The NetBSD Operating System is a fully functional open- source operating system derived from the University of Cali- fornia, 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 10.0 release contains complete binary releases for most of these system architectures, with preliminary support for the others included in source form. For more informa- tion please visit hhttttppss::////wwwwww..NNeettBBSSDD..oorrgg//. 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. DDeeddiiccaattiioonn NetBSD 10.0 is dedicated to the memory of Ryo SHIMIZU, who passed away in May 2023. Ryo's technical contributions are too many to list here in full. He was a long term contributor and worked on a lot of low-level code over various architectures, from x68k to aarch64. He also worked on various out-of-tree NetBSD items, like the IIJ git repository conversion. The project lost an excellent technical contributor and many of us a good friend. CChhaannggeess BBeettwweeeenn TThhee NNeettBBSSDD 99 aanndd 1100 RReelleeaasseess The NetBSD 10.0 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. One important new feature in this release is the support for extended attributes and access control lists on FFS file systems. For new installations the installer will by default disable these features, so the file system is compatible with older NetBSD releases (before 10), and allow other operating sys- tems to mount this file systems at least in read-only mode. If you want a new installed file system to support extended attributes, change the file system type from ``FFSv2'' to ``FFSv2ea'' in the partitioning menu. You can also convert file systems later, using the fsck_ffs(8) utility.

FFeeaattuurreess ttoo bbee rreemmoovveedd iinn aa llaatteerr rreelleeaassee The following features are to be removed from NetBSD in the future: ++oo groff(1). Man pages are now handled with mandoc(1), and groff(1) can still be found in pkgsrc as _t_e_x_t_p_r_o_c_/_g_r_o_f_f. ++oo pf(4). This packet filter is obsolete and unmain- tained in NetBSD. It will be eventually removed due to possible long-standing security issues and lack of multiprocessor support. New installations should use npf(7).

README.files README describing the distribution's contents. _i_m_a_g_e_s_/ Images (ISO 9660 or USB) for installing NetBSD. Depending on your system, these may be bootable. _s_o_u_r_c_e_/ 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 10.0 has a binary distribution. The source distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the _s_o_u_r_c_e subdirectory of the distribution tree. They contain the complete sources to the system. The source dis- tribution sets are as follows: ggnnuussrrcc This set contains the ``gnu'' sources, including the source for the compiler, assembler, groff, and the other GNU utilities in the binary distribution sets. sshhaarreessrrcc 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. ssrrcc This set contains all of the base NetBSD 10.0 sources which are not in ggnnuussrrcc, sshhaarreessrrcc, or ssyyssssrrcc. ssyyssssrrcc This set contains the sources to the NetBSD 10.0 kernel for all architectures as well as the config(1) utility. xxssrrcc This set contains the sources to the X Window Sys- tem. All the above source sets are located in the _s_o_u_r_c_e_/_s_e_t_s subdirectory of the distribution tree. The source sets are distributed as compressed tar files. Except for the ppkkggssrrcc set, which is traditionally unpacked into _/_u_s_r_/_p_k_g_s_r_c, all sets may be unpacked into _/_u_s_r_/_s_r_c with the command: # ccdd // ;; ttaarr --zzxxppff sseett__nnaammee..ttggzz 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: cckkssuumm --aa MMDD55 _f_i_l_e. SHA512 SHA512 digests in the format produced by the command: cckkssuumm --aa SSHHAA551122 _f_i_l_e. 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. _N_e_t_B_S_D_/_a_c_o_r_n_3_2 _s_u_b_d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y _s_t_r_u_c_t_u_r_e The acorn32-specific portion of the NetBSD 10.0 release is found in the _a_c_o_r_n_3_2 subdirectory of the distribution: _._._._/_N_e_t_B_S_D_-_1_0_._0_/_a_c_o_r_n_3_2_/.

The binary distribution sets can be found in the _a_c_o_r_n_3_2_/_b_i_n_a_r_y_/_s_e_t_s subdirectory of the NetBSD 10.0 distri- bution tree, and are as follows: bbaassee The NetBSD 10.0 acorn32 bbaassee binary distribution. You _m_u_s_t install this distribution set. It con- tains the base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the system to run and be minimally functional. ccoommpp Things needed for compiling programs. This set includes the system include files (_/_u_s_r_/_i_n_c_l_u_d_e) and the various system libraries (except the shared libraries, which are included as part of the bbaassee 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. ddeebbuugg This distribution set contains debug information for all base system utilities. It is useful when reporting issues with binaries or during develop- ment. This set is huge, if the target disk is small, do not install it. eettcc This distribution set contains the system configu- ration files that reside in _/_e_t_c and in several other places. This set _m_u_s_t be installed if you are installing the system from scratch, but should _n_o_t be used if you are upgrading. ggaammeess This set includes the games and their manual pages. kkeerrnn--GGEENNEERRIICC This set contains a NetBSD/acorn32 10.0 GENERIC kernel, named _/_n_e_t_b_s_d. You _m_u_s_t install this dis- tribution set. mmaann This set includes all of the manual pages for the binaries and other software contained in the bbaassee set. Note that it does not include any of the man- ual pages that are included in the other sets. mmiisscc This set includes the system dictionaries, the