.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm sysinstall
|
|
.Nd system installation and configuration tool
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Ar var=value
|
|
.Op Ar function
|
|
.Op Ar ...
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is used for installing and configuring
|
|
.Fx
|
|
systems.
|
|
It is the first utility invoked by the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
installation boot
|
|
floppy and is also available as
|
|
.Pa /usr/sbin/sysinstall
|
|
on newly installed
|
|
.Fx
|
|
systems for use in later configuring the system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is generally invoked without arguments for the default
|
|
behavior, where the main installation/configuration menu is presented.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
On those occasions where it is deemed necessary to invoke a subsystem
|
|
of sysinstall directly, however, it is also possible to do so by
|
|
naming the appropriate function entry points on the command line.
|
|
Since this action is essentially identical to running an installation
|
|
script, each command-line argument corresponding to a line of script,
|
|
the reader is encouraged to read the section on scripting for more
|
|
information on this feature.
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is essentially nothing more than a monolithic C program with
|
|
the ability to write MBRs and disk labels (through the services
|
|
of the
|
|
.Xr libdisk 3
|
|
library) and install distributions or packages onto new and
|
|
existing
|
|
.Fx
|
|
systems. It also contains some extra intelligence
|
|
for running as a replacement for
|
|
.Xr init 8
|
|
when it's invoked by the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
installation boot procedure. It
|
|
assumes very little in the way of additional utility support and
|
|
performs most file system operations by calling the relevant syscalls
|
|
(such as
|
|
.Xr mount 2 )
|
|
directly.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility currently uses the
|
|
.Xr dialog 3
|
|
library to do user interaction with simple ANSI line graphics, color
|
|
support for which is enabled by either running on a syscons VTY or some
|
|
other color-capable terminal emulator (newer versions of xterm will support
|
|
color when using the
|
|
.Dq xterm-color
|
|
termcap entry).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This product is currently at the end of its life cycle and will
|
|
eventually be replaced.
|
|
.Sh RUNNING SCRIPTS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility may be either driven interactively through its various internal menus
|
|
or run in batch mode, driven by an external script. Such a script may
|
|
be loaded and executed in one of 3 ways:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Sy "LOAD_CONFIG_FILE"
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is compiled with LOAD_CONFIG_FILE set in the environment
|
|
(or in the Makefile) to some value, then that value will
|
|
be used as the filename to automatically look for and load
|
|
when
|
|
.Nm
|
|
starts up and with no user interaction required.
|
|
This option is aimed primarily at large sites who wish to create a
|
|
single prototype install for multiple machines with largely identical
|
|
configurations and/or installation options.
|
|
.It Sy "MAIN MENU"
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is run interactively, that is to say in the default manner, it will
|
|
bring up a main menu which contains a "load config file" option.
|
|
Selecting this option will prompt for the name of a script file which
|
|
it then will attempt to load from a DOS or UFS formatted floppy.
|
|
.It Sy "COMMAND LINE"
|
|
Each command line argument is treated as a script directive
|
|
when
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is run in multi-user mode. Execution ends either by explicit request
|
|
(e.g. calling the
|
|
.Ar shutdown
|
|
directive), upon reaching the end of the argument list or on error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
/usr/sbin/sysinstall _ftpPath=ftp://ziggy/pub/ mediaSetFTP configPackages
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Would initialize
|
|
.Nm
|
|
for FTP installation media (using the server `ziggy') and then
|
|
bring up the package installation editor, exiting when finished.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh SCRIPT SYNTAX
|
|
A script is a list of one or more directives, each directive taking
|
|
the form of:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar var=value
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar function
|
|
.Pp
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar #somecomment
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Where
|
|
.Ar var=value
|
|
is the assignment of some internal
|
|
.Nm
|
|
variable, e.g. "ftpPass=FuNkYChiKn", and
|
|
.Ar function
|
|
is the name of an internal
|
|
.Nm
|
|
function, e.g. "mediaSetFTP", and
|
|
.Ar #comment
|
|
is a single-line comment for documentation purposes (ignored by
|
|
sysinstall). Each directive must be by itself on a single line,
|
|
functions taking their arguments by examining known variable names.
|
|
This requires that you be sure to assign the relevant variables before
|
|
calling a function which requires them.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar noError
|
|
variable can be assigned before each directive: this will cause any error
|
|
detected while processing the directive itself to be ignored.
|
|
The value of
|
|
.Ar noError
|
|
will automatically reset to the default "unassigned" every time a directive is
|
|
processed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When and where a function depends on the settings of one or more variables
|
|
will be noted in the following table:

|
|
Default: none.
|
|
.It diskInteractive
|
|
If set, bring up the interactive disk partition editor.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note: Nothing is actually written to disk by this function, an explicit call to
|
|
.Ar diskPartitionWrite
|
|
being required for that to happen.
