DESCRIPTION
About this Document
This document describes the installation procedure for
NetBSD 9.4 on the amiga platform. It is available in four
different formats titled INSTALL.ext, where .ext is one of
.ps, .html, .more, or .txt:
.ps PostScript.
.html Standard Internet HTML.
.more The enhanced text format used on UNIX-like
systems by the more(1) and less(1) pager util-
ity programs. This is the format in which the
on-line man pages are generally presented.
.txt Plain old ASCII.
You are reading the ASCII version.
What is NetBSD?
The NetBSD Operating System is a fully functional Open
Source UNIX-like operating system derived from the Univer-
sity of California, Berkeley Networking Release 2 (Net/2),
4.4BSD-Lite, and 4.4BSD-Lite2 sources. NetBSD runs on many
different different system architectures (ports) across a
variety of distinct CPU families, and is being ported to
more. The NetBSD 9.4 release contains complete binary
releases for most of these system architectures, with pre-
liminary support for the others included in source form.
Please see the NetBSD website:
https://www.NetBSD.org/ for
information on them.
NetBSD is a completely integrated system. In addition to
its highly portable, high performance kernel, NetBSD fea-
tures a complete set of user utilities, compilers for sev-
eral languages, the X Window System, firewall software and
numerous other tools, all accompanied by full source code.
NetBSD is a creation of the members of the Internet commu-
nity. Without the unique cooperation and coordination the
net makes possible, NetBSD would not exist.
Dedication
NetBSD 9.4 is dedicated to the memory of Wayne Knowles, who
passed away in December 2022.
Wayne was a long term contributor, working mostly on low
level Mips code.
Beyond his technical contributions, Wayne was always helpful
and friendly. His example encouraged users to contribute to
the project and share their work with the community.
Changes Between The NetBSD 8 and 9 Releases
The NetBSD 9.4 release provides many significant changes,
including support for many new devices, hundreds of bug
fixes, new and updated kernel subsystems, and numerous user-
land enhancements. The result of these improvements is a
stable operating system fit for production use that rivals
most commercially available systems.
It is impossible to completely summarize the massive devel-
opment that went into the NetBSD 9.4 release. The complete
list of changes can be found in the following files:

tree.
Installation and Partitioning Changes
The sysinst installation program has been reworked for this
release.
It now supports arbitrary big disks and offers GPT parti-
tions as alternative to MBR/fdisk partitions on a lot archi-
tectures.
Unfortunately it has not been tested on all hardware sup-
ported by NetBSD. If you have problems partitioning the
target disk or installing the system, please report bugs
with as much details as possible. See the Administrivia
section below on how to report bugs or contact other users
and ask for support.
Features to be removed in a later release
The following features are to be removed from NetBSD in the
future:
o groff(1). Man pages are now handled with mandoc(1), and
groff(1) can still be found in pkgsrc as textproc/groff.
The NetBSD Foundation
The NetBSD Foundation is a tax exempt, not-for-profit
501(c)(3) corporation that devotes itself to the traditional
goals and Spirit of the NetBSD Project and owns the trade-
mark of the word ``NetBSD''. It supports the design, devel-
opment, and adoption of NetBSD worldwide. More information

images/ Images (ISO 9660 or USB) for installing
NetBSD. Depending on your system, these may
be bootable.
source/ Source distribution sets; see below.
In addition to the files and directories listed above, there
is one directory per architecture, for each of the architec-
tures for which NetBSD 9.4 has a binary distribution.
The source distribution sets can be found in subdirectories
of the source subdirectory of the distribution tree. They
contain the complete sources to the system. The source dis-
tribution sets are as follows:
gnusrc This set contains the ``gnu'' sources, including
the source for the compiler, assembler, groff, and
the other GNU utilities in the binary distribution
sets.
sharesrc This set contains the ``share'' sources, which
include the sources for the man pages not associ-
ated with any particular program; the sources for
the typesettable document set; the dictionaries;
and more.
src This set contains all of the base NetBSD 9.4
sources which are not in gnusrc, sharesrc, or
syssrc.
syssrc This set contains the sources to the NetBSD 9.4
kernel for all architectures as well as the
config(1) utility.
xsrc This set contains the sources to the X Window Sys-
tem.
All the above source sets are located in the source/sets
subdirectory of the distribution tree.
The source sets are distributed as compressed tar files.
Except for the pkgsrc set, which is traditionally unpacked
into /usr/pkgsrc, all sets may be unpacked into /usr/src
with the command:
# cd / ; tar -zxpf set_name.tgz
In each of the source distribution set directories, there
are files which contain the checksums of the files in the
directory:
MD5 MD5 digests in the format produced by the com-
mand:
cksum -a MD5 file.
SHA512 SHA512 digests in the format produced by the
command:
cksum -a SHA512 file.
