1 $NetBSD: contents,v 1.4 1999/01/25 23:34:23 garbled Exp $ 2 3 The mvme68k-specific portion of the NetBSD _VER release is found in the 4 "mvme68k" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid 5 out as follows: 6 7 .../NetBSD-_VER/mvme68k/ 8 INSTALL Installation notes; this file. 9 10 installation/ Boot programs, a stand-alone 11 RAMDISK kernel, and a miniroot 12 filesystem image. see below. 13 14 binary/ mvme68k binary distribution sets; 15 see below. 16 17 security/ mvme68k security distribution; 18 see below. 19 20 .../mvme68k/installation/ 21 miniroot/ The miniroot filesystem image. 22 23 netboot/ Two programs needed to boot a 24 VME147 kernel over the network. 25 26 tapeimage/ Tape boot programs, and a RAMDISK 27 kernel. 28 29 The NetBSD/mvme68k install distribution contains files that can be 30 used to install NetBSD onto a completely "bare" VME147. The files 31 in the "mvme68k/installation/*" directories are described below: 32 33 miniroot.gz A gzipped copy of the miniroot filesystem. 34 This image is to be un-gzipped and copied 35 into the swap area of a disk. 36 37 netbsd-rd.gz A gzipped copy of the "RAMDISK kernel" 38 for installing the miniroot filesystem. 39 40 stboot A tape boot-block, in the form required to 41 allow 147-Bug to boot from tape. This is the 42 first segment of a boot tape. 43 44 bootst A copy of the tape boot program, used 45 as the second segment of a boot tape. 46 47 sboot A copy of the serial boot program. This is 48 necessary if you don't have a tape drive, 49 but you _do_ have another system which can 50 act as a boot and NFS server. This is also 51 useful if you are installing a diskless 52 NetBSD/mvme68k system. 53 54 netboot A copy of the network boot program. Used 55 in conjunction with sboot to get your system 56 booted over a network. 57 58 These files can be used to make a boot tape suitable for installing 59 NetBSD/mvme68k. These files can also be used to configure an NFS server 60 to support installation "over the network". See the section "Getting 61 the NetBSD System onto Useful Media" for instructions on either method. 62 63 .../mvme68k/binary/sets 64 65 The NetBSD/mvme68k binary distribution sets contain the binaries which 66 comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the VME147. There are seven binary 67 distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary 68 distribution sets are as follows: 69 70 base The NetBSD/mvme68k _VER base binary distribution. You 71 MUST install this distribution set. It contains the 72 base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the 73 system to run and be minimally functional. It includes 74 shared library support, and excludes everything 75 described below. 76 [ 9.2M gzipped, 26.5M uncompressed ] 77 78 comp The NetBSD/mvme68k Compiler tools. All of the tools 79 relating to C and C++. This set includes the system 80 include files (/usr/include), the linker, the compiler 81 tool chain, and the various system libraries (except 82 the shared libraries, which are included as part of the 83 base set). This set also includes the manual pages for 84 all of the utilities it contains, as well as the system 85 call and library manual pages. 86 [ 6.9M gzipped, 24.1M uncompressed ] 87 88 etc This distribution set contains the system configuration 89 files that reside in /etc and in several other places. 90 This set MUST be installed if you are installing the 91 system from scratch, but should NOT be used if you are 92 upgrading. (If you are upgrading, it's recommended that 93 you get a copy of this set and CAREFULLY upgrade your 94 configuration files by hand.) 95 [ 53K gzipped, 327K uncompressed ] 96 97 games This set includes the games and their manual pages. 98 [ 2.9M gzipped, 7.5M uncompressed ] 99 100 man This set includes all of the manual pages for the 101 binaries and other software contained in the base set. 102 Note that it does not include any of the manual pages 103 that are included in the other sets. 104 [ 2.5K gzipped, 10.3M uncompressed ] 105 106 misc This set includes the system dictionaries (which are 107 rather large), the typesettable document set, and 108 man pages for other architectures which happen to be 109 installed from the source tree by default. 110 [ 2.3M gzipped, 8.7M uncompressed ] 111 112 text This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools, 113 including groff, all related programs, and their 114 manual pages. 115 [ 1.0M gzipped, 3.9M uncompressed ] 116 117 .../mvme68k/security/ 118 119 The mvme68k security distribution set is named "secr" and can be found 120 in the "mvme68k/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution 121 tree. It contains executables which are built in the "src/domestic" portion 122 of the NetBSD source tree. It can only be found on those sites which carry 123 the complete NetBSD distribution and that can legally obtain it. (Remember, 124 because of United States law, it may not be legal to distribute this set to 125 locations outside of the United States and Canada.) 126 [ 128K gzipped, 275K uncompressed ] 127 128 .../mvme68k/kernel/ 129 130 The mvme68k kernel directory contains a gzip'ed VME147 specific kernel 131 image. This should be used when upgrading from a previous version of 132 NetBSD. Before starting the upgrade, you should unzip and copy this 133 kernel in place of your existing /netbsd image, then reboot. 134 135 The mvme68k binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files. 136 Each mvme68k binary distribution set also has its own "CKSUMS" file, just 137 as the source distribution sets do. 138 139 The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally 140 well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that 141 method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory. That 142 is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e. 143 replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the command: 144 145 pax -zrvpe -f set.tar.gz 146 147 from /. 148 149 For best results, it is recommended that you follow the installation 150 and/or upgrade procedures documented in this file. 151
