INSTALLATION NOTES <2.00, 10 September 1993>
|

|
|
These notes have been prepared from those written originally for NetBSD
|
|
|
|
0.9. The conversion was done by someone who has had experience with
|
|
|
|
installing and upgrading 386bsd, but who is not a unix guru, so there
|
|
|
|
will be slant towards this experience. Corrections/updates are
|
|
|
|
welcomed, it is difficult/impossible to test every last hardware
|
|
|
|
combination.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Be sure to read _ALL_ of this document before you try to install
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD. FreeBSD probably looks a bit similar to things that you've
|
|
|
|
seen before (perhaps 386BSD), but the installation procedures are quite
|
|
|
|
different.

FreeBSD 1.0 Release Contents:
|
|
|
|
------- --- ------- --------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The FreeBSD 1.0 Release consists of the following elements:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bootable Kernel-copy floppies
|
|
|
|
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
These disks are bootable and have enough utilities on
|
|
|
|
board to copy a new kernel to a prepared hard disk. While
|
|
|
|
they are primarily intended for installing FreeBSD, they
|
|
|
|
also make upgrading to a new kernel easy: boot from it,
|
|
|
|
and copy a new kernel to disk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You must choose between one of two kernel-copy floppy
|
|
|
|
images, depending on your disk controller type. The
|
|
|
|
"kcopy-ah-floppy" image supports the Adaptec 154x and 1742
|
|
|
|
SCSI adapters, while "kcopy-bt-floppy" supports the Bustek
|
|
|
|
742 and Ultrastore SCSI adapters. For systems with only
|
|
|
|
MFM, RLL, ESDI or IDE disk controllers, either image can
|
|
|
|
be used.

|
Installation floppies
|
|
|
|
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
In addition to a bootble floppy, currently two additional
|
|
|
|
disks are required to prepare your hard drive for FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
and to install the FreeBSD distribution. Like the boot
|
|
|
|
floppies, these are distributed as binary images. They are
|
|
|
|
are named "filesystem-floppy" and "cpio-floppy".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is also an optional fourth installation disk referred
|
|
|
|
to as the "dos-floppy". This can include any programs
|
|
|
|
from the tools directory. For instance, add kermit if
|
|
|
|
this is needed for downloading files. Unlike the binary
|
|
|
|
images which are written to a floppy via dd(1) or rawrite.exe,
|
|
|
|
these programs should be copied to a DOS formatted floppy
|
|
|
|
using 386BSD's `mcopy' command (or the `copy' command if
|
|
|
|
working from DOS).
|

|
|
Upgrade floppies
|
|
|
|
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
These facilitate upgrading to FreeBSD from any previous
|
|
|
|
patch-kit level of 386BSD 0.1. Since they are currently
|
|
|
|
in BETA testing, they are not further mentioned in this
|
|
|
|
document. However, they are currently available upon
|
|
|
|
request to FreeBSD-questions@freebsd.cdrom.com.

FreeBSD distribution sets
|
|
|
|
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
These collections contain the complete FreeBSD system and
|
|
|
|
utilities. There are three separate sets: the FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
binaries, the FreeBSD sources, and the DES sources+binaries.
|
|
|
|
The DES set contains only crypt(3) code and is subject to
|
|
|
|
U.S.A. export restrictions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The binary distribution set can be found in the "binarydist"
|
|
|
|
subdirectory of the distribution. It is a single gzip'ed
|
|
|
|
tar archive split into files named bin_tgz.aa to bin_tgz.db
|
|
|
|
(i.e., 80 files all told), plus file CKSUMS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The source distribution sets can be found in under
|
|
|
|
"sourcedist" subdirectory of the distribution. It is
|
|
|
|
consists of files named src_tgz.aa to src_tgz.cp (i.e.,
|
|
|
|
68 files all told), plus file CKSUMS.
|
|
|
|
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
Finally, the security distribution set contains
|
|
|
|
usr/src/libcrypt/*, the source files for the DES encryption
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
algorithm, and the binaries which depend on it. It can
|
|
|
|
be found in the "securedist" subdirectory on sites which
|
|
|
|
choose to carry the complete FreeBSD distribution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The individual files in each collection are no more than
|
|
|
|
235 Kbytes in size. (The last file is just long enough
|
|
|
|
to contain the rest of the data for that distribution
|
|
|
|
set.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each collection is a split, gzip'ed tar archive. They
|
|
|
|
are reassembled and extracted by the install procedure.