The SHA512 digest is safer, but MD5 checksums are provided
so that a wider range of operating systems can check the
integrity of the release files.
NetBSD/amiga subdirectory structure
The amiga-specific portion of the NetBSD 9.4 release is
found in the amiga subdirectory of the distribution:
.../NetBSD-9.4/amiga/. It contains the following files and
directories:
INSTALL.html
INSTALL.ps
INSTALL.txt
INSTALL.more Installation notes in various file formats,
including this file. The .more file contains
underlined text using the more(1) conventions
for indicating italic and bold display.

pies; see below.
miniroot/ amiga miniroot file system image;

misc/ Miscellaneous amiga installation

Miniroot file system
The Amiga now uses a single miniroot file system for both an
initial installation and for an upgrade. A gzipped version
is available, for easier downloading. (The gzipped version
has the .gz extension added to their names.)
miniroot.fs This file contains a BSD root file system setup
to help you install the rest of NetBSD or to
upgrade a previous version of NetBSD. This
includes formatting and mounting your / (root)
and /usr partitions and getting ready to
extract (and possibly first fetching) the dis-
tribution sets. There is enough on this file
system to allow you to make a SLIP or PPP con-
nection, configure an Ethernet, mount an NFS
file system or ftp. You can also load distri-
bution sets from a SCSI tape or from one of
your existing AmigaDOS partitions.
Binary distribution sets
The NetBSD amiga binary distribution sets contain the bina-
ries which comprise the NetBSD 9.4 release for amiga. The
binary distribution sets can be found in the
amiga/binary/sets subdirectory of the NetBSD 9.4 distribu-
tion tree, and are as follows:
base The NetBSD 9.4 amiga base binary distribution. You
must install this distribution set. It contains
the base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for
the system to run and be minimally functional.
comp Things needed for compiling programs. This set
includes the system include files (/usr/include)
and the various system libraries (except the shared
libraries, which are included as part of the base
set). This set also includes the manual pages for
all of the utilities it contains, as well as the
system call and library manual pages.
debug This distribution set contains debug information
for all base system utilities. It is useful when
reporting issues with binaries or during develope-
ment. This set is huge, if the target disk is
small, do not install it.
etc This distribution set contains the system configu-
ration files that reside in /etc and in several
other places. This set must be installed if you
are installing the system from scratch, but should
not be used if you are upgrading.
games This set includes the games and their manual pages.
kern-GENERIC
This set contains a NetBSD/amiga 9.4 GENERIC ker-
nel, named /netbsd. You must install this distri-
bution set.
man This set includes all of the manual pages for the
binaries and other software contained in the base
set. Note that it does not include any of the man-
ual pages that are included in the other sets.
misc This set includes the system dictionaries, the
typesettable document set, and other files from
/usr/share.
modules This set includes kernel modules to add functional-
ity to a running system.
rescue This set includes the statically linked emergency
recover binaries installed in /rescue.
text This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
including groff(1), all related programs, and their
manual pages.
NetBSD maintains its own set of sources for the X Window
System in order to assure tight integration and compatibil-
ity. These sources are based on XFree86 4.5.0. Binary sets
for the X Window System are distributed with NetBSD. The
sets are:
xbase The basic files needed for a complete X client
environment. This does not include the X servers.
xcomp The extra libraries and include files needed to
compile X source code.
xdebug This distribution set contains debug information
for all X11 binaries. It is useful when reporting
issues with these binaries or during developement.
This set is huge, if the target disk is small, do
not install it.
xfont Fonts needed by the X server and by X clients.
xetc Configuration files for X which could be locally
modified.
xserver The X server.
The amiga binary distribution sets are distributed as
gzipped tar files named with the extension .tgz, e.g.
base.tgz.
The instructions given for extracting the source sets work
equally well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting
that if you use that method, the filenames stored in the
sets are relative and therefore the files are extracted
below the current directory. Therefore, if you want to
extract the binaries into your system, i.e. replace the
system binaries with them, you have to run the tar -xzpf
command from the root directory ( / ) of your system.
Note: Each directory in the amiga binary distribution also
has its own checksum files, just as the source dis-
tribution does.
NetBSD/amiga System Requirements and Supported Devices
NetBSD 9.4 runs on any Amiga that has a 68020 or better CPU
with some form of MMU, and on 68060 DraCos.
NetBSD does not, and will never, run on run on A1000, A500,
A600, A1200, A2000, A4000/EC030, CDTV and CD32 systems that
are not enhanced by a CPU board.
For 68020 and 68030 systems, a FPU is recommended but not
required for the system utilities. 68LC040, 68040V and
68LC060 systems don't work correctly at the moment.