|
|
.It diskPartitionWrite
|
|
Causes any pending MBR changes (typically from the
|
|
.Ar diskPartitionEditor
|
|
function) to be written out.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sy Variables :
|
|
None
|
|
.It diskLabelEditor
|
|
Invokes the disk label editor. This is a bit trickier from a script
|
|
since you need to essentially label everything inside each
|
|
.Fx
|
|
(type 0xA5) partition created by the
|
|
.Ar diskPartitionEditor
|
|
function, and that requires knowing a few rules about how things are
|
|
laid out. When creating a script to automatically allocate disk space
|
|
and partition it up, it is suggested that you first perform the
|
|
installation interactively at least once and take careful notes as to
|
|
what the slice names will be, then and only then hardwiring them into
|
|
the script.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For example, let's say you have a SCSI disk on which you've created a new
|
|
.Fx
|
|
partition in slice 2 (your DOS partition residing in slice 1).
|
|
The slice name would be
|
|
.Ar da0s2
|
|
for the whole
|
|
.Fx
|
|
partition
|
|
.Ar ( da0s1
|
|
being your DOS primary
|
|
partition). Now let's further assume that you have 500MB in this
|
|
partition and you want to sub-partition that space into root, swap,
|
|
var and usr file systems for
|
|
.Fx .
|
|
Your invocation of the
|
|
.Ar diskLabelEditor
|
|
function might involve setting the following variables:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width findx
|
|
.It Li "da0s2-1=ufs 40960 /"
|
|
A 20MB root file system (all sizes are in 512 byte blocks).
|
|
.It Li "da0s2-2=swap 131072 /"
|
|
A 64MB swap partition.
|
|
.It Li "da0s2-3=ufs 204800 /var"
|
|
A 100MB /var file system.
|
|
.It Li "da0s2-4=ufs 0 /usr 1"
|
|
With the balance of free space (around 316MB) going to the /usr
|
|
file system and with soft-updates enabled (the argument following
|
|
the mount point, if non-zero, means to set the soft updates flag).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
One can also use the
|
|
.Ar diskLabelEditor
|
|
for mounting or erasing existing partitions as well as creating new
|
|
ones. Using the previous example again, let's say that we also wanted
|
|
to mount our DOS partition and make sure that an
|
|
.Pa /etc/fstab
|
|
entry is created for it in the new installation. Before calling the
|
|
.Ar diskLabelEditor
|
|
function, we simply add an additional line:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "da0s1=/dos_c N"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
before the call. This tells the label editor that you want to mount
|
|
the first slice on
|
|
.Pa /dos_c
|
|
and not to attempt to newfs it (not that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
would attempt this for a DOS partition in any case, but it could just
|
|
as easily be an existing UFS partition being named here and the 2nd
|
|
field is non-optional).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You can also set the
|
|
.Ar diskInteractive
|
|
variable to request that the disk label editor use an interactive dialog
|
|
to partition the disk instead of using variables to explicitly layout the
|
|
disk as described above.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note: No file system data is actually written to disk until an
|
|
explicit call to
|
|
.Ar diskLabelCommit
|
|
is made.
|
|
.It diskLabelCommit
|
|
Writes out all pending disklabel information and creates and/or mounts any
|
|
file systems which have requests pending from the
|
|
.Ar diskLabelEditor
|
|
function.
|
|

.Sh DISTRIBUTION MEDIA
|
|
The following files can be used to affect the operation of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
when used during initial system installation.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Pa packages/INDEX"
|
|
.It Pa cdrom.inf
|
|
A text file of properties, listed one per line, that describe the
|
|
contents of the media in use.
|
|
The syntax for each line is simply
|
|
.Dq Ar property No = Ar value .
|
|
Currently, only the following properties are recognized.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Va CD_MACHINE_ARCH"
|
|
.It Va CD_VERSION
|
|
This property should be set to the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
version on the current
|
|
media volume.
|
|
For example,
|
|
.Dq Li "CD_VERSION = 4.6" .
|
|
.It Va CD_MACHINE_ARCH
|
|
This property should be set to the architecture of the contents on
|
|
this volume.
|
|
This property is normally only used with
|
|
.Fx
|
|
products that contain
|
|
CDs for different architectures, to provide better error messages if
|
|
users try to install Alpha packages on an i386 machine.
|
|
For example,
|
|
.Dq Li "CD_MACHINE_ARCH = alpha" .
|
|
.It Va VOLUME
|
|
In a multi-volume collection (such as the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
4-CD set), the
|
|
.Pa ports/INDEX
|
|
file on each disc should contain the full package index for the set.
|
|
The last field of the
|
|
.Pa INDEX
|
|
file denotes which volume the package
|
|
appears on, and the
|
|
.Va VOLUME
|
|
property here defines the volume ID of the current disc.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Pa packages/INDEX
|
|
The package index file.
|
|
Each package is listed on a separate line with additional meta-data
|
|
such as the required dependencies.
|
|
This index is generated by
|
|
.Dq Li "make index"
|
|
from the
|
|
.Xr ports 7
|
|
collection.
|
|
When multi-volume support is enabled, an additional field should be
|
|
added to each line indicating which media volume contains the given
|
|
package.