|
|
|
|
However, to view them without installing, you can use, e.g.,
|
|
|
|
the command line:
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cat bin* | gunzip | tar tvf - | more
|
|
|
|
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
or to extract the files themselves:
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cat bin* | gunzip | tar xvfp -
|
|
|
|
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
Using this method, the files are extracted, "below" the
|
|
|
|
current directory. That is, if you want to extract the
|
|
|
|
binaries "into" your system, i.e. replace the system
|
|
|
|
binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xvfp" from /.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In each of the distribution directories, there is a file
|
|
|
|
named "CKSUMS" which contains the checksums of the files
|
|
|
|
in that directory, as generated by the cksum(1) command.
|
|
|
|
You can use cksum to verify the integrity of the archives,
|
|
|
|
if you suspect one of the files is corrupted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
N.B.: The CKSUMS files are produced using the 4.4BSD
|
|
|
|
version of cksum which is POSIX compliant. The values in
|
|
|
|
this file will probably not match with cksums from other
|
|
|
|
systems. FreeBSD uses the new 4.4BSD cksum routine. A
|
|
|
|
copy of the new cksum binary that will run on
|
|
|
|
386bsd/Netbsd/FreeBSD can be found in the "tools" subdirectory
|
|
|
|
of the distribution.

System Requirements and Supported Devices:
|
|
|
|
------ ------------ --- --------- -------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD 1.0 runs on ISA (AT-Bus) and EISA systems, with 386 and 486
|
|
|
|
processors, with or without math coprocessors. It does NOT support
|
|
|
|
Micro-channel systems, such as some IBM PS/2 systems. The minimal
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
configuration includes 4Meg of RAM, and a 70Meg hard disk, but to
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
install the entire system you'll need much more disk space, and to run
|
|
|
|
X or compile the system more RAM is recommended. (4Meg will actually
|
|
|
|
allow you to run X and/or compile, but it's extremely slow.)

Hard-Disk Storage Requirements
|
|
|
|
--------- ------- ------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The minimum base installation of FreeBSD requires a free hard disk
|
|
|
|
partition with at least 16 MB free space. This is only enough for
|
|
|
|
the three installation disks, which don't support a multi-user
|
|
|
|
shell.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The full binary distribution extracts to about 46 MB.
|
|
|
|
The full source distribution extracts to about 72 MB.
|
|
|
|
To recompile the sources requires an additional 55 MB.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since additional room is required for extracting the distributions,
|
|
|
|
a full binary installation requires a minimum of about 70 MB (46
|
|
|
|
MB extracted + 16 MB archived + 8 MB minimum swap).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A complete source + binary distribution requires a minimum of
|
|
|
|
about 210 MB (assuming a minimum 8 MB swap).
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00

|
|
|
Getting the System on to Useful Media:
|
|
|
|
------- --- ------ -- -- ------ -----
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation is supported from several media types, including:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MS-DOS floppies
|
|
|
|
Tape
|
|
|
|
NFS partitions
|
|
|
|
FTP
|
1993-09-14 02:36:09 +00:00
|
|
|
Kermit
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
No matter what you do, however, you'll need at least three disks (1.2M
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
or 1.44M) handy, on which you will put the kernel-copy image and the
|
|
|
|
install (or upgrade) floppy images.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The images are available from the directory "floppies", under the root
|
|
|
|
of the FreeBSD/FreeBSD-1.0-GAMMA tree at your favorite archive site.
|
|
|
|
They're available both as raw disk images, and gzipped, to save time
|
|
|
|
downloading.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using an AHA-154x or AHA-1742 SCSI host adapter, you need
|
|
|
|
the kcopy-ah-floppy image. If you're using a BT-742 SCSI host adapter
|
|
|
|
or an Ultrastor adaptor, then you'll need the kcopy-bt-floppy image.
|
|
|
|
If you're using MFM/RLL/IDE disk controllers, you can use either
|
|
|
|
kernel-copy floppy image.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using UNIX to make the floppies, you should use the command
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
dd(1) to write the raw floppy images (i.e., kcopy-ah-floppy or
|
|
|
|
kcopy-bt-floppy, filesystem-floppy and cpio-floppy) to the floppies.