The minimal configuration requires around 24 MB of RAM (not
including CHIPMEM!) and about 250 MB of disk space. To
install the entire system requires much more disk space, and
to run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended.
(24 MB of RAM will actually allow you to compile, however it
won't be speedy. X really isn't usable on a 24 MB system.)
You will probably want to compile your own kernel. GENERIC
is large and bulky in order to accommodate all people. For
example, most people's machines have an FPU, so you do not
need the bulky FPU_EMULATE option.
If you have less than 8 MB of fast memory, you should make
your swap partition large, as your system will be a lot of
swapping. In addition, do not place your swap partition
onto a old small (and normally slow) disk!

Blizzard III SCSI option, Ferret SCSI, Oktagon SCSI.
Getting the NetBSD System on to Useful Media
Installation is supported from several media types, includ-
ing:
o AmigaDOS
o CD-ROM / DVD / USB-stick
o FTP
o Remote NFS partition
o Tape
o Existing NetBSD partitions, if performing an
upgrade
The steps necessary to prepare the distribution sets for
installation depend upon which installation medium you
choose. The steps for the various media are outlined below.
AmigaDOS partition To install NetBSD from an AmigaDOS
partition, you need to get the
NetBSD distribution sets you wish
to install on your system on to an
AmigaDOS partition.
Note where you place the files as
you will need this later.
Once you have done this, you can
proceed to the next step in the
installation process, preparing
your hard disk.
CD-ROM / DVD / USB-stick To install NetBSD from a CD-ROM
drive, make sure it is a SCSI CD-
ROM on a SCSI bus currently sup-
ported by NetBSD (refer to the
supported hardware list) or an
ATAPI CD-ROM connected to the
A1200 or A4000 internal IDE con-
nector. If it is a SCSI CD-ROM on
a non-supported SCSI bus like
Blizzard-3 SCSI or Apollo SCSI you
must first copy the distribution
sets to an AmigaDOS partition as
described above.
If your SCSI CD-ROM is connected
to a supported SCSI host adapter,
or it is an ATAPI cd-rom connected
to the A1200/A4000 internal IDE
connector, simply put the CD into
the drive before installation.
Find out where the distribution
set files are on the CD-ROM, DVD
or USB stick. Likely locations
are binary/sets and
amiga/binary/sets. (You only need
to know this if you are mixing
installer and installation media
from different versions - the
installer will know the proper
default location for the sets it
comes with).
Proceed to the instructions on
installation.
FTP The preparations for this instal-
lation/upgrade method are easy;
all you need to do is make sure
that there's an FTP site from
which you can retrieve the NetBSD
distribution when you're about to
install or upgrade. If you don't
have DHCP available on your net-
work, you will need to know the
numeric IP address of that site,
and, if it's not on a network
directly connected to the machine
on which you're installing or
upgrading NetBSD, you need to know
the numeric IP address of the
router closest to the NetBSD
machine. Finally, you need to
know the numeric IP address of the
NetBSD machine itself.
Once you have this information,
you can proceed to the next step
in the installation or upgrade
process. If you're installing
NetBSD from scratch, go to the
section on preparing your hard
disk, below. If you're upgrading
an existing installation, go
directly to the section on upgrad-
ing.
NFS Place the NetBSD distribution sets
you wish to install into a direc-
tory on an NFS server, and make
that directory mountable by the
machine on which you are
installing or upgrading NetBSD.
This will probably require modify-
ing the /etc/exports file on the
NFS server and resetting its mount
daemon (mountd). (Both of these
actions will probably require
superuser privileges on the
server.)
You need to know the numeric IP
address of the NFS server, and, if
you don't have DHCP available on
your network and the server is not
on a network directly connected to
the machine on which you're
installing or upgrading NetBSD,
you need to know the numeric IP
address of the router closest to
the NetBSD machine. Finally, you
need to know the numeric IP
address of the NetBSD machine
itself.
Once the NFS server is set up
properly and you have the informa-
tion mentioned above, you can pro-
ceed to the next step in the
installation or upgrade process.
If you're installing NetBSD from
scratch, go to the section on pre-
paring your hard disk, below. If
you're upgrading an existing
installation, go directly to the
section on upgrading.
Tape To install NetBSD from a tape, you
need to make a tape that contains
the distribution set files, in
`tar' format.
If you're making the tape on a
UNIX-like system, the easiest way
to do so is probably something
like:
# tar -cf tape_device
dist_sets
where tape_device is the name of
the tape device that represents
the tape drive you're using. This
might be /dev/rst0, or something
similar, but it will vary from
system to system. In the above
example, dist_sets is a list of
filenames corresponding to the
distribution sets that you wish to
place on the tape. For instance,
to put the kern-GENERIC, base, and
etc distributions on tape (the
absolute minimum required for
installation), you would do the
following:
# cd .../NetBSD-9.4
# cd amiga/binary
# tar -cf tape_device
kern-GENERIC.tgz base.tgz
etc.tgz
Note: You still need to fill in
tape_device in the example.