typesettable document set, and other files from _/_u_s_r_/_s_h_a_r_e. mmoodduulleess This set includes kernel modules to add functional- ity to a running system. rreessccuuee This set includes the statically linked emergency recovery binaries installed in _/_r_e_s_c_u_e. tteexxtt 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: xxbbaassee The basic files needed for a complete X client environment. This does not include the X servers. xxccoommpp The extra libraries and include files needed to compile X source code. xxddeebbuugg This distribution set contains debug information for all X11 binaries. It is useful when reporting issues with these binaries or during development. This set is huge, if the target disk is small, do not install it. xxffoonntt Fonts needed by the X server and by X clients. xxeettcc Configuration files for X which could be locally modified. xxsseerrvveerr The X server. This includes Xarm32VIDC and Xprt servers. The acorn32 binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files named with the extension ..ttggzz, e.g. _b_a_s_e_._t_g_z. 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 _b_e_l_o_w _t_h_e _c_u_r_r_e_n_t _d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y. Therefore, if you want to extract the binaries into your system, i.e. replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the ttaarr --xxzzppff command from the root directory ( _/ ) of your system. _N_o_t_e_: Each directory in the acorn32 binary distribution also has its own checksum files, just as the source distribution does. NNeettBBSSDD//aaccoorrnn3322 SSyysstteemm RReeqquuiirreemmeennttss aanndd SSuuppppoorrtteedd DDeevviicceess NetBSD/acorn32 10.0 runs on Acorn systems with ARM6 or later processors, with or without a FPU coprocessor. The minimal configuration is said to require 8 MB of RAM and 140 MB of disk space, though we do not know of anyone running with a system quite this minimal today. 8 MB of RAM might allow you to run X and/or compile, but it won't be speedy. Note that until you have around 16 MB of RAM, getting more RAM is more important than getting a faster CPU. _S_u_p_p_o_r_t_e_d _d_e_v_i_c_e_s ++oo RiscPC/A7000(+) floppy controller ++oo IDE controllers -- Acorn motherboard IDE -- Simtec IDE controller -- RapIDE Issue 2 IDE controller -- ICS V5 & V6 IDE controller ++oo SCSI host adapters -- Cumana SCSI 2 -- PowerTec SCSI 2 -- MCS Connect32 SCSI 2 -- Acorn SCSI -- Oak SCSI I -- Morley SCSI I (uncached only) ++oo VIDC20 video ++oo RiscPC Motherboard serial port ++oo RiscPC Motherboard parallel port ++oo Ethernet adapters -- Acorn Ether1 -- Atomwide Ether3 -- ANT Ether3 -- ANT Ether5 -- Atomwide EtherA -- ANT EtherB -- Acorn EtherH -- I-cubed EtherH -- ANT EtherM ++oo Most SCSI disk drives ++oo Most SCSI tape drives ++oo CD-ROM drives -- Most SCSI CD-ROM drives -- Most ATAPI CD-ROM drives _N_o_t_e_: Some low-priced IDE CD-ROM drives are known for being not or not fully ATAPI compliant, and thus require some hack (generally an entry to a quirk table) to work with NetBSD. ++oo Mice -- RiscPC quadrature mouse -- A7000 PS/2 mouse ++oo Processors -- ARM 610 -- ARM 700 -- ARM 700 + FPA11 -- ARM 710 -- ARM 7500 -- ARM 7500FE -- ARM 810.

GGeettttiinngg tthhee NNeettBBSSDD SSyysstteemm oonn ttoo UUsseeffuull MMeeddiiaa Installation is supported from several media types, includ- ing: ++oo CD-ROM / DVD / USB stick ++oo FTP ++oo Remote NFS partition ++oo Tape ++oo 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. _C_D_-_R_O_M _/ _D_V_D _/ _U_S_B _s_t_i_c_k Find out where the distribution set files are on the CD-ROM, DVD or USB stick. Likely locations are _b_i_n_a_r_y_/_s_e_t_s and _a_c_o_r_n_3_2_/_b_i_n_a_r_y_/_s_e_t_s. (You only need to know this if you are mix- ing 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. _F_T_P 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. _N_F_S 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 _/_e_t_c_/_e_x_p_o_r_t_s 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. _T_a_p_e 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: # ttaarr --ccff _t_a_p_e___d_e_v_i_c_e _d_i_s_t___s_e_t_s where _t_a_p_e___d_e_v_i_c_e is the name of the tape device that represents the tape drive you're using. This might be _/_d_e_v_/_r_s_t_0, or something similar, but it will vary from system to system. In the above example, _d_i_s_t___s_e_t_s is a list of filenames corresponding to the distribution sets that you wish to place on the tape. For instance, to put the kkeerrnn--GGEENNEERRIICC,, bbaassee,, and eettcc distributions on tape (the absolute minimum required for installation), you would do the following: # ccdd ......//NNeettBBSSDD--1100..00 # ccdd aaccoorrnn3322//bbiinnaarryy # ttaarr --ccff _t_a_p_e___d_e_v_i_c_e kkeerrnn--GGEENNEERRIICC..ttggzz bbaassee..ttggzz eettcc..ttggzz _N_o_t_e_: You still need to fill in _t_a_p_e___d_e_v_i_c_e 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.

Repartitioning your hard disk is an excellent way to destroy important data. _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _r_e_q_u_i_r_e_m_e_n_t_s You will need the following RISC OS software: ++oo A program that will unpack sparchives. We recommend that you get David Pilling's !SparkPlug. A self- extracting version of this can be found in the distribu- tion directory at _i_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n_/_m_i_s_c_/_s_p_l_u_g_._b_a_s or at David Pilling's website: hhttttpp::////wwwwww..ddaavviiddppiilllliinngg..nneett//ffrreeee..hhttmmll ++oo A program to report your disk's geometry: ++oo Not really needed, as you can simply boot the installation kernel and look for the geometry in the boot messages. ++oo Sergio Monesi's fsck suite (a good thing to have around anyway).

