .Xr sysctl 3 interfaces to various elements of process and system information, allowing programs such as .Xr ps 1 , .Xr dmesg 1 and the like to operate without recompilation after kernel upgrades, and remove the necessity to run setgid kmem (thus improving system security). t Disable various services by default, and set the default options for disabled daemons to a higher level of logging. t Several code audits were performed. One audit replaced string routines that were used without bounds checking, and another one identified and disabled places where format strings were used in unsafe ways, allowing arbitrary data to be entered by (possibly) malicious users to overwrite application code, and leading from Denial of Service attacks to compromised systems. t .Xr sshd 8 and .Xr ssh 1 now require .Xr rnd 4 kernel random number devices. .bullet) . .Ss2 System administration and user tools . .(bullet Conversion of the .Xr rc 8 system startup and shutdown scripts to an .Sq rc.d mechanism, with separate control scripts for each service, and appropriate dependency ordering provided by .Xr rcorder 8 . t .Xr postfix 1 provided as alternative mail transport agent to .Xr sendmail 8 . t User management tools .Xr useradd 8 , .Xr usermod 8 , .Xr userdel 8 , .Xr groupadd 8 , .Xr groupmod 8 , and .Xr groupdel 8 added to the system. t Incorporation of a login class capability database
q Pa /etc/login.conf from .Tn BSD/OS . t Improved support for usernames longer than eight characters in programs such as .Xr at 1 and .Xr w 1 . t Many enhancements to .Xr ftpd 8 providing features found in larger and less secure FTP daemons, such as user classes, connection limits, improved support for virtual hosting, transfer statistics, transfer rate throttling, and support for various IETF ftpext working group extensions. t The .Xr ftp 1 client has been improved even further, including transfer rate throttling, improved URL support, command line uploads. See the man page for details. .bullet) . .Ss2 Miscellaneous . .(bullet Updates to the .Nx source code style code (located in
a /usr/share/misc/style ) to use ANSI C only (instead of K&R) and reflect current (best) practice, and begin migrating the .Nx source code to follow it. t Implementation of many SUSv2 features to the .Xr curses 3 library, including support for color. t Updates of most third party packages that are shipped in the base system, including .Xr file 1 , .Xr ipfilter 4 , .Xr ppp 4 , and .Xr sendmail 8 to the latest stable release. t Many new packages in the .Em pkgsrc system, including standard desktops like KDE and GNOME as well as latest Tcl/Tk and perl and many of the components of the Java Enterprise platform. The package framework itself now has full wildcard dependency support. .bullet)
p Kernel interfaces have continued to be refined, and more subsystems and device drivers are shared among the different ports. You can look for this trend to continue.
p .so whatis ----------------------------------------------- .\} \" \n[FOR_RELEASE] . .Ss "The Future of NetBSD"
p . The .Nx Foundation has been incorporated as a non-profit organization. Its purpose is to encourage, foster and promote the free exchange of computer software, namely the .Nx Operating System. The foundation will allow for many things to be handled more smoothly than could be done with our previous informal organization. In particular, it provides the framework to deal with other parties that wish to become involved in the .Nx Project.
p The .Nx Foundation will help improve the quality of .Nx by: .(bullet providing better organization to keep track of development efforts, including co-ordination with groups working in related fields. t providing a framework to receive donations of goods and services and to own the resources necessary to run the .Nx Project. t providing a better position from which to undertake promotional activities. t periodically organizing workshops for developers and other interested people to discuss ongoing work. .bullet)
p We intend to begin narrowing the time delay between releases. Our ambition is to provide a full release every six to eight months.
p We hope to support even .Em more hardware in the future, and we have a rather large number of other ideas about what can be done to improve .Nx .
p We intend to continue our current practice of making the NetBSD-current development source available on a daily basis.
p We intend to integrate free, positive changes from whatever sources submit them, providing that they are well thought-out and increase the usability of the system.
p Above all, we hope to create a stable and accessible system, and to be responsive to the needs and desires of .Nx users, because it is for and because of them that .Nx exists. . .Ss "Sources of NetBSD"
p . Refer to .Lk http://www.netbsd.org/Sites/net.html . . .Ss "NetBSD \*V Release Contents
p . The root directory of the .Nx \*V release is organized as follows:

p In addition to the files and directories listed above, there is one directory per architecture, for each of the architectures for which .Nx \*V has a binary distribution. There are also
a README.export-control files sprinkled liberally throughout the distribution tree, which point out that there are some portions of the distribution that may be subject to export regulations of the United States, e.g. code under
a src/sys/crypto . It is your responsibility to determine whether or not it is legal for you to export these portions and to act accordingly.
p The source distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the
a source subdirectory of the distribution tree. They contain the complete sources to the system. The source distribution sets are as follows: .(tag sharesrc t Sy gnusrc This set contains the .Dq gnu sources, including the source for the compiler, assembler, groff, and the other GNU utilities in the binary distribution sets. .Em 22.3 MB gzipped, 98.8 MB uncompressed t Sy pkgsrc This set contains the .Dq pkgsrc sources, which contain the infrastructure to build third-party packages. .Em 7.4 MB gzipped, 73.0 MB uncompressed t Sy sharesrc This set contains the .Dq share sources, which include the sources for the man pages not associated with any particular program; the sources for the typesettable document set; the dictionaries; and more. .Em 3.3 MB gzipped, 13.2 MB uncompressed t Sy src This set contains all of the base .Nx \*V sources which are not in .Sy gnusrc , .Sy sharesrc , or .Sy syssrc . .Em 24.8 MB gzipped, 123.1 MB uncompressed t Sy syssrc This set contains the sources to the .Nx \*V kernel for all architectures; .Xr config 8 ; and .Xr dbsym 8 . .Em 18.0 MB gzipped, 90.9 MB uncompressed t Sy xsrc This set contains the sources to the X Window System. .Em 78.1 MB gzipped, 393.6 MB uncompressed

p The source sets are distributed as compressed tar files. They may be unpacked into
p .Dl # Ic "( cd / ; tar -zxpf - ) < set_name.tgz"
p The
a sets/Split/ subdirectory contains split versions of the source sets for those users who need to load the source sets from floppy or otherwise need a split distribution. The split sets are named
a "set_name." Ns Ar xx where
a set_name is the distribution set name, and .Ar xx is the sequence number of the file, starting with .Dq aa for the first file in the distribution set, then .Dq ab for the next, and so on. All of these files except the last one of each set should be exactly 240,640 bytes long. (The last file is just long enough to contain the remainder of the data for that distribution set.)
p The split distributions may be reassembled and extracted with c cat as follows:
p .Dl # Ic "cat set_name.?? | ( cd / ; tar -zxpf - )"

p . Users upgrading from previous versions of .Nx may wish to bear the following problems and compatibility issues in mind when upgrading to .Nx \*V . .Ss2 General issues .(bullet
p Prior to .Nx 1.5 ,
a /etc/rc was a traditional x style monolithic file; each discrete program or substem from
a /etc/netstart has been moved into separate scripts in
p At system startup,
a /etc/rc uses .Xr rcorder 8 to build a dependency list of the files in
a /etc/rc.d and then executes each script in turn with an argument of .Sq start . Many
a rc.d scripts won't start unless the appropriate .Xr rc.conf 5 entry in
a /etc/rc.conf is set to .Sq YES.
p At system shutdown,
a /etc/rc.shutdown uses .Xr rcorder 8 to build a dependency list of the files in
a /etc/rc.d that have a .Dq "KEYWORD: shutdown" line, reverses the resulting list, and then executes each script in turn with an argument of .Sq stop . The following scripts support a specific shutdown method:
a cron ,
a inetd ,
a local , and
a xdm .
p Local and third-party scripts may be installed into
a /etc/rc.d as necessary. Refer to the other scripts in that directory and .Xr rc 8 for more information on implementing
a rc.d scripts. .bullet) .Ss2 Issues affecting an upgrade from NetBSD 1.4 or prior .(bullet .Xr named 8 leaks version information .
p Previous releases of .Nx disabled a feature of .Xr named 8 where the version number of the server could be determined by remote clients. This feature has not been disabled in .Nx 1.5 , because there is a .Xr named.conf 5 option to change the version string: .(disp option { version "newstring"; }; .disp) . t .Xr sysctl 8 pathname changed .
p .Xr sysctl 8 is moved from
a /sbin/sysctl . If you have hardcoded references to the full pathname
q in shell scripts, for example
please be sure to update those.
t .Xr sendmail 8
configuration file pathname changed
.
p Due to .Xr sendmail 8 upgrade from 8.9.x to 8.10.x,
a /etc/sendmail.cf is moved to
a /etc/mail/sendmail.cf . Also, the default .Xr sendmail.cf 5 refers different pathnames than before. For example,
a /etc/aliases is now located at
a /etc/sendmail.cw is now called
a /etc/mail/local-host-names , and so forth. If you have customized .Xr sendmail.cf 5 and friends, you will need to move the files to the new locations. See
a /usr/share/sendmail/README for more information. .bullet) .
p . . .Ss "Using online NetBSD documentation"
p Documentation is available if you first install the manual distribution set. Traditionally, the .Dq man pages (documentation) are denoted by .Sq Li name(section) . Some examples of this are
p .(bullet -compact -offset indent .Xr intro 1 , t .Xr man 1 , t .Xr apropros 1 , t .Xr passwd 1 , and t .Xr passwd 5 . .bullet)
p The section numbers group the topics into several categories, but three are of primary interest: user commands are in section 1, file formats are in section 5, and administrative information is in section 8.
p .No The Em man command is used to view the documentation on a topic, and is started by entering c man Op Ar section .Ar topic . The brackets .Op \& around the section should not be entered, but rather indicate that the section is optional. If you don't ask for a particular section, the topic with the lowest numbered section name will be displayed. For instance, after logging in, enter
p .Dl # Ic "man passwd"
p to read the documentation for .Xr passwd 1 . To view the documentation for .Xr passwd 5 , enter
p .Dl # Ic "man 5 passwd"
p instead.
