contents revision 1.7.2.2
1 The mac68k-specific portion of the NetBSD _VER release is found in the 2 "mac68k" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid 3 out as follows: 4 5 .../NetBSD-_VER/mac68k/ 6 SOURCE_DATE the date, in the default format 7 produced by the date(1) command, 8 of the source that the release was 9 built from 10 11 INSTALL these installation notes 12 13 <<<<<<< contents 14 binary/ mac68k system binaries; 15 see below. 16 17 installation/ installation helper items 18 ||||||| 1.7 19 utils/ The mac68k installation utilities. 20 ======= 21 X11/ mac68k X distribution sets; 22 see below. 23 24 utils/ The mac68k installation utilities. 25 >>>>>>> 1.8 26 27 <<<<<<< contents 28 The NetBSD/mac68k system binaries include the NetBSD/mac68k binary 29 distribution sets, additional kernels, and security-related system 30 binaries. The NetBSD _VER release for the mac68k port is comprised of 31 those files found in the "mac68k/binary/sets" subdirectory of the NetBSD 32 _VER distribution tree. There are seven system distribution sets, two 33 kernel distribution sets, and five X distribution sets. The files in the 34 "sets" subdirectory are as follows: 35 36 CKSUMS checksums for the various files in the "sets" 37 directory, in the default format produced by the 38 cksum(1) command 39 40 base.tgz The NetBSD/mac68k _VER base binary distribution. 41 You MUST install this distribution set. It 42 contains the base NetBSD utilities that are 43 necessary for the system to run and be minimally 44 functional. It includes shared library support, 45 and excludes everything described below. 46 [ 8.6M gzipped, 25.1M uncompressed ] 47 48 comp.tgz The NetBSD/mac68k Compiler tools; all of the tools 49 relating to C and C++. This set includes the 50 system include files (/usr/include), the linker, 51 the compiler tool chain, and the various system 52 libraries (except the shared libraries, which are 53 included as part of the base set). This set also 54 includes the manual pages for all of the utilities 55 it contains, as well as the system call and library 56 manual pages. 57 [ 6.2M gzipped, 21.6M uncompressed ] 58 59 etc.tgz This distribution set contains the system 60 configuration files that reside in /etc and in 61 several other places. This set MUST be installed 62 if you are installing the system from scratch, but 63 should NOT be used if you are upgrading. (If you 64 are upgrading, it's recommended that you get a copy 65 of this set and CAREFULLY upgrade your 66 configuration files by hand.) 67 [ 49K gzipped, 288K uncompressed ] 68 69 games.tgz This set includes the games and their manual pages. 70 [ 2.8M gzipped, 7.2M uncompressed ] 71 72 kern_sbc.tgz 73 kern.tgz The NetBSD/mac68k _VER kernel binary. You MUST 74 install this file. It is the kernel that you need 75 to boot the system. If you experience SCSI-related 76 difficulties with your 68030-based system, you 77 might want to try kern_sbc.tgz instead. 78 [ 606K gzipped, 1.32M uncompressed ] 79 80 man.tgz This set includes all of the manual pages for the 81 binaries and other software contained in the base 82 set. Note that it does not include any of the 83 manual pages that are included in the other sets. 84 [ 2.2M gzipped, 8.8M uncompressed ] 85 86 misc.tgz This set includes the system dictionaries (which 87 are rather large), the typesettable document set, 88 and man pages for other architectures which happen 89 to be installed from the source tree by default. 90 [ 2.1M gzipped, 7.6M uncompressed ] 91 92 text.tgz This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools, 93 including groff, all related programs, and their 94 manual pages. 95 [ 1.0M gzipped, 3.7M uncompressed ] 96 ||||||| 1.7 97 The NetBSD/mac68k binary distribution sets contain the binaries which 98 comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the mac68k. There are eight binary 99 distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary 100 distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the "mac68k/binary" 101 subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution tree, and are as follows: 102 103 netbsd13 The NetBSD/mac68k _VER kernel binary. You MUST 104 install this file. It is the kernel that you need 105 to boot the system. 106 [ 606K gzipped, 1.32M uncompressed ] 107 108 base13 The NetBSD/mac68k _VER base binary distribution. You 109 MUST install this distribution set. It contains the 110 base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the 111 system to run and be minimally functional. It 112 includes shared library support, and excludes 113 everything described below. 114 [ 8.6M gzipped, 25.1M uncompressed ] 115 116 comp13 The NetBSD/mac68k Compiler tools; all of the tools 117 relating to C and C++. 