Once you have the files on the
tape, you can proceed to the next
step in the installation or
upgrade process. If you're
installing NetBSD from scratch, go
to the section on preparing your
hard disk, below. If you're
upgrading an existing installa-
tion, go directly to the section
on upgrading.
Preparing your System for NetBSD installation
You will need an AmigaDOS hard drive prep tool to prepare
your hard drives for use with NetBSD/amiga. HDToolBox is
provided with the system software and on floppy installation
disks since Release 2.0 of AmigaDOS, so we will provide
instructions for its use.
Note that NetBSD can't currently be installed on disks with
a sector size other than 512 bytes (e.g., ``640 MB'' 90mm M-
O media). You can, however, mount ADOSFS partitions on such
M-O's.
Preparing your hard disk with HDToolBox
A full explanation of HDToolBox can be found with your
AmigaDOS manuals and is beyond the scope of this document.
The first time you partition a drive, you need to set its
drive type so that you have working geometry parameters. To
do this you enter the ``Change drive type'' menu, and either
use ``read parameters from drive'' or set them manually.
Note that you will be modifying your HD's. If you mess
something up here you could lose everything on all the
drives that you configure. It is therefore advised that
you:
1. Write down your current configurations. Do this
by examining each partition on the drive and the
drives parameters (from Change drive type.)
2. Back up the partitions you are keeping.
What you need to do now is partition your drives, creating
at least root and swap partitions.
This should be done as the HDToolBox manual describes. One
thing to note is that if you are not using a Commodore con-
troller you will need to specify the device your SCSI con-
troller uses, e.g., if you have a Warp Engine you would:
From cli
hdtoolbox warpdrive.device
From wb Set the tooltype
SCSI_DEVICE_NAME=warpdrive.device
The important things you need to do above and beyond normal
partitioning include (from Partition Drive section):
1. Marking all NetBSD partitions as non-bootable, with two
exceptions: the root partition (/) if you want to boot
NetBSD directly, or the swap partition if you want to
boot the installation miniroot directly.
2. Changing the file system parameters of the partitions
to NetBSD ones. This must be done from the partition-
ing section and ``Advanced options'' must be enabled.
To make the needed changes:
1. Click the ``Adv. Options'' button
2. Click the ``Change file system'' button
3. Choose ``Custom File System''
4. Turn off ``Automount'' if on.
5. Set the dostype to one of these three choices:
root partition : 0x4e425207 (NBR\007)
swap partition : 0x4e425301 (NBS\001)
other partitions: 0x4e425507 (NBU\007)
Here `other' refers to other partitions you will
format for reading and writing under NetBSD
(e.g., /usr)
Make sure you press RETURN to enter this value as
some versions of HDToolBox will forget your entry
if you don't.
6. Turn custom boot code off
7. Set Reserved Blocks start and end to 0.
8. Click Ok.
On the root (/) (and, for installation, swap) partition:
1. Turn custom boot code on
2. Set Reserved Blocks start and end to 0.
3. Set Number of Custom Boot Blocks to 16.
4. Set Automount This Partition on
5. Click Ok.
Mask and maxtransfer are not used with NetBSD.
Caveat: The swap (for installation) and the root partition
(if you plan to use the bootblocks) must be within
the first 4 gigabytes of the disk! The reason for
the former is that xstreamtodev uses track-
disk.device compatible I/O-calls, the reason for
the latter is that the bootblock gets a 32bit par-
tition offset from the operating system.
Once this is done NetBSD/amiga will be able to recognize
your disks and which partitions it should use.
Transferring the miniroot file system
The NetBSD/amiga installation or upgrade now uses a miniroot
file system which is installed on the partition used by
NetBSD for swapping. This removes the requirement of using
a floppy disk for the file system used by the installation
or upgrade process. It also allows more utilities to be
present on the file system than would be available when
using an 880 KB floppy disk.
Once the hard disk has been prepared for NetBSD, the mini-
root file system (miniroot.fs) is transferred to the swap
partition configured during the hard disk prep (or the
existing swap partition in the case of an upgrade). The
xstreamtodev utility provided in the amiga/installation/misc
directory can be used on AmigaDOS to transfer the file sys-
tem for either a new installation or an upgrade. The file
system can also be transferred on an existing NetBSD system
for an update by using dd. This should only be done after
booting NetBSD into single-user mode. It may also be possi-
ble to shutdown to single-user, providing that the single-
user mode processes are not using the swap partition.