File system A structured partition that is able to hold files. Disc A RISC OS file system in a partition. There can be more than one Disc per Device. You will have to decide which device you wish to install NetBSD on. You will also have to decide whether you want to split the device between one or more RiscOS Discs and NetBSD or dedicate a whole Device for NetBSD. In making this decision you should consider the possibility that if NetBSD is incorrectly configured on a shared device then your shared data is at risk. It is still recommended that if you decide to dedicate a device to NetBSD that you set aside a small RISC OS parti- tion at the beginning of the device. This is a useful place to store the RISC OS side of NetBSD, and will make the use of UnixFS easier to configure. If you do decide to create a minimal RISC OS partition at the beginning of the device, a size of 10-20 MB is recommended (some partitioning software has problems with partitions smaller than this). The point is that you will have to repartition your device to make room for a separate partition after the RISC OS one for NetBSD. This means backing up your device, re-parti- tioning it and then copying all the data back afterwards. We recommend that you only copy the needed data back and put off installing the rest until you have NetBSD up and run- ning. This way you will save yourself a lot of work if something goes wrong and you have to start all over again. _S_h_a_r_i_n_g _y_o_u_r _d_e_v_i_c_e 2.1.1 Acorn IDE Use !HForm for this interface. This is a program that is delivered with your computer and is located in the _U_t_i_l_i_t_i_e_s directory on your hard disk. With this software you only have the possibility of using one partition for RISC OS, so you have to set the rest aside for NetBSD. Use this procedure to set up your device: ++oo Start !HForm by double-clicking on its icon. ++oo Choose the "custom" or "other" option when prompted (usually the last). ++oo Use the default values for the geometry but do not enter the full number of cylinders. Just enter the number you want to use for RISC OS. Make a note of this number. ++oo Continue to accept the default answers until you're asked whether you want to format or initialize, choose initialize. ++oo Go to the section about running bbbb__rriissccbbssdd. 2.1.2 Cumana SCSI-2 card It is recommended that you use a newer version of !SCSIMgr (newer than v1.55) since this will be easier to use when you want to leave part of the device unused by RISC OS. You should check for the latest version of this software at the following URL: hhttttpp::////wwwwww..ccuummaannaa..ddeemmoonn..ccoo..uukk You need to create one or more RISC OS partitions, and you do it in in the following way: ++oo Run !SCSIMgr by double-clicking on it. ++oo Select the device you wish to repartition. ++oo Click on the clear icon in the partitions subwindow. ++oo This will give you a dialogue box where you can specify the size of the RISC OS partitions. Do not select all since you want to use part of it for NetBSD. ++oo Enter the amount of the device you wish to reserve for RiscOS. This will be the whole device size less the amount you want to reserve for NetBSD. Make a note of this number. ++oo If you like, split the RISC OS portion of the device into several partition (you should only "see" the RiscOS portion). ++oo Click on Execute when you are happy with the partitions. This will create your partitions, and wipe your device. ++oo Go to the section about running bbbb__rriissccbbssdd. 2.1.3 Alsystems Power-tec SCSI-2 card You must use the !PowerMgr program to partition the device. The RISC OS partitions should be called `RiscOs:', and the NetBSD one should be called `Empty:'. Here is the procedure you should use: ++oo Start !PowerMgr by double-clicking on its icon. ++oo Click on advanced in the main window ++oo Click on Define/create partitions ++oo Click on the device you want to set up for NetBSD. ++oo Set up the RISC OS partitions as `RiscOs:' and the remaining one as `Empty:'. ++oo Click on each figure and press RETURN. ++oo Click on partition drive. ++oo Click on yes to warning as you really want to wipe the device. ++oo Click on yes to proceed, this will lead you to the partition init. ++oo Partition init ++oo Set a tick on all `RiscOs:' partitions, give them a name and set LFAU to auto. ++oo Unset the tick on your `Empty:' partition. ++oo Click on Initialize selected partitions. ++oo Click on yes to proceed init as you want to wipe the selected partitions. ++oo Click on yes to proceed to configure. ++oo Configure ++oo Here you should set up the RISC OS partitions as you like them. Normally the default will be ok. ++oo Click on configure. This will configure your com- puter and give you access to the Discs. ++oo You _m_u_s_t _n_o_t run bbbb__rriissccbbssdd. 2.1.4 Acorn SCSI card You can only have one RISC OS partition with this card. The rest has to be set aside for NetBSD. This card does not have a friendly WIMP-based interface on the SCSI management program, but the command line version is very good. You should run this in a task window (press CTRL-F12): *dir _l_o_c_a_t_i_o_n___o_f___s_c_s_i_d_m *scsidm You will get the following prompt: scsidm> Now you should enter the following commands: pprroobbee (to see which devices are available) ddeevviiccee _n_o (replace _n_o with the no of your device) sseeccttiioonn (to divide the device between RISC OS and NetBSD) ++oo Answer yes to the question: Include RISCiX partitions? ++oo Enter the size of the RISC OS area in blocks (sectors) ++oo SCSIDM will round this up to the nearest cylinder boundary. ++oo Answer yes to the question: Do you really want to section device _n_o? ++oo This will section the device into two parti- tions. qquuiitt Go to the section on running bbbb__rriissccbbssdd. 