1 $NetBSD: contents,v 1.5 1999/02/20 16:18:10 scw 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 24 mvme68k kernels 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 completely "bare" MVME147 and MVME167 boards. 31 The files 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 the 1x7-Bug ROM to boot from tape. This 42 is the 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 MVME147 serial boot program. 48 This is necessary if you don't have a tape 49 drive, but you _do_ have another system which 50 can act as a boot and NFS server. This is also 51 useful if you are installing a diskless 52 NetBSD/MVME147 system. 53 54 netboot A copy of the network boot program. Used 55 in conjunction with sboot on the MVME147 to get 56 your system booted over a network. The MVME167 57 can boot this directly using 167Bug's builtin 58 TFTP client. 59 60 These files can be used to make a boot tape suitable for installing 61 NetBSD/mvme68k. These files can also be used to configure an NFS server 62 to support installation "over the network". See the section "Getting 63 the NetBSD System onto Useful Media" for instructions on either method. 64 65 .../mvme68k/binary/sets 66 67 The NetBSD/mvme68k binary distribution sets contain the binaries which 68 comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the MVME1x7 series of boards. There 69 are seven binary distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. 70 The binary distribution sets are as follows: 71 72 base The NetBSD/mvme68k _VER base binary distribution. You 73 MUST install this distribution set. It contains the 74 base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the 75 system to run and be minimally functional. It includes 76 shared library support, and excludes everything 77 described below. 78 [ 9.2M gzipped, 26.5M uncompressed ] 79 80 comp The NetBSD/mvme68k Compiler tools. All of the tools 81 relating to C and C++. This set includes the system 82 include files (/usr/include), the linker, the compiler 83 tool chain, and the various system libraries (except 84 the shared libraries, which are included as part of the 85 base set). This set also includes the manual pages for 86 all of the utilities it contains, as well as the system 87 call and library manual pages. 88 [ 6.9M gzipped, 24.1M uncompressed ] 89 90 etc This distribution set contains the system configuration 91 files that reside in /etc and in several other places. 92 This set MUST be installed if you are installing the 93 system from scratch, but should NOT be used if you are 94 upgrading. (If you are upgrading, it's recommended that 95 you get a copy of this set and CAREFULLY upgrade your 96 configuration files by hand.) 97 [ 53K gzipped, 327K uncompressed ] 98 99 games This set includes the games and their manual pages. 100 [ 2.9M gzipped, 7.5M uncompressed ] 101 102 man This set includes all of the manual pages for the 103 binaries and other software contained in the base set. 104 Note that it does not include any of the manual pages 105 that are included in the other sets. 106 [ 2.5K gzipped, 10.3M uncompressed ] 107 108 misc This set includes the system dictionaries (which are 109 rather large), the typesettable document set, and 110 man pages for other architectures which happen to be 111 installed from the source tree by default. 112 [ 2.3M gzipped, 8.7M uncompressed ] 113 114 text This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools, 115 including groff, all related programs, and their 116 manual pages. 117 [ 1.0M gzipped, 3.9M uncompressed ] 118 119 .../mvme68k/security/ 120 121 The mvme68k security distribution set is named "secr" and can be found 122 in the "mvme68k/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution 123 tree. It contains executables which are built in the "src/domestic" portion 124 of the NetBSD source tree. It can only be found on those sites which carry 125 the complete NetBSD distribution and that can legally obtain it. (Remember, 126 because of United States law, it may not be legal to distribute this set to 127 locations outside of the United States and Canada.) 128 [ 128K gzipped, 275K uncompressed ] 129 130 .../mvme68k/kernel/ 131 132 The mvme68k kernel directory contains a gzip'ed kernel image which is 133 compatible with both MVME147 and MVME167 boards. This should be used when 134 upgrading from a previous version of NetBSD. Before starting the upgrade, 135 you should unzip and copy this kernel in place of your existing /netbsd 136 image, then reboot. 137 138 The mvme68k binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files. 139 Each mvme68k binary distribution set also has its own "CKSUMS" file, just 140 as the source distribution sets do. 141 142 The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally 143 well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that 144 method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory. That 145 is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e. 146 replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the command: 147 148 pax -zrvpe -f set.tar.gz 149 150 while in the root directory of your system (/). 151 152 For best results, it is recommended that you follow the installation 153 and/or upgrade procedures documented in this file. 154