On AmigaDOS, run the command:
xstreamtodev --input=miniroot.fs --rdb-name=<swap
partition>
where <swap partition> is the name you gave to the NetBSD
partition to be used for swapping. If xstreamtodev is
unable to determine the SCSI driver device name or the unit
number of the specified partition, you may also need to
include the option
--device=<driver.name>
and/or
--unit=<SCSI unit number>
To transfer the miniroot using NetBSD, you should be booted
up in single user mode on the current NetBSD system, or use
the shutdown now command to shutdown to single-user mode.
Then copy the miniroot using dd:
dd if=miniroot.fs of=/dev/rsd0b
where /dev/rsd0b should be the device path of the swap par-
tition your system is configured to use. Once the file is
copied, reboot back to AmigaDOS to boot the upgrade kernel.
Caveat: Once you have started installation, if you abort it
and want to retry you must reinstall the
miniroot.fs on the swap partition.
Installing the NetBSD System
Installing NetBSD is a relatively complex process, but, if
you have this document in hand and are careful to read and
remember the information which is presented to you by the
install program, it shouldn't be too much trouble.
Before you begin, you must have already prepared your hard
disk as detailed in the section on preparing your system for
install.
The following is a walk-through of the steps necessary to
get NetBSD installed on your hard disk. If you wish to stop
the installation, you may press CONTROL-C at any prompt, but
if you do, you'll have to begin again from scratch.
Transfer the miniroot file system onto the hard disk parti-
tion used by NetBSD for swapping, as described in the "Pre-
paring your System for NetBSD Installation" section above.
Booting
NetBSD, with boot blocks installed
[This description is for V40 (OS 3.1) ROMs. For older ROMs,
there might be small differences. Check your AmigaDOS docu-
mentation to learn about the exact procedure.] Using boot-
blocks may not work on some systems, and may require a
mountable file system on others.
Reboot your machine, holding down both mouse buttons if you
have a 2-button mouse, the outer mouse buttons if you have a
3-button mouse. On the DraCo, press the left mouse button
instead, when the boot screen prompts you for it.
From the boot menu, select Boot Options. Select the swap
partition with the miniroot, and then ok. Select Boot now.
The machine will boot the bootblock, which will prompt your
for a command line. You have a few seconds time to change
the default. Entering an empty line will accept the
default.
The bootblock uses command lines of the form:
file [options]
where file is the kernel file name on the partition where
the boot block is on, and [options] may contain the follow-
ing:
If you have an AGA machine, and your monitor will handle the
dblNTSC mode, you may include the -A option to enable the
dblNTSC display mode.
If your machine has a fragmented physical memory space, as,
e.g., DraCo machines, you should add the -n2 option to
enable the use of all memory segments.
Once your kernel boots
You should see the screen clear and some information about
your system as the kernel configures the hardware. Note
which hard disk device(s) are configured (sd0, sd1, etc.)
Then you will be prompted for a root device. At this time
type sd0b, where sd0 is the device which contains the swap
partition you created during the hard disk preparation.
When prompted for a dump device, answer `none' for the
install (normally, you would tell it one of the swap
devices). When prompted for the root file system type, con-
firm `generic', which will auto-detect it.
If the system should hang after entering the root device,
try again with
netbsd -I ff -b
This disables synchronous transfer on all SCSI devices on
the first bus.
The system should continue to boot. For now ignore
``WARNING'' messages about bad dates in clocks, and a warn-
ing about /etc/rc not existing. Eventually you will be be
asked to enter the pathname of the shell, just press RETURN.
After a short while, you will be asked to select the type of
your keyboard. After you have entered a valid response
here, the system asks you if you want to install or upgrade
your system. Since you are reading the install section, `i'
would be the proper response here...
The installer starts with a nice welcome messages. Read
this message carefully, it also informs you of the risks
involved in continuing! If you still want to go on, type
`y'. The installer now continues by trying to figure out
your disk configuration. When it is done, you will be
prompted to select a root device from the list of disks it
has found.
You should know at this point that the disks are not num-
bered according to their SCSI-ID! The NetBSD kernel numbers
the SCSI drives (and other devices on the SCSI bus) sequen-
tially as it finds them. The drive with the lowest SCSI-ID
will be called sd0, the next one sd1, etc. Also, any ATAPI
disk drives (e.g. ZIP) will be configured as ``SCSI''
drives, too, and will be configured before any `real' SCSI
drives if connected to the Amiga internal port on
A4000/A1200 (if any are present). Real IDE drives will be
configured as wd0, wd1, etc.
The installer will offer you to look at the NetBSD disk
label of the disks at this point. You should do this, to
find out what partition letters the NetBSD kernel assigned
to the partitions you created, and as a check of whether the
disk number you are going to use is right.
you are now at the point of no return. If you confirm that
you want to install NetBSD, your hard drive will be modi-
fied, and perhaps its contents scrambled at the whim of the
install program. Type Control-C now if you don't want this.