|
|
|
|
For example, to write kcopy-ah-floppy to a 5.25" 1.2 Mb floppy
|
|
|
|
disk under 386BSD, use:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ dd if=kcopy-ah-floppy of=/dev/fd0a bs=30b count=80
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or for a 3.5" 1.44 Mb floppy:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ dd if=kcopy-ah-floppy of=/dev/fd0a bs=36b count=80
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using DOS to make the floppies, use the rawrite.exe
|
|
|
|
utility. This can be found in the "tools" subdirectory of the
|
|
|
|
distribution. Copy or download rawrite.exe and the binary images
|
|
|
|
to a DOS disk, type "rawrite" under MS-DOS and follow the
|
|
|
|
instructions. Rawrite can write binary images to either 1.2MB or
|
|
|
|
1.44MB floppies (which must be DOS formatted).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Any other programs from the tools directory that might be needed
|
|
|
|
for installing FreeBSD, such as kermit, should be copied to a DOS
|
|
|
|
formatted floppy (1.2MB or 1.44MB). Under 386BSD, they can be
|
|
|
|
copied to floppy using the mcopy command. Under DOS, use the DOS
|
|
|
|
copy command.
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The steps necessary to prepare the distribution sets for installation
|
|
|
|
depend on which method of installation you choose. The various methods
|
|
|
|
are explained below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To prepare for installing via MS-DOS floppies:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To prepare FreeBSD for installaton from MS-DOS floppies, you
|
|
|
|
need to do the following:
|
|
|
|
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
Count the number of "<set>_tgz.xx" files
|
|
|
|
you have (these are split, gzip'ed, tar
|
|
|
|
archives). Call this number N. You will
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
need N/6 1.44M floppies, or N/5 1.2M
|
|
|
|
floppies to install the distribution
|
|
|
|
in this manner. For the set of bin files
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
(i.e., 80 files) and 1.2 Mb floppies you will
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
need 16 disks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Format all of the floppies, with MS-DOS.
|
|
|
|
Don't make any of them MS-DOS bootable
|
|
|
|
floppies. (i.e. don't use "format /s"!)
|
|
|
|
(If you use "format /u" then the format
|
|
|
|
will run a tad faster).

|
|
Copy all of the "<set>_tgz.xx" files on
|
|
|
|
the DOS disks. Under DOS use the DOS copy
|
|
|
|
command. Under 386BSD, use, for instance,
|
|
|
|
the make_floppies script:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
N_PER_DISK=5
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
x=$N_PER_DISK
|
|
|
|
for dist in bin_tgz.*; do
|
|
|
|
if [ $x -ge $N_PER_DISK ]; then
|
|
|
|
x=0
|
|
|
|
echo "Insert next disk"
|
|
|
|
echo "And press ENTER..."
|
|
|
|
read reply
|
|
|
|
mdel a:/\*
|
|
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
mcopy $dist a:/
|
|
|
|
x=`expr $x + 1`
|
|
|
|
done
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(Or you might use tar instead).
|
|
|
|
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
Once you have the files on DOS disks, you can proceed to the
|
|
|
|
next step in the installation process, viz preparing your hard
|
|
|
|
disk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To prepare for installing via a tape:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install FreeBSD from a tape, you need to be somehow
|
|
|
|
to get the FreeBSD filesets you wish to install on
|
|
|
|
your system on to the appropriate kind of tape,
|
|
|
|
in tar format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're making the tape on a UN*X system, the easiest
|
|
|
|
way to do so is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tar cvf <tape_device> <files>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where "<tape_device>" is the name of the tape device
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
that describes the tape drive you're using (either
|
|
|
|
/dev/rst0 for SCSI tape, otherwise /dev/rwt0).
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
If you can't figure it out, ask your system administrator.
|
|
|
|
"<files>" are the names of the "<set>.tar.gz.xx" files
|
|
|
|
which you want to be placed on the tape.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To prepare for installing via an NFS partition:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: this method of installation is recommended
|
|
|
|
only for those already familiar with using
|
|
|
|
the BSD network-manipulation commands and
|
|
|
|
interfaces. If you aren't, this documentation
|
|
|
|
should help, but is not intended to be
|
|
|
|
all-encompassing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Place the FreeBSD software you wish to install into
|
|
|
|
a directory on an NFS server, and make that directory
|
|
|
|
mountable by the machine which you will be installing
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD on. This will probably require modifying the
|
|
|
|
/etc/exports file of the NFS server and resetting
|
|
|
|
mountd, acts which will require superuser privileges.