118 This set includes the system include files 119 (/usr/include), the linker, the compiler tool chain, 120 and the various system libraries (except the shared 121 libraries, which are included as part of the base 122 set). This set also includes the manual pages for all 123 of the utilities it contains, as well as the system 124 call and library manual pages. 125 [ 6.2M gzipped, 21.6M uncompressed ] 126 127 etc13 This distribution set contains the system 128 configuration files that reside in /etc and in several 129 other places. This set MUST be installed if you are 130 installing the system from scratch, but should NOT be 131 used if you are upgrading. (If you are upgrading, 132 it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and 133 CAREFULLY upgrade your configuration files by hand.) 134 [ 49K gzipped, 288K uncompressed ] 135 136 games13 This set includes the games and their manual pages. 137 [ 2.8M gzipped, 7.2M uncompressed ] 138 139 man13 This set includes all of the manual pages for the 140 binaries and other software contained in the base set. 141 Note that it does not include any of the manual pages 142 that are included in the other sets. 143 [ 2.2M gzipped, 8.8M uncompressed ] 144 145 misc13 This set includes the system dictionaries (which are 146 rather large), the typesettable document set, and 147 man pages for other architectures which happen to be 148 installed from the source tree by default. 149 [ 2.1M gzipped, 7.6M uncompressed ] 150 151 text13 This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools, 152 including groff, all related programs, and their 153 manual pages. 154 [ 1.0M gzipped, 3.7M uncompressed ] 155 156 The mac68k security distribution set is named "secr13" and can be found 157 in the "mac68k/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution 158 tree. It contains the crypt libraries (for the DES encryption algorithm) 159 and the binaries which depend on it. It can only be found on those sites 160 which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that can legally obtain 161 it. (Remember, because of United States law, it may not be legal to 162 distribute this set to locations outside of the United States and Canada.) 163 [ 779K gzipped, 2.5M uncompressed ] 164 ======= 165 The NetBSD/mac68k binary distribution sets contain the binaries which 166 comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the mac68k. There are eight binary 167 distribution sets, the "security" distribution set, and five X distribution 168 sets. The binary distribution sets can be found in the "mac68k/binary" 169 subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution tree, and are as follows: 170 171 netbsd13 The NetBSD/mac68k _VER kernel binary.

It contains the crypt libraries (for the DES encryption algorithm) 227 and the binaries which depend on it. It can only be found on those sites 228 which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that can legally obtain 229 it. (Remember, because of United States law, it may not be legal to 230 distribute this set to locations outside of the United States and Canada.) 231 [ 779K gzipped, 2.5M uncompressed ] 232 >>>>>>> 1.8 233 234 <<<<<<< contents 235 xbase.tgz X clients, shared libraries, and related man pages. 236 Also includes bitmaps and miscellaneous 237 configuration files. 238 [ 2.34 M gzipped, 7.46M uncompressed ] 239 240 xcomp.tgz Static libraries, include files (except bitmaps), 241 X config files (for xmkmf), and related man pages. 242 [ 1.57M gzipped, 6.38M uncompressed ] 243 244 xcontrib.tgz User-contributed X binaries (e.g. xev, xload) built 245 from the X11 "contrib" sources with man pages and 246 default config files. 247 [ 178K gzipped, 661K uncompressed ] 248 249 xfont.tgz X11 fonts. 250 [ 5.66M gzipped, 6.99M uncompressed ] 251 252 xserver.tgz The Xmac68k _monochrome_ server with man pages. 253 [ 1.32M gzipped, 3.25M uncompressed ] 254 255 The NetBSD/mac68k security distribution set is named "secr.tgz" and can be 256 found in the "mac68k/binary/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER 257 distribution tree. It contains the crypt libraries (for the DES encryption 258 algorithm) and the binaries built from the "src/domestic" portion of the 259 NetBSD source tree which depend on it. It can only be found on those sites 260 which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that can legally obtain 261 it. (Remember, because of United States law, it may not be legal to 262 distribute this set to locations outside of the United States and Canada.) 