2.1.5 Other interfaces It may not be possible to partition devices on other inter- face. If you are using a different interface you have 2 options: ++oo Try to work out how to partition devices on it ++oo Use the entire device for NetBSD _U_s_i_n_g _a _w_h_o_l_e _d_e_v_i_c_e _f_o_r _N_e_t_B_S_D As a safety precaution NetBSD/acorn32 looks for a filecore bootblock at the beginning of any device it labels. If it finds one and it looks as though it is in use then NetBSD/acorn32 will not touch it. Because of this, if you've ever used your device for RiscOS, you will need to invalidate this bootblock. To do this you need to: ++oo Be absolutely sure you want to do this. ++oo Run bbbb__ttrraasshh and follow the instructions. Ensure that this device is now not configured for RiscOS. You are now ready to boot NetBSD and continue the installa- tion. _R_u_n_n_i_n_g _b_b___r_i_s_c_b_s_d When you run this program, you will first be asked whether you are installing to an ADFS drive or a SCSI drive. You can just press `A' or `S' respectively. (The bbbb__rriissccbbssdd program assumes that you are using a non-Acorn SCSI card, so if you are using an Acorn card, then you may have to edit this program and replace `SCSI_DiscOp' with `SCSIFS_DiscOp'.) Then you will be asked which Disc you want to install NetBSD on. This _m_u_s_t be the first Disc on the device. bbbb__rriissccbbssdd will now scrutinize the device and see how it has been laid out. It will then tell you how much of the device is occupied by RiscOS in cylinders, and you will then be asked for the NetBSD starting cylinder. Normally you should just enter the number given to you since the RISC OS starting cylinder is 0 and therefore the last cylinder in use is one less than the figure given. If no figure is displayed, then your par- titioning software failed to fill in the bootblock com- pletely (it doesn't have to do this for you but most do) or you selected the wrong device. If you are convinced that this is the correct device then you must calculate a cylin- der offset using the numbers noted down during partitioning (if it is not a whole number _a_l_w_a_y_s round up, you might waste a little of the device but it'll be safer). Make a note of this number. bbbb__rriissccbbssdd will make a backup of the original bootblock, but it can be non-trivial to put it back. _B_o_o_t_i_n_g Now that your device is ready for the installation you need to unpack the bootloader archive, _B_t_N_e_t_B_S_D_._s_p_k, (If you're installing from CD-ROM then this should be unpacked already) and copy the directory to your hard disk. In the archive you'll find the tools mentioned in this document as well as the bootloader _!_B_t_N_e_t_B_S_D itself. _C_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_i_n_g _t_h_e _!_B_t_N_e_t_B_S_D _b_o_o_t_l_o_a_d_e_r _b_e_f_o_r_e _i_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n Open the _!_B_t_N_e_t_B_S_D application and edit the _f_a_s_t_b_o_o_t file. You can set details like tweaking with the amount of memory in the WimpSlot of the bootloader when this is too much. Remember however that this shouldn't be set too low for it can crash the bootloader. When you think you've filled in the proper details save the file again and proceed. _B_o_o_t_i_n_g _t_h_e _i_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _k_e_r_n_e_l Double click on the InstKern icon to start it up. NetBSD should now start to boot, install NetBSD as per the NetBSD installation notes. When you finish the installation you can restarted the com- puter as instructed. _C_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_i_n_g _!_B_t_N_e_t_B_S_D _a_f_t_e_r _i_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n Open the _!_B_t_N_e_t_B_S_D application again and edit the _f_a_s_t_b_o_o_t file to fill in the normal kernel name. Specify the device NetBSD should be looking for its kernel in. This is the `Run .native.mountufs ADFS 4' line that is there by default. See this document for other names. Set the kernel as _U_n_i_x_F_S_:_$_._n_e_t_b_s_d. Save the file and run !BtNetBSD again (see above). Finally, when you are happy with your NetBSD installation, do whatever is necessary to restore order to the partition you took space away from. This will most likely involve restoring files, but might involve some other ``house-work''. Your hard disk is now prepared to have NetBSD installed on it, and you should proceed with the installation instruc- tions. IInnssttaalllliinngg tthhee NNeettBBSSDD SSyysstteemm _R_u_n_n_i_n_g _t_h_e _s_y_s_i_n_s_t _i_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _p_r_o_g_r_a_m 1. _I_n_t_r_o_d_u_c_t_i_o_n Using ssyyssiinnsstt, installing NetBSD is a relatively easy process. Still, you should read this document and have it available during the installation process. This document tries to be a good guide to the installation, and as such, covers many details for the sake of com- pleteness. Do not let this discourage you; the install program is not hard to use. 2. _G_e_n_e_r_a_l The following is a walk-through of the steps you will take while installing NetBSD on your hard disk. ssyyssiinnsstt is a menu-driven program that guides you through the installation process. Sometimes questions will be asked, and in many cases the default answer will be displayed in brackets (``[ ]'') after the ques- tion. If you wish to stop the installation, you may press CONTROL-C at any time, but if you do, you'll have to begin the installation process again from scratch by running the _/_s_y_s_i_n_s_t program from the command prompt. It is not necessary to reboot. 