|
|
|
|
Make a note of the numeric IP address of the NFS server
|
|
|
|
and make a note of the router closest to the the new
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD machine if the NFS server is not on a network
|
|
|
|
which is directly attached to the FreeBSD machine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have done this, you can proceed to the next
|
|
|
|
step in the installation process, preparing your hard disk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To prepare for installing via FTP:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: this method of installation is recommended
|
|
|
|
only for those already familiar with using
|
|
|
|
the BSD network-manipulation commands and
|
|
|
|
interfaces. If you aren't, this documentation
|
|
|
|
should help, but is not intended to be
|
|
|
|
all-encompassing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The preparations for this method of installation
|
|
|
|
are easy: all you have to do is make sure that
|
|
|
|
there's some FTP site from which you can retrieve
|
|
|
|
the FreeBSD installation when it's time to do
|
|
|
|
the install. You should know the numeric IP
|
|
|
|
address of that site, and the numeric IP address of
|
|
|
|
your nearest router if the new FreeBSD computer is
|
|
|
|
not on the same net or subnet as the FTP site.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have done this, you can proceed to the next
|
|
|
|
step in the installation process, preparing your hard disk.
|
|
|
|
|
1993-09-14 02:36:09 +00:00
|
|
|
To prepare for installing via Kermit:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The preparations for this method of installation
|
|
|
|
require that the kermit program be put on the
|
|
|
|
dos-floppy installation disk. This will be
|
|
|
|
loaded as part of the minimum base installation.
|
|
|
|
Kermit is available from tools directory of the
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD FTP site. This is a FreeBSD binary and
|
|
|
|
only executes under the FreeBSD operating system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have done this, you can proceed to the next
|
|
|
|
step in the installation process, preparing your hard disk.
|
|
|
|

|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
To upgrade:
|
|
|
|
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00

Preparing your Hard Disk for FreeBSD Installation:
|
|
|
|
--------- ---- ---- ---- --- ------ ------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If you wish to install FreeBSD on your whole drive, (i.e. you do
|
|
|
|
not want DOS or any other operating system on your hard disk), you can
|
|
|
|
skip this section, and go on to "Installing the FreeBSD System."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Firstly, be sure you have a reliable backup of any data which you may
|
|
|
|
want to keep; repartitioning your hard drive is an excellent way to
|
|
|
|
destroy important data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
WARNING: If you are using a disk controller which supports disk
|
|
|
|
geometry translation, BE SURE TO USE THE SAME PARAMETERS FOR FreeBSD AS
|
|
|
|
FOR DOS! If you do not, FreeBSD will not be able to properly coexist
|
|
|
|
with DOS.
|
|
|
|
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
Secondly, make sure your disk has at least 16 Mbytes free space (or
|
|
|
|
70 Mbytes for the complete binary distribition).
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You are now set to install FreeBSD on your hard drive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing the FreeBSD System:
|
|
|
|
---------- --- ------ ------
|
|
|
|
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
If DOS or OS/2 is already installed on the hard disk, installation should
|
|
|
|
be easy. By default FreeBSD is installed after the last DOS or OS/2
|
|
|
|
partition. Otherwise, you may need to specify your hard disk's geometry
|
|
|
|
(i.e., number of cylinders, heads and sectors per track).
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
For computing partition sizes, it might help to have a calculator handy.
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
And it's finally time to install the system!
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following is a walk-through of the steps necessary to get FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
installed on your hard disk. If you wish to stop the installation, you
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
may hit Control-C at any prompt and then type `halt'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Boot from the kcopy-ah or kcopy-bt floppy, depending on
|
|
|
|
your hard disk controller type.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When prompted to insert the filesystem floppy, remove the
|
|
|
|
kcopy floppy from the drive and insert filesystem floppy
|
|
|
|
and hit any key.
|
|
|
|
N.B.: The filesystem floppy must not be write protected.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[When booting, if no message prompt appears after a
|
|
|
|
reasonable period of time, reboot and try it again. If
|
|
|
|
this doesn't work, try disabling your CPU's internal and
|
|
|
|
external caches, and then try to boot again. If there is
|
|
|
|
still no message prompt, then you can't install FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
on your hardware. If you were able to install 386bsd,
|
|
|
|
this is definitely a bug in our software; please report
|
|
|
|
it! Please include your system configuration, and any
|
|
|
|
other relevant information in your bug report.]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The boot sequence continues after the filesystem floppy
|
|
|
|
has been inserted. A copyright notice is displayed along
|
|
|
|
with a list of the hardware that FreeBSD recognizes as
|
|
|
|
being in your machine. You might want to make a note of
|
|
|
|
the disk values for cylinders, heads, sectors etc for
|
|
|
|
later use.
