prep revision 1.1
      1  1.1  scw mvme68k machines usually need little or no preparation before installing
      2  1.1  scw NetBSD, other than the usual, well advised precaution of BACKING UP
      3  1.1  scw ALL DATA on any attached storage devices.
      4  1.1  scw 
      5  1.1  scw The following instructions should make your machine "NetBSD Ready".
      6  1.1  scw 
      7  1.1  scw Power-up your VME147. You should have the "bug" prompt:
      8  1.1  scw 
      9  1.1  scw         COLD Start
     10  1.1  scw 
     11  1.1  scw         Onboard  RAM start = $00000000,  stop = $007FFFFF
     12  1.1  scw 
     13  1.1  scw         147-Bug>
     14  1.1  scw 
     15  1.1  scw Make sure the value for "stop" looks ok (if you've got 8MB you should
     16  1.1  scw have the same value as I do). Also make sure the clock is ticking:
     17  1.1  scw 
     18  1.1  scw         147-Bug>time
     19  1.1  scw         Sunday   12/21/29   16:25:14
     20  1.1  scw         147-Bug>time
     21  1.1  scw         Sunday   12/21/29   16:25:15
     22  1.1  scw         147-Bug>
     23  1.1  scw 
     24  1.1  scw Note that NetBSD bases it's year at 1968, and adds the year offset in
     25  1.1  scw the VME147's real-time clock to get the current year. So the '29' here
     26  1.1  scw equates to 1997. You may have to adjust your clock using the 'set'
     27  1.1  scw command to comply with NetBSD's requirements. Don't worry if the
     28  1.1  scw "Day of the week" is not correct, NetBSD doesn't use it. (Actually,
     29  1.1  scw Motorola have acknowledged a year 2000 bug whereby the day of the week
     30  1.1  scw doesn't get set correctly by the 147Bug PROM. IT DOES NOT AFFECT NETBSD!)
     31  1.1  scw 
     32  1.1  scw Also make sure that your VME147's ethernet address is initialised to
     33  1.1  scw the correct value. You'll find the address on a label on the inside of
     34  1.1  scw the board's front panel. Enter the last five digits of the address
     35  1.1  scw using the 'lsad' command.
     36  1.1  scw 
     37  1.1  scw To install successfully to a local SCSI disk, you need to ensure that
     38  1.1  scw 147Bug is aware of what targets are connected to the SCSI bus. This
     39  1.1  scw can be done by issueing the following command:
     40  1.1  scw 
     41  1.1  scw -->     147-Bug> iot;t
     42  1.1  scw 
     43  1.1  scw At this point, 147Bug will scan for any attached SCSI devices. After
     44  1.1  scw a short delay, a list of SCSI devices will be displayed. You will be
     45  1.1  scw asked if Bug should assign LUNs to SCSI ids, to which you should
     46  1.1  scw answer Y. You should also answer Y when asked if the information is
     47  1.1  scw to be saved to NVRAM.
     48  1.1  scw 
     49  1.1  scw The following installation instructions will assume that your target
     50  1.1  scw SCSI disk drive appears at SCSI-id 0. If you have a tape drive, the
     51  1.1  scw instructions assume is is configured for SCSI-id 5. When the RAMDISK
     52  1.1  scw root boots, NetBSD will refer to these devices as 'sd0' and 'rst0'
     53  1.1  scw respectively. You may wish to note these down; you'll be using them
     54  1.1  scw a lot. :-)