At this time, you will need to tell the installer which par-
tition will be associated with the different file systems.
Normally, you'll want to add a partition for /usr, at least.
Caveat: Do not use the rsdNc or sdNc partitions for any-
thing! They are for access to the whole disk only
and do not correspond to any Amiga partition!
The install program will now make the file systems you spec-
ified. There should be only one error per file system in
this section of the installation. It will look like this:
newfs: ioctl (WDINFO): Invalid argument
newfs: /dev/rsd0a: can't rewrite disk label
If there are any others, restart from the beginning of the
installation process. This error is ok as the Amiga does
not write disklabels currently. You should expect this
error whenever using newfs.
The install will now ask you want to configure any network
information. It will ask for the machine's host name,
domain name, and other network configuration information.
Since the network configuration might have lead to addi-
tional (NFS) file system entries, you get another chance to
modify your fstab.
You are finally at the point where some real data will be
put on your freshly made file systems. Select the device
type you wish to install from and off you go....
Some notes:
o If you want to install from tape, please read the
section about how to create such a tape.
o Some tapes (e.g. Archive Viper 150) refuse to
operate with the default tape density (nrst0).
Try nrst0h, nrst0m, or nrst0l instead.
o Install at least the base and etc sets.
o If you have to specify a path relative to the
mount-point and you need the mount-point itself,
use `.'.
Next you will be asked to specify the timezone. Just select
the timezone you are in. The installer will make the cor-
rect setup on your root file system (/). After the time-
zone-link is installed, the installer will proceed by creat-
ing the device nodes on your root file system under /dev.
Be patient, this will take a while...
Next, the installer will copy your keymap settings to the
new system. After this, it will copy the kernel from the
installation miniroot to the newly installed / upgraded sys-
tem. If the installed system already has a kernel, it will
ask you for confirmation.
kern.tgz distribution set, this is an old kernel, and you
should answer "y" to install a working (although restricted)
INSTALL kernel.
If you did install the kern.tgz kernel, you normally should
answer "n".
Finally, the installer asks you if you want to install the
bootblock code on your root disk and, if yes, what boot com-
mand it should execute. This is a matter of personal choice
and can also be done from a running NetBSD system. See the
installboot(8) manual page about how to do this.
Once the installer is done, halt the system with the halt
command (wait for halted to be displayed) and reboot. Then
again boot NetBSD this time selecting the root partition (/)
from the boot menu, and tell it to boot
netbsd -s
You need to do your final tweaks now. First mount your file
systems like so:
mount -av
Your system is now complete, and it is up to you to config-
ure the rest. You may want to start by looking at
/etc/rc.conf.
Once you are done with the rest of configuration unmount
your file systems and halt your system, then reboot:
# cd /
# umount -av
# halt
Finally you can now boot your system and it will be com-
pletely functional:
netbsd
When it boots off of the hard drive, you will have a com-
plete NetBSD system! Congratulations! (You really deserve
them!!!)
Post installation steps
Once you've got the operating system running, there are a
few things you need to do in order to bring the system into
a properly configured state. The most important steps are
described below.
1. Before all else, read postinstall(8).
2. Configuring /etc/rc.conf
If you or the installation software haven't done any
configuration of /etc/rc.conf (sysinst normally will),
the system will drop you into single user mode on first
reboot with the message
/etc/rc.conf is not configured. Multiuser boot
aborted.
and with the root file system (/) mounted read-only.
When the system asks you to choose a shell, simply
press RETURN to get to a /bin/sh prompt. If you are
asked for a terminal type, respond with vt220 (or what-
ever is appropriate for your terminal type) and press
RETURN. You may need to type one of the following com-
mands to get your delete key to work properly, depend-
ing on your keyboard:
# stty erase '^h'
# stty erase '^?'
At this point, you need to configure at least one file
in the /etc directory. You will need to mount your
root file system read/write with:
# /sbin/mount -u -w /
Change to the /etc directory and take a look at the
/etc/rc.conf file. Modify it to your tastes, making
sure that you set rc_configured=YES so that your
changes will be enabled and a multi-user boot can pro-
ceed. Default values for the various programs can be
found in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, where some in-line doc-
umentation may be found. More complete documentation
can be found in rc.conf(5).
When you have finished editing /etc/rc.conf, type exit
at the prompt to leave the single-user shell and con-
tinue with the multi-user boot.
Other values that may need to be set in /etc/rc.conf
for a networked environment are hostname and possibly
defaultroute. You may also need to add an ifconfig_int
for your <int> network interface, along the lines of
ifconfig_le0="inet 192.0.2.123 netmask
255.255.255.0"
or, if you have myname.my.dom in /etc/hosts:
ifconfig_le0="inet myname.my.dom netmask
255.255.255.0"
To enable proper hostname resolution, you will also
want to add an /etc/resolv.conf file or (if you are
feeling a little more adventurous) run named(8). See
resolv.conf(5) or named(8) for more information.