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After a short while (approximately 30 to 60 seconds), you
|
|
|
|
should see a welcome message and a prompt, asking if you
|
|
|
|
wish to proceed with the installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you wish to proceed, enter "y" and then return.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will then be asked what type of disk drive you have.
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
The valid options are listed on the screen (e.g., SCSI, ESDI).
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will then be asked for a label name for your disk.
|
|
|
|
This should be a short, one-word name for your disk,
|
|
|
|
e.g. "cp3100-mine" for a Conner Peripherals "3100" disk.
|
|
|
|
You needn't remember this name.
|
|
|
|
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
Next, you will be prompted for the geometry information.
|
|
|
|
The default values should be correct, in which case just
|
|
|
|
hit ENTER to accept them. Otherwise enter the values
|
|
|
|
that were displayed during the boot sequence as they are
|
|
|
|
requested.
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
The default size of the FreeBSD portion of the disk
|
|
|
|
is the maximum available at the end of the disk (which may
|
|
|
|
be the whole disk). Accept the default by hitting ENTER.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, enter an appropriate value using the information
|
|
|
|
displayed.
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are not installing on the whole disk, you will be
|
|
|
|
asked for the offset of the FreeBSD partition from the
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
beginning of the disk. Again, hit ENTER to accept the
|
|
|
|
default, or enter a cylinder offset from the beginning of
|
|
|
|
the disk.
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will then be asked for the size of your root partition,
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
in cylinders. The suggested maximum size is 15 Mbytes
|
|
|
|
which is used as a default. Accept this, or enter a
|
|
|
|
suitable value (after converting to cylinders using the
|
|
|
|
formula displayed).
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, you will be asked for the size of your swap partition
|
|
|
|
- again, you must calculate this in cylinders. You should
|
|
|
|
probably allocate around twice as much swap space as you
|
|
|
|
have real memory. If you wish the system to save crash dumps
|
|
|
|
when it panics, you will need at least as much swap as you
|
|
|
|
have RAM.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The install program will then ask you for information about
|
|
|
|
the rest of the partitions you want on your disk. For the
|
|
|
|
purposes of this document, you only want one more: /usr.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, at the prompt, when in asks you to enter the size
|
|
|
|
of the next partition, enter the number of cylinders remaining
|
|
|
|
in the FreeBSD portion of the disk. When it asks you for the
|
|
|
|
mount point for this partition, say "/usr".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
YOU ARE NOW AT THE POINT OF NO RETURN.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you confirm that you want to install FreeBSD, your hard
|
|
|
|
drive will be modified, and perhaps it contents scrambled at
|
|
|
|
the whim of the install program. This is especially likely
|
|
|
|
if you gave the install program incorrect information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are sure you want to proceed, enter "yes" at the prompt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The install program will now make the filesystems you
|
|
|
|
specified. There should be no errors in this section of the
|
|
|
|
installation. If there are, restart from the the beginning
|
|
|
|
of the installation process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the installation program prompts you to see if you'd
|
|
|
|
like to be told about all of the files it's going to copy
|
|
|
|
to your hard drive, it will spend a few minutes copying these
|
|
|
|
files and then will print out an informative message and
|
|
|
|
place you at a "#" prompt.
|
|
|
|
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
Read the message and note which partition (e.g., sd0a or wd0a)
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
you need to copy a kernel to. Reboot the machine off the
|
|
|
|
kcopy-xx-floppy disk, but this time at the prompt asking
|
|
|
|
you to insert a file system floppy, do _not_ replace the
|
|
|
|
floppy, just press <enter>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the "kc>" prompt, enter "copy" to prepare to copy the
|
|
|
|
kernel on the floppy to your hard disk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the next "kc>" prompt, enter the disk partition to which
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
you want to copy the kernel. (e.g., sd0a or wd0a).