3. _Q_u_i_c_k _i_n_s_t_a_l_l First, let's describe a quick install. The other sec- tions of this document go into the installation proce- dure in more detail, but you may find that you do not need this. If you want detailed instructions, skip to the next section. This section describes a basic installation, using a CD / DVD as the install medium. ++oo What you need. -- The distribution sets (in this example, they are on the CD or DVD). -- One 1.44 MB 3.5" floppy. -- A minimum of of memory installed. -- An optical drive. -- A hard drive with at least 500 MB of free space for a complete base install, not including room for swap. If you wish to install the X Window System as well, you will need at least 225 MB more. ++oo The Quick Installation -- Insert the first boot floppy you just created and boot the computer. After language selec- tion, the main menu will be displayed. .***********************************************. * NetBSD-10.0 Install System * * * *>a: Install NetBSD to hard disk * * b: Upgrade NetBSD on a hard disk * * c: Re-install sets or install additional sets * * d: Reboot the computer * * e: Utility menu * * f: Config menu * * x: Exit Install System * .***********************************************. -- If you wish, you can configure some network settings immediately by choosing the UUttiilliittyy mmeennuu and then CCoonnffiigguurree nneettwwoorrkk. It isn't actually required at this point, but it may be more convenient. Go back to the main menu. -- Choose IInnssttaallll. -- You will be guided through the setup of your disk. -- You will be asked to choose which distribution sets to install. -- When prompted, choose CCDD--RROOMM as the install medium if booted from CD-ROM. The default val- ues for the path and device should be OK. -- After the installation process has completed, you will be brought back to the main menu, where you should select RReebboooott, after you have removed the bootfloppy from the drive. -- NetBSD will now boot. If you didn't set a password for the root user when prompted by ssyyssiinnsstt, logging in as root and setting a pass- word should be your first task. You are also advised to read afterboot(8). 4. _B_o_o_t_i_n_g _N_e_t_B_S_D Boot your machine. The boot loader will start, which will print a countdown and begin booting. If the boot loader messages do not appear in a reason- able amount of time, you either have a bad boot floppy or a hardware problem. Try writing the install floppy image to a different disk, and using that. It will take a while to load the kernel from the floppy, probably around a minute or so; then the kernel boot messages will be displayed. This may take a lit- tle while also, as NetBSD will be probing your system to discover which hardware devices are installed. The most important thing to know is that wd0 is NetBSD's name for your first SATA/PATA disk, wd1 the second, etc. sd0 is your first SCSI disk, sd1 the second, etc. Note that once the system has finished booting, you need not leave the floppy in the disk drive. Once NetBSD has booted and printed all the boot mes- sages, you will be presented with a welcome message and a main menu. It will also include instructions for using the menus. 5. _N_e_t_w_o_r_k _c_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_a_t_i_o_n If you do not intend to use networking during the installation, but you do want your machine to be con- figured for networking once the system is installed, you should first go to the UUttiilliittyy mmeennuu and select the CCoonnffiigguurree nneettwwoorrkk option. If you only want to tempo- rarily use networking during the installation, you can specify these parameters later. If you are not using the Domain Name System (DNS), you can give an empty response when asked to provide a server. 6. _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _d_r_i_v_e _s_e_l_e_c_t_i_o_n _a_n_d _p_a_r_a_m_e_t_e_r_s To start the installation, select IInnssttaallll NNeettBBSSDD ttoo hhaarrdd ddiisskk from the main menu. The first thing is to identify the disk on which you want to install NetBSD. ssyyssiinnsstt will report a list of disks it finds and ask you for your selection. You should see disk names like sd0 or sd1. 7. _S_e_l_e_c_t_i_n_g _w_h_i_c_h _s_e_t_s _t_o _i_n_s_t_a_l_l The next step is to choose which distribution sets you wish to install. Options are provided for full, mini- mal, and custom installations. If you choose sets on your own, bbaassee, eettcc, and a kernel must be selected. 8. _P_a_r_t_i_t_i_o_n_i_n_g _t_h_e _d_i_s_k ++oo Choosing which portion of the disk to use. You will be asked if you want to use the entire disk or only part of the disk. If you decide to use the entire disk for NetBSD, ssyyssiinnsstt will check for the presence of other operating systems and you will be asked to confirm that you want to overwrite these. 9. _E_d_i_t_i_n_g _t_h_e _N_e_t_B_S_D _d_i_s_k_l_a_b_e_l The partition table of the NetBSD part of a disk is called a _d_i_s_k_l_a_b_e_l. If your disk already has a diskla- bel written to it, you can choose UUssee eexxiissttiinngg ppaarrttiittiioonn ssiizzeess. Otherwise, select SSeett ssiizzeess ooff NNeettBBSSDD ppaarrttiittiioonnss. After you have chosen your partitions and their sizes (or if you opted to use the existing partitions), you will be presented with the layout of the NetBSD diskla- bel and given one more chance to change it. For each partition, you can set the type, offset and size, block and fragment size, and the mount point. The type that NetBSD uses for normal file storage is called 44..22BBSSDD. A swap partition has a special type called sswwaapp. Some partitions in the disklabel have a fixed purpose. a Root partition (_/) b Swap partition. c The entire disk. d-h Available for other use. Traditionally, e is the partition mounted on _/_u_s_r, but this is historical practice and not a fixed value. You will then be asked to name your disk's disklabel. The default response will