263 [ 779K gzipped, 2.5M uncompressed ] 264 265 The mac68k binary distribution sets are distributed as full .tar.gz files 266 (with the extension .tgz because the software used to download the sets may 267 incorrectly auto-unpack files ending in .gz and to accomodate systems which 268 only support 3 character extensions to file names). The instructions 269 given for extracting the source sets work equally well for the binary sets, 270 but it is worth noting that if you use that method, the files are extracted 271 "below" the current directory. That is, if you want to extract the 272 binaries "into" your system, i.e. replace the system binaries with them, 273 you have to run the "tar xpf" from /. Also note that if you upgrade or 274 install this way, those programs that you are using at the time will NOT be 275 replaced. If you follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, 276 this will be taken care of for you. 277 278 Additional kernels to those included in the distribution sets may be found 279 in the "mac68k/binary/kernels" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution 280 tree. These kernels are generally named something like "netbsd-GENERIC.gz" 281 or some other suitable name. Please note that these kernels are simply 282 gzipped and are not in tar archives. A CKSUM file is included in this 283 directory as well. 284 285 The MacOS-based utilities necessary for installing and running NetBSD can 286 be found in the "mac68k/installation/misc" subdirectory of the NetBSD 287 _VER distribution tree. The important files in this directory are as 288 follows: 289 290 Booter.sea.hqx The NetBSD/Mac68k Booter utility. This 291 program is used to boot the NetBSD kernel 292 from within MacOS. 293 [ 141 K archived ] 294 295 Installer.sea.hqx The NetBSD/Mac68k Installer utility. This 296 program is used to install the distribution 297 sets onto your NetBSD partition(s). 298 [ 147 K archived ] 299 300 Mkfs.sea.hqx The Mkfs utility. This program is used to 301 format your chosen partitions so that they 302 can be used with NetBSD. 303 [ 76 K archived ] 304 305 These files are all binhexed, self-extracting archives. If you need them, 306 the sources for these utilities are in the "src" subdirectory. 307 ||||||| 1.7 308 The mac68k binary distribution sets are distributed as full .tar.gz 309 files (without that extension). The instructions given for extracting 310 the source sets work equally well for the binary sets, but it is worth 311 noting that if you use that method, the files are extracted "below" the 312 current directory. That is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" 313 your system, i.e. replace the system binaries with them, you have to run 314 the "tar xfp" from /. Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, 315 those programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced. If 316 you follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, this will be 317 taken care of for you. 318 ======= 319 The NetBSD _VER distribution includes a full X11 build for NetBSD/mac68k 320 systems. Except for some minor changes to facilitate building under 321 NetBSD in general, the X clients and related libraries were built "out of 322 the box" from an XFree86 3.3.1 tree, which in turn was based on X11R6.3. 323 The binaries were built on, and require, a NetBSD/mac68k _VER system. The 324 mac68k X distribution sets can be found in the "mac68k/X11" subdirectory 325 of the NetBSD _VER distribution tree, and are as follows: 326 327 xbase13 X clients, shared libraries, and related man pages. 328 Also includes bitmaps and miscellaneous 329 configuration files. 330 [ 2.34 M gzipped, 7.46M uncompressed ] 331 332 xserver13 The Xmac68k _monochrome_ server with man pages. 333 [ 1.32M gzipped, 3.25M uncompressed ] 334 335 xfont13 X fonts. 336 [ 5.66M gzipped, 6.99M uncompressed ] 337 338 xcomp13 Static libraries, include files (except bitmaps), 339 X config files (for xmkmf), and related man pages. 340 [ 1.57M gzipped, 6.38M uncompressed ] 341 342 xcontrib User-contributed X binaries (e.g. xev, xload) with 343 man pages and default config files. 344 [ 178K gzipped, 661K uncompressed ] 345 346 The mac68k binary distribution sets are distributed as full .tar.gz files 347 (without that extension). The instructions given for extracting the 348 source sets work equally well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting 349 that if you use that method, the files are extracted "below" the current 350 directory. That is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your 351 system, i.e. replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the 352 "tar xfp" from /. Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, 353 those programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced. If 354 you follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, this will be 355 taken care of for you. 356 >>>>>>> 1.8 357