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It will work for a minute or two, then present you with
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
another "#" prompt. Follow the instructions given, (i.e.,
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
halt the system) and reboot from the hard disk. You will
|
|
|
|
probably have to do a hardware reset or else your ethernet
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
card might not be recognised at reboot (e.g., if you have a
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
WD8003EP card).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the machine boots, a three-line banner should appear at
|
|
|
|
the top of the screen. In a few seconds, a series of
|
|
|
|
messages will appear, describing the hardware in your machine.
|
|
|
|
Once again, this stage can take up to two minutes, so DO NOT
|
|
|
|
PANIC!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will be asked to insert the cpio-floppy into a floppy
|
|
|
|
drive, and enter that drive's number. "0" corresponds to
|
|
|
|
DOS's "A:" drive, "1" corresponds to DOS's "B:" drive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After you enter the number it will ask you if you'd like to
|
|
|
|
watch its progress, and after you answer this question it
|
|
|
|
will begin installing still more files on your hard disk.
|
|
|
|
This should take no more than 3 minutes.
|
|
|
|
|
1993-09-14 02:36:09 +00:00
|
|
|
You are given the option to load the dos-floppy disk.
|
|
|
|
In particular, if you want to use kermit for downloading
|
|
|
|
the distribution, the dos-floppy should have the kermit
|
|
|
|
binary. If loading it, remove the cpio-floppy from the
|
|
|
|
drive, insert the dos-floppy and enter a "yes" response
|
|
|
|
at the prompt. Otherwise, enter "no" at the prompt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the dos-floppy has been loaded, you are given (more)
|
|
|
|
instructions, (e.g., to halt the system) and you should
|
|
|
|
reboot the machine again, from the hard drive and probably
|
|
|
|
with a hardware reset to kick your ethernet card back into
|
|
|
|
life.
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONGRATULATIONS: You now have the minimum base of FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
files on your hard disk! Now you get to install the
|
|
|
|
distribution file sets. Remember that, at minimum, you must
|
|
|
|
install the bin.tar.gz.xx file set (see below for
|
|
|
|
instructions).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the machine is done booting, you will be presented
|
|
|
|
with a screenful of information about what to do next.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What you do from this point on depends on which media you're
|
|
|
|
using to install FreeBSD. Follow the appropriate
|
|
|
|
instructions, given below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install from tape or floppy:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first thing you should do is to choose a temporary
|
|
|
|
directory where the distribution files can be stored.
|
|
|
|
To do this, use the command "set_tmp_dir" and enter
|
|
|
|
your choice. The default is /usr/distrib.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After you have chosen a temporary directory,
|
|
|
|
you should issue the appropriate load command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
load_fd if you're loading from floppies
|
|
|
|
(NOTE: as of time of writing these notes,
|
|
|
|
this does not work).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
load_qic_tape if loading from QIC-02 tape
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
load_scsi_tape if you're loading from the first
|
|
|
|
SCSI tape drive in the system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will then be prompted for information as to which
|
|
|
|
floppy drive to load from, if you choose that
|
|
|
|
method of installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, you will be told to insert the media into
|
|
|
|
the appropriate drive, and hit return. Continue
|
|
|
|
to follow instructions until you are returned to
|
|
|
|
the "#" prompt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Go to the directory which contains the first
|
|
|
|
distribution set you wish to install. This is
|
|
|
|
either the directory you specified above, if loading
|
|
|
|
from floppy, or possibly a subdirectory of that
|
|
|
|
directory, if you loaded from tape.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When there, run "set_tmp_dir" again, and choose
|
|
|
|
the default temporary directory, by hitting
|
|
|
|
return at the prompt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run the "extract" command, giving it as its sole
|
|
|
|
argument the name of the distribution set you
|
|
|
|
wish to extract. For example, to extract the binary
|
|
|
|
distribution, use the command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
extract bin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and to extract the source distribution:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
extract src
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the extraction is complete, go to the location
|
|
|
|
of the next set you want to extract, "set_tmp_dir"
|
|
|
|
again, and once again issue the appropriate
|
|
|
|
extract command. Continue this process until
|
|
|
|
you've finished installing all of the sets which you
|
|
|
|
desire to have on your hard disk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After each set is finished, if you know that you
|
|
|
|
are running low on space you can remove the
|
|
|
|
distribution files for that set by saying:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rm <set>*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, if you wish to remove the distribution
|
|
|
|
files for the binarydist set, after the "extract bin"
|
|
|
|
command has completed, issue the command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rm bin*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have extracted all sets and are at the "#" prompt
|
|
|
|
again, proceed to the section "Configuring Your System,"
|
|
|
|
below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install via FTP or NFS:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First you must decide on a temporary directory to hold
|
|
|
|
the <set>.tar.gz.xx files. The directory /usr/distrib
|
|
|
|
is suggested. You should cd to it, if necessary do
|
|
|
|
a mkdir first. Use set_tmp_dir to identify this
|
|
|
|
directory to the install process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configure the appropriate ethernet interface (e.g. ed0,
|
|
|
|
ne0, etc.) up, with a command like:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ifconfig <ifname> <ipaddr> [netmask <netmask>]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where <ifname> is the interface name (e.g. ed0, etc.),
|
|
|
|
and <ipaddr> is the numeric IP address of the interface.