be OK for most purposes. If you choose to name it something different, make sure the name is a single word and contains no special char- acters. You don't need to remember this name. 10. _P_r_e_p_a_r_i_n_g _y_o_u_r _h_a_r_d _d_i_s_k _Y_o_u _a_r_e _n_o_w _a_t _t_h_e _p_o_i_n_t _o_f _n_o _r_e_t_u_r_n. Nothing has been written to your disk yet, but if you confirm that you want to install NetBSD, your hard drive will be modified. If you are sure you want to proceed, select yyeess. The install program will now label your disk and create the file systems you specified. The file systems will be initialized to contain NetBSD bootstrapping binaries and configuration files. You will see messages on your screen from the various NetBSD disk preparation tools that are running. There should be no errors in this section of the installation. If there are, restart from the beginning of the installation process. Other- wise, you can continue the installation program after pressing the return key. 11. _G_e_t_t_i_n_g _t_h_e _d_i_s_t_r_i_b_u_t_i_o_n _s_e_t_s The NetBSD distribution consists of a number of _s_e_t_s that come in the form of gzipped tar files. At this point, you will be presented with a menu which enables you to choose from one of the following methods of installing the sets. Some of these methods will first transfer the sets to your hard disk, others will extract the sets directly. For all these methods, the first step is to make the sets available for extraction. The sets can be made available in a few different ways. The following sec- tions describe each of the methods. After reading about the method you will be using, you can continue to the section labeled `Extracting the distribution sets'. 12. _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _f_r_o_m _C_D_-_R_O_M When installing from a CD-ROM, you will be asked to specify the device name for your CD-ROM drive (usually cd0) and the directory name on the CD-ROM where the distribution files are. ssyyssiinnsstt will then check that the files are actually present in the specified location and proceed to the extraction of the sets. 13. _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _u_s_i_n_g _F_T_P To install using FTP, you first need to configure your network setup if you haven't already done so. ssyyssiinnsstt will help you with this, asking if you want to use DHCP. If you do not use DHCP, you can enter network configuration details yourself. If you do not have DNS set up for the machine that you are installing on, you can just press RETURN in answer to this question, and DNS will not be used. You will also be asked to specify the host that you want to transfer the sets from, the directory on that host, the account name and password used to log into that host using FTP, and optionally a proxy server to use. If you did not set up DNS, you will need to spec- ify an IP address instead of a hostname for the FTP server. ssyyssiinnsstt will then transfer the set files from the remote site to your hard disk. 14. _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _u_s_i_n_g _N_F_S To install using NFS, you first need to configure your network setup if you haven't already done so. ssyyssiinnsstt will do this for you, asking you if you want to use DHCP. If you do not use DHCP, you can enter network configuration details yourself. If you do not have DNS set up for the machine that you are installing on, you can just press RETURN in answer to this question, and DNS will not be used. You will also be asked to specify the host that you want to transfer the sets from and the directory on that host that the files are in. This directory should be mountable by the machine you are installing on, i.e., correctly exported to your machine. If you did not set up DNS, you will need to specify an IP address instead of a hostname for the NFS server. 15. _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _f_r_o_m _a_n _u_n_m_o_u_n_t_e_d _f_i_l_e _s_y_s_t_e_m In order to install from a local file system, you will need to specify the device that the file system resides on (for example wd1e), the type of the file system, and the directory on the specified file system where the sets are located. ssyyssiinnsstt will then check if it can indeed access the sets at that location. 16. _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _f_r_o_m _a _l_o_c_a_l _d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y This option assumes that you have already done some preparation yourself. The sets should be located in a directory on a file system that is already accessible. ssyyssiinnsstt will ask you for the name of this directory. 17. _E_x_t_r_a_c_t_i_n_g _t_h_e _d_i_s_t_r_i_b_u_t_i_o_n _s_e_t_s A progress bar will be displayed while the distribution sets are being extracted. After all the files have been extracted, the device node files will be created. If you have already con- figured networking, you will be asked if you want to use this configuration for normal operation. If so, these values will be installed in the network configu- ration files. 18. _C_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_e _a_d_d_i_t_i_o_n_a_l _i_t_e_m_s The next menu will allow you to select a number of additional items to configure, including the time zone that you're in, to make sure your clock has the right offset from UTC, the root user's shell, and the initial root password. You can also enable installation of binary packages, which installs the pkgin(1) tool for managing binary packages for third-party software. This will feel familiar to users of package tools such as aapptt--ggeett or yyuumm. If you prefer to install third-party software from source, you can install the pkgsrc(7) tree. Finally, you can enable some daemons such as sshd(8), ntpd(8), or mdnsd(8). 