Instead of manually configuring networking, DHCP can be
used by setting dhcpcd=YES in /etc/rc.conf.
3. Logging in
After reboot, you can log in as root at the login
prompt. If you didn't set a password in sysinst, there
is no initial password. You should create an account
for yourself (see below) and protect it and the
``root'' account with good passwords. By default, root
login from the network is disabled (even via ssh(1)).
One way to become root over the network is to log in as
a different user that belongs to group ``wheel'' (see
group(5)) and use su(1) to become root.
4. Adding accounts
Use the useradd(8) command to add accounts to your sys-
tem. Do not edit /etc/passwd directly! See vipw(8) and
pwd_mkdb(8) if you want to edit the password database.
5. The X Window System
If you installed the X Window System, you may want to
read the chapter about X in the NetBSD Guide:
https://www.NetBSD.org/docs/guide/en/chap-x.html:
6. Installing third party packages
If you wish to install any of the software freely
available for UNIX-like systems you are strongly
advised to first check the NetBSD package system,
pkgsrc. pkgsrc automatically handles any changes nec-
essary to make the software run on NetBSD. This
includes the retrieval and installation of any other
packages the software may depend upon.
o More information on the package system is available
at
https://www.NetBSD.org/docs/software/packages.html
o A list of available packages suitable for browsing
is at
https://cdn.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc/README.html
o Precompiled binaries can be found at
https://cdn.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/
usually in the amiga/9.4/All subdir. If you
installed pkgin(1) in the sysinst post-installation
configuration menu, you can use it to automatically
install binary packages over the network. Assuming
that /usr/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf is cor-
rectly configured, you can install them with the
following commands:
# pkgin install tcsh
# pkgin install bash
# pkgin install perl
# pkgin install apache
# pkgin install kde
# pkgin install firefox
...
Note: Some mirror sites don't mirror the
/pub/pkgsrc directory.
The above commands will install the Tenex-csh and
Bourne Again shells, the Perl programming language,
Apache web server, KDE desktop environment and the
Firefox web browser as well as all the packages
they depend on.
o If you did not install it from the sysinst post-
installation configuration menu, the pkgsrc(7)
framework for compiling packages can be obtained by
retrieving the file
https://cdn.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/stable/pkgsrc.tar.gz.
It is typically extracted into /usr/pkgsrc (though
other locations work fine) with the commands:
# cd /usr
# tar -zxpf pkgsrc.tar.gz
After extracting, see the doc/pkgsrc.txt file in
the extraction directory (e.g.,
/usr/pkgsrc/doc/pkgsrc.txt) for more information.
7. Misc
o Edit /etc/mail/aliases to forward root mail to the
right place. Don't forget to run newaliases(1)
afterwards.
o Edit /etc/rc.local to run any local daemons you
use.
o Many of the /etc files are documented in section 5
of the manual; so just invoking
# man 5 filename
is likely to give you more information on these
files.
Upgrading a previously-installed NetBSD System
The upgrade path to NetBSD 9.4 documented here is by binary
sets.
To do the upgrade, you must have the NetBSD kernel on
AmigaDOS and you must transfer the miniroot file system
miniroot.fs onto the swap partition of the NetBSD hard disk.
You must also have at least the base binary distribution set
available. Finally, you must have sufficient disk space
available to install the new binaries. Since the old bina-
ries are being overwritten in place, you only need space for
the new binaries, which weren't previously on the system.
This is typically not more than a few megabytes.
Since upgrading involves replacing the kernel and most of
the system binaries, it has the potential to cause data
loss. You are strongly advised to BACK UP ANY IMPORTANT
DATA ON YOUR DISK, whether on the NetBSD partition or on
another operating system's partition, before beginning the
upgrade process.
To upgrade your system, begin by transferring the miniroot
file system onto the hard disk partition used by NetBSD for
swapping, as described in the "Preparing your System for
NetBSD Installation" section above.
Now boot up NetBSD, with bootblocks installed
Note: This description is for V40 (OS 3.1) ROMs. For older
ROMs, there might be small differences. Check your
AmigaDOS documentation to learn about the exact pro-
cedure. Booting using bootblocks doesn't work at all
on some systems, and may require a mountable file
system on others.
Reboot your machine, holding down both mouse buttons if you
have a 2-button mouse, the outer mouse buttons if you have a
3-button mouse. On the DraCo, press the left mouse button
instead, when the boot screen prompts you for it.
From the boot menu, select Boot Options. Select the swap
partition with the miniroot, and then ok. Select Boot now.