|
|
|
|
If the interface has a special netmask, supply
|
|
|
|
the word "netmask" and that netmask at the end of the
|
|
|
|
command line. For instance, without a special netmask:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ifconfig ed0 129.133.10.10
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or with a special netmask
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ifconfig ed0 128.32.240.167 netmask 0xffffff00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or the equivalent
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ifconfig ed0 128.32.240.167 netmask 255.255.255.0
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using the AUI connector on a 3C503 card, you
|
|
|
|
must also set the LLC0 flag (the default is to use the BNC
|
|
|
|
connector):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ifconfig ed0 130.252.23.86 llc0
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the NFS server or FTP server is not on a directly-
|
|
|
|
connected network, you should set up a route to it
|
|
|
|
with the command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
route add default <gate_ipaddr>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where <gate_ipaddr> is your gateway's numeric IP address.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are NFS-mounting the distribution sets,
|
|
|
|
mount them on the temporary directory with the command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mount -t nfs <serv_ipaddr>:<dist_dir> <tmp_dir>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where <serv_ipaddr> is the server's numeric IP address,
|
|
|
|
<dist_dir> is the path to the distribution files on
|
|
|
|
the server, and <tmp_dir> is the name of the local
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
temporary directory (e.g., /usr/distrib). Proceed as if
|
|
|
|
you had loaded the files from tape, "cd"ing to the
|
|
|
|
appropriate directories and running "set_tmp_dir" and
|
|
|
|
"extract" as appropriate.
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are retrieving the distribution sets using ftp,
|
|
|
|
cd into the temp directory, and execute the command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ftp <serv_ipaddr>
|
|
|
|
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
where <serv_ipaddr> is the server's numeric IP address.
|
|
|
|
Get the files with FTP, taking care to use binary mode
|
|
|
|
to transfer all files. A simple set of commands is
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ftp <serv_ipaddr>
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
user ftp
|
|
|
|
passwd <user-id>@
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
hash
|
|
|
|
binary
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
prompt
|
|
|
|
cd <where/the/binarydist/files/are>
|
|
|
|
mget *
|
|
|
|
cd <where/the/sourcedist/files/are>
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
mget *
|
|
|
|
quit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have all of the files for the distribution sets
|
|
|
|
that you wish to install, you can proceed using the
|
|
|
|
instructions above as if you had installed the files
|
|
|
|
from a floppy.
|
|
|
|
|
1993-09-14 02:36:09 +00:00
|
|
|
To install via Kermit:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First you must decide on a temporary directory to hold
|
|
|
|
the <set>.tar.gz.xx files. The directory /usr/distrib
|
|
|
|
is suggested. You should cd to it, if necessary do
|
|
|
|
a mkdir first. Use set_tmp_dir to identify this
|
|
|
|
directory to the install process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Invoke kermit and dial the remote kermit server.
|
|
|
|
A typical session might be:
|
|
|
|
# stty -f /dev/sio01 clocal
|
|
|
|
# kermit
|
|
|
|
C-Kermit> set line /dev/sio01
|
|
|
|
C-Kermit> set baud 9600
|
|
|
|
C-Kermit> set receive packet 740
|
|
|
|
C-Kermit> set window 4
|
|
|
|
C-Kermit> set block 2
|
|
|
|
C-Kermit> connect
|
|
|
|
Connecting to /dev/sio01, speed 9600.
|
|
|
|
The escape character is Ctrl-\ (ASCII 28, FS)
|
|
|
|
Type the escape character followed by C to get back,
|
|
|
|
or followed by ? to see other options.