19. _F_i_n_a_l_i_z_i_n_g _y_o_u_r _i_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n Congratulations, you have successfully installed NetBSD 10.0. You can now reboot the machine and boot NetBSD from hard disk. PPoosstt iinnssttaallllaattiioonn sstteeppss 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 _/_e_t_c_/_r_c_._c_o_n_f If you or the installation software haven't done any configuration of _/_e_t_c_/_r_c_._c_o_n_f (ssyyssiinnsstt 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 _/_b_i_n_/_s_h prompt. If you are asked for a terminal type, respond with vvtt222200 (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: # ssttttyy eerraassee ''^^hh'' # ssttttyy eerraassee ''^^??'' At this point, you need to configure at least one file in the _/_e_t_c directory. You will need to mount your root file system read/write with: # //ssbbiinn//mmoouunntt --uu --ww // Change to the _/_e_t_c directory and take a look at the _/_e_t_c_/_r_c_._c_o_n_f 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 _/_e_t_c_/_d_e_f_a_u_l_t_s_/_r_c_._c_o_n_f, where some in-line doc- umentation may be found. More complete documentation can be found in rc.conf(5). When you have finished editing _/_e_t_c_/_r_c_._c_o_n_f, type eexxiitt 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 _/_e_t_c_/_r_c_._c_o_n_f for a networked environment are _h_o_s_t_n_a_m_e and possibly _d_e_f_a_u_l_t_r_o_u_t_e. You may also need to add an _i_f_c_o_n_f_i_g___i_n_t for your network interface, along the lines of ifconfig_ei0="inet 192.0.2.123 netmask 255.255.255.0" or, if you have _m_y_n_a_m_e_._m_y_._d_o_m in _/_e_t_c_/_h_o_s_t_s: ifconfig_ei0="inet myname.my.dom netmask 255.255.255.0" To enable proper hostname resolution, you will also want to add an _/_e_t_c_/_r_e_s_o_l_v_._c_o_n_f 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 _/_e_t_c_/_r_c_._c_o_n_f. 3. Logging in After reboot, you can log in as root at the login prompt. If you didn't set a password in ssyyssiinnsstt, 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 _/_e_t_c_/_p_a_s_s_w_d 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 _N_e_t_B_S_D _G_u_i_d_e_: hhttttppss::////wwwwww..NNeettBBSSDD..oorrgg//ddooccss//gguuiiddee//eenn//cchhaapp--xx..hhttmmll: 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. ++oo More information on the package system is available at hhttttppss::////wwwwww..NNeettBBSSDD..oorrgg//ddooccss//ssooffttwwaarree//ppaacckkaaggeess..hhttmmll ++oo A list of available packages suitable for browsing is at hhttttppss::////ccddnn..NNeettBBSSDD..oorrgg//ppuubb//ppkkggssrrcc//ccuurrrreenntt//ppkkggssrrcc//RREEAADDMMEE..hhttmmll ++oo Precompiled binaries can be found at hhttttppss::////ccddnn..NNeettBBSSDD..oorrgg//ppuubb//ppkkggssrrcc//ppaacckkaaggeess//NNeettBBSSDD// usually in the _a_c_o_r_n_3_2_/_1_0_._0_/_A_l_l subdir. If you installed pkgin(1) in the ssyyssiinnsstt post-installation configuration menu, you can use it to automatically install binary packages over the network. Assuming that _/_u_s_r_/_p_k_g_/_e_t_c_/_p_k_g_i_n_/_r_e_p_o_s_i_t_o_r_i_e_s_._c_o_n_f is cor- rectly configured, you can install them with the following commands: ## ppkkggiinn iinnssttaallll ttccsshh bbaasshh ppeerrll aappaacchhee xxffccee44 ffiirreeffooxx ... The above command will install the Tenex-csh and Bourne Again shells, the Perl programming language, Apache web server, Xfce desktop environment and the Firefox web browser as well as all the packages they depend on. If it was not automatically installed, pkgin(1) can be installed on a fresh NetBSD system with pkg_add(1): eexxppoorrtt PPKKGG__PPAATTHH==hhttttppss::////ccddnn..nneettbbssdd..oorrgg//ppuubb//ppkkggssrrcc//ppaacckkaaggeess//NNeettBBSSDD//$$((uunnaammee --pp))//$$((uunnaammee --rr | ccuutt --dd__ --ff11))//AAllll ppkkgg__aadddd ppkkggiinn ++oo If you wish to use the pkgsrc(7) framework for com- piling packages and did not install it from the sysinst(8) post-installation configuration menu, you can obtain it by retrieving the file hhttttppss::////ccddnn..NNeettBBSSDD..oorrgg//ppuubb//ppkkggssrrcc//ssttaabbllee//ppkkggssrrcc..ttaarr..ggzz.

UUppggrraaddiinngg aa pprreevviioouussllyy--iinnssttaalllleedd NNeettBBSSDD SSyysstteemm The easiest way to upgrade to NetBSD 10.0 is with binaries, and that is the method documented here. To do the upgrade, you must have one form of boot media available. You must also have at least the bbaassee and kkeerrnn binary distribution sets available. Finally, you must have sufficient disk space available to install the new binaries. Since files already installed on the system are overwritten in place, you only need additional free space for files which weren't previously installed or to account for growth of the sets between releases. Since upgrading involves replacing the kernel, boot blocks, and most of the system binaries, it has the potential to cause data loss. You are strongly advised to _b_a_c_k _u_p any important data on the NetBSD partition or on another operat- ing system's partition on your disk before beginning the upgrade process. The upgrade procedure is similar to an installation, but without the hard disk partitioning. Fetching the binary sets is done in the same manner as the installation procedure; refer to the installation part of the document for help. File systems are checked before unpacking the sets. After a new kernel has been copied to your hard disk, your machine is a complete NetBSD 10.0 system. However, that doesn't mean that you're finished with the upgrade process. You will probably want to update the set of device nodes you have in _/_d_e_v. If you've changed the contents of _/_d_e_v by hand, you will need to be careful about this, but if not, you can just cd into _/_d_e_v, and run the command: # sshh MMAAKKEEDDEEVV