The machine will boot the bootblock, which will prompt you
for a command line. You have a few seconds to change the
default. Entering an empty line will accept the default.
The bootblock uses command lines of the form:
file [options]
where file is the kernel file name on the partition where
the boot block is on, and options may contain the same as
described in the INSTALL section.
For installing, use
netbsd -b
If you machine has a split memory space, like, e.g., DraCo
machines, use this instead:
netbsd -bn2
Once your kernel boots
You should see the screen clear and some information about
your system as the kernel configures the hardware. Note
which hard disk device is configured that contains your root
(/) and swap partitions. When prompted for the root device,
type sd0b (replacing `0' with the disk number that NetBSD
used for your root/swap device). When prompted for a dump
device, answer `none' for the upgrade. (For a normal boot,
you would tell it one of the swap devices). When prompted
for the root file system type, confirm `generic', which will
auto-detect it.
You will be presented with some information about the
upgrade process and a warning message, and will be asked if
you wish to proceed with the upgrade process. If you answer
negatively, the upgrade process will stop, and your disk
will not be modified. If you answer affirmatively, the
upgrade process will begin, and your disk will be modified.
You may press CONTROL-C to stop the upgrade process at any
time. However, if you press it at an inopportune moment,
your system may be left in an inconsistent (and possibly
unusable) state.
You will now be greeted and reminded of the fact that this
is a potentially dangerous procedure and that you should not
upgrade the etc set.
When you decide to proceed, you will be prompted to enter
your root disk. After you've done this, it will be checked
automatically to make sure that the file system is in a sane
state before making any modifications. After this is done,
you will be asked if you want to configure your network.
You are now allowed to edit your fstab, but normally you
don't have to. Note that the upgrade-kit uses its own copy
of the fstab. Whatever you do here won't affect your actual
fstab. After you are satisfied with your fstab, the
upgrade-kit will check all file systems mentioned in it.
When they're ok, they will be mounted.
You will now be asked if your sets are stored on a normally
mounted file system. You should answer `y' to this question
if you have the sets stored on a file system that was
present in the fstab. The actions you should take for the
set extraction are pretty logical (we think).
After you have extracted the sets, the upgrade kit will pro-
ceed with setting the timezone and installing the kernel and
bootcode. This is all exactly the same as described in the
installation section.
Your system has now been upgraded to NetBSD 9.4.
After a new kernel has been copied to your hard disk, your
machine is a complete NetBSD 9.4 system. However, that
doesn't mean that you're finished with the upgrade process.
There are several things that you should do, or might have
to do, to insure that the system works properly.
You will probably want to get the etc distribution, extract
it, and compare its contents with those in your /etc direc-
tory. You will probably want to replace some of your system
configuration files, or incorporate some of the changes in
the new versions into yours.
You will want to delete old binaries that were part of the
version of NetBSD that you upgraded from and have since been
removed from the NetBSD distribution.
Compatibility Issues With Previous NetBSD Releases
Users upgrading from previous versions of NetBSD may wish to
bear the following problems and compatibility issues in mind
when upgrading to NetBSD 9.4.
Note that sysinst will automatically invoke
postinstall fix
and thus all issues that are fixed by postinstall by default
will be handled.
A number of things have been removed from the NetBSD 9.4
release. See the ``Components removed from NetBSD'' section
near the beginning of this document for a list.
Using online NetBSD documentation
Documentation is available if you installed the manual dis-
tribution set. Traditionally, the ``man pages'' (documenta-
tion) are denoted by `name(section)'. Some examples of this
are
o intro(1),
o man(1),
o apropos(1),
o passwd(1), and
o passwd(5).
The section numbers group the topics into several cate-
gories, but three are of primary interest: user commands are
in section 1, file formats are in section 5, and administra-
tive information is in section 8.
The man command is used to view the documentation on a
topic, and is started by entering man [section] topic. The
brackets [] 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 num-
bered section name will be displayed. For instance, after
logging in, enter
# man passwd
to read the documentation for passwd(1). To view the docu-
mentation for passwd(5), enter
# man 5 passwd
instead.
If you are unsure of what man page you are looking for,
enter
# apropos subject-word
where subject-word is your topic of interest; a list of pos-
sibly related man pages will be displayed.

To report bugs, use the send-pr(1) command shipped with
NetBSD, and fill in as much information about the problem as
you can. Good bug reports include lots of details.
Bugs also can be submitted and queried with the web inter-
face at
https://www.NetBSD.org/support/send-pr.html
There are also port-specific mailing lists, to discuss
aspects of each port of NetBSD. Use majordomo to find their
addresses, or visit
https://www.NetBSD.org/mailinglists/
If you're interested in doing a serious amount of work on a
specific port, you probably should contact the `owner' of
that port (listed below).