|
|
|
|
atdt 1234567 <-- dial the remote
|
|
|
|
Connect 9600
|
|
|
|
login: mylogin <-- login to the remote
|
|
|
|
remote$ kermit -x <-- invoke remote kermit as server
|
|
|
|
C-Kermit server starting. Return to your local machine by typing
|
|
|
|
its escape sequence for closing the connection, and issue further
|
|
|
|
commands from there. To shut down the C-Kermit server, issue the
|
|
|
|
BYE command to logout, or the FINISH command and then reconnect.
|
|
|
|
^\C <-- return to local kermit
|
|
|
|
C-Kermit> get bin_tgz* <-- request files from remote
|
|
|
|
... (wait long for transfer to complete)
|
|
|
|
C-Kermit> finish <-- terminate remote server
|
|
|
|
C-Kermit> connect
|
|
|
|
C-Kermit> exit <-- exit remote kermit
|
|
|
|
remote$ exit <-- exit remote host
|
|
|
|
^\C <-- return to local kermit
|
|
|
|
C-Kermit> exit <-- exit local kermit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At this point the binary distribution should be
|
|
|
|
downloaded to the FreeBSD system. Run the "extract"
|
|
|
|
command, giving it as its sole argument the name
|
|
|
|
of the distribution set you wish to extract. For
|
|
|
|
example, to extract the binary distribution, use
|
|
|
|
the command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
extract bin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and to extract the source distribution:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
extract src
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the extraction is complete, go to the location
|
|
|
|
of the next set you want to extract, "set_tmp_dir"
|
|
|
|
again, and once again issue the appropriate
|
|
|
|
extract command. Continue this process until
|
|
|
|
you've finished installing all of the sets which you
|
|
|
|
desire to have on your hard disk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After each set is finished, if you know that you
|
|
|
|
are running low on space you can remove the
|
|
|
|
distribution files for that set by saying:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rm <set>*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, if you wish to remove the distribution
|
|
|
|
files for the binarydist set, after the "extract bin"
|
|
|
|
command has completed, issue the command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rm bin*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have extracted all sets and are at the "#" prompt
|
|
|
|
again, proceed to the section "Configuring Your System,"
|
|
|
|
below.

Further Tips on Installing FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
------- ---- -- ---------- -------
|
|
|
|
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
You might wish to install the binarydist first, get that
|
|
|
|
working, and then at a later point in time have a go at
|
|
|
|
installing the sourcedist. BEFORE YOU REBOOT AFTER INSTALLING
|
|
|
|
THE BINARYDIS, you must preserve the commands that do the
|
|
|
|
extracting. They are kept in the single-user-mode .profile
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
file called /.profile. Proceed like this:
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mv /.profile /.profile.install
|
|
|
|
ln /root/.profile /.profile
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you are ready to install the sourcedist at some time
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
in the future, get into multi-user mode (i.e., the normal
|
|
|
|
means of running FreeBSD) and issue these commands:
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cp /.profile.install /.profile
|
|
|
|
shutdown now
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will cause the system to go into single-user mode, and
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
the install profile will be active (i.e., you will find the
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
commands load_fd, extract etc available to you again).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuring Your System:
|
|
|
|
----------- ---- ------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have finished extracting all of the distribution sets that you
|
|
|
|
want on your hard drive and are back at the "#" prompt, you are ready
|
|
|
|
to configure your system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The configuration utility expects that you have installed the base
|
|
|
|
system. If you have not, you will not be able to run it successfully
|
|
|
|
(nor will you have a functional system regardless of configuration).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To configure the newly installed operating system, run the command
|
|
|
|
"configure".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configure will ask for the machine's hostname, domain name, and other
|
1993-09-13 13:37:21 +00:00
|
|
|
network configuration information. You should check that configure has
|
|
|
|
set up the following files correctly:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/netstart
|
|
|
|
/etc/myname
|
1993-09-08 22:27:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have supplied configure all that it requests, your machine
|
|
|
|
will be configured well enough that when you reboot it it will be a
|
|
|
|
completely functional FreeBSD system. It is not completely configured,
|
|
|
|
however; you should adjust the /etc/sendmail.cf file as necessary to
|
|
|
|
suit your site and/or disable sendmail in /etc/rc and you should look
|
|
|
|
in /etc/netstart to make sure the flags are defined correctly for your
|
|
|
|
site. You might wish to set up several other tcp/ip files, such as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/resolv.conf
|
|
|
|
/etc/networks
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you are done with configuration, reboot with the "reboot" command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When it boots off of the hard drive, you will have a complete FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
system! CONGRATULATIONS! (You really deserve them!!!)