aallll ssyyssiinnsstt will attempt to merge the settings stored in your _/_e_t_c directory with the new version of NetBSD using the postinstall(8) utility. However, postinstall(8) is only able to deal with changes that are easily automated. It is recommended that you use the etcupdate(8) tool to merge any remaining configuration changes. CCoommppaattiibbiilliittyy IIssssuueess WWiitthh PPrreevviioouuss NNeettBBSSDD RReelleeaasseess Users upgrading from previous versions of NetBSD may wish to bear the following problems and compatibility issues in mind when upgrading to NetBSD 10.0. Note that ssyyssiinnsstt will automatically invoke postinstall fix and thus all issues that are fixed by ppoossttiinnssttaallll by default will be handled. In NetBSD 9 and earlier, filesystems listed in _/_e_t_c_/_f_s_t_a_b would be mounted before non-legacy zzffss filesystems. Starting from NetBSD 10 this order has been reversed. If you have ever run a version of NetBSD -current between April 18, 2020 and September 23, 2022 (the version numbers used in the affected time range are between 9.99.56 and 9.99.106) your FFS file systems might have broken extended attributes stored. You should follow this _g_u_i_d_e_: hhttttppss::////wwiikkii..nneettbbssdd..oorrgg//ffeeaattuurreess//UUFFSS22eeaa// before booting the updated system multi-user for the first time. _N_o_t_e _t_h_a_t _y_o_u _d_o _n_o_t _n_e_e_d _t_o _d_o _a_n_y_t_h_i_n_g _s_p_e_c_i_a_l _i_f _y_o_u _n_e_v_e_r _d_i_d _r_u_n _a_n_y _a_f_f_e_c_t_e_d _k_e_r_n_e_l_, especially if you have never run NetBSD -current. The display drivers used for modern GPUs and the whole sub- system supporting it (DRM/KMS) have been updated to a newer version. Unfortunately not all issues with this have been resolved before the NetBSD 10.0 release. You can find a list of issues in the _O_p_e_n _i_s_s_u_e_s _w_i_t_h _n_e_w _D_R_M_/_K_M_S_: hhttttppss::////wwiikkii..nneettbbssdd..oorrgg//rreelleenngg//nneettbbssdd--1100// section of the release engineering wiki page. A number of things have been removed from the NetBSD 10.0 release. See the ``Components removed from NetBSD'' section near the beginning of this document for a list. UUssiinngg oonnlliinnee NNeettBBSSDD ddooccuummeennttaattiioonn 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 ++oo intro(1), ++oo man(1), ++oo apropos(1), ++oo passwd(1), and ++oo 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 _m_a_n command is used to view the documentation on a topic, and is started by entering mmaann [_s_e_c_t_i_o_n] _t_o_p_i_c. 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 # mmaann ppaasssswwdd to read the documentation for passwd(1). To view the docu- mentation for passwd(5), enter # mmaann 55 ppaasssswwdd instead. If you are unsure of what man page you are looking for, enter # aapprrooppooss _s_u_b_j_e_c_t_-_w_o_r_d where _s_u_b_j_e_c_t_-_w_o_r_d is your topic of interest; a list of pos- sibly related man pages will be displayed. AAddmmiinniissttrriivviiaa If you've got something to say, do so! We'd like your input. There are various mailing lists available via the mailing list server at _m_a_j_o_r_d_o_m_o_@_N_e_t_B_S_D_._o_r_g. See hhttttppss::////wwwwww..NNeettBBSSDD..oorrgg//mmaaiilliinngglliissttss// for details. There are various mailing lists set up to deal with comments and questions about this release. Please send comments to: _n_e_t_b_s_d_-_c_o_m_m_e_n_t_s_@_N_e_t_B_S_D_._o_r_g. 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 hhttttppss::////wwwwww..NNeettBBSSDD..oorrgg//ssuuppppoorrtt//sseenndd--pprr..hhttmmll There are also port-specific mailing lists, to discuss aspects of each port of NetBSD. Use majordomo to find their addresses, or visit hhttttppss::////wwwwww..NNeettBBSSDD..oorrgg//mmaaiilliinngglliissttss// 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). If you'd like to help with NetBSD, and have an idea as to how you could be useful, send us mail or subscribe to: _n_e_t_b_s_d_-_u_s_e_r_s_@_N_e_t_B_S_D_._o_r_g. As a favor, please avoid mailing huge documents or files to these mailing lists. Instead, put the material you would have sent up for FTP or WWW somewhere, then mail the appro- priate list about it. If you'd rather not do that, mail the list saying you'll send the data to those who want it. TThhaannkkss ggoo ttoo ++oo The former members of UCB's Computer Systems Research Group, including (but not limited to): Keith Bostic Ralph Campbell Mike Karels Marshall Kirk McKusick for their work on BSD systems, support, and encourage- ment. ++oo The Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. for hosting the NetBSD FTP, CVS, AnonCVS, mail, mail archive, GNATS, SUP, Rsync and WWW servers. ++oo The Internet Research Institute in Japan for hosting the server which runs the CVSweb interface to the NetBSD source tree. ++oo The Columbia University Computer Science Department for hosting the build cluster. ++oo The many organizations that provide NetBSD mirror sites. ++oo Without CVS, this project would be impossible to manage, so our hats go off to Brian Berliner, Jeff Polk, and the various other people who've had a hand in making CVS a useful tool. ++oo We list the individuals and organizations that have made donations or loans of hardware and/or money, to support NetBSD development, and deserve credit for it at hhttttppss::////wwwwww..NNeettBBSSDD..oorrgg//ddoonnaattiioonnss// (If you're not on that list and should be, tell us! We probably were not able to get in touch with you, to ver- ify that you wanted to be listed.) ++oo Finally, we thank all of the people who've put sweat and tears into developing NetBSD since its inception in Jan- uary, 1993. (Obviously, there are a lot more people who deserve thanks here. If you're one of them, and would like to be mentioned, tell us!)
