.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm sysinstall
|
|
.Nd system installation and configuration tool
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Ar var=value
|
|
.Op Ar function
|
|
.Op Ar ...
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is a utility for installing and configuring FreeBSD systems.
|
|
It is the first utility invoked by the FreeBSD installation boot
|
|
floppy and is also copied into
|
|
.Pa /stand/sysinstall
|
|
on newly installed FreeBSD systems for use in later configuring the system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
program is generally invoked without arguments for the default
|
|
behavior, where the main installation/configuration menu is presented.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
.Nm
|
|
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 FreeBSD systems. It also contains some extra intelligence
|
|
for running as a replacement for
|
|
.Xr init 8
|
|
when it's invoked by the FreeBSD 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
|
|
.Nm
|
|
currently uses the
|
|
.Xr libdialog 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 ``xterm-color'' termcap entry).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This product is currently at the end of its life cycle and will
|
|
be replaced in FreeBSD 3.0 by the
|
|
.Xr setup 1
|
|
utility.
|
|
.Sh RUNNING SCRIPTS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
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 -compact
|
|
.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:
|
|
.nf
|
|
|
|
/stand/sysinstall ftp=ftp:/ziggy/pub/ mediaSetFTP configPackages
|
|
|
|
.fi
|
|
Would initialize
|
|
.Nm
|
|
for FTP installation media (using the server `ziggy') and then
|
|
bring up the package installation editor, exiting when finished.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sh SCRIPT SYNTAX
|
|
A script is a list of one or more directives, each directive taking
|
|
the form of:
|
|
|
|
.Ar var=value
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar function
|
|
.Pp
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar #somecomment
|
|
|
|
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. When and where a function
|
|
depends on the settings of one or more variables will be noted in the
|
|
following table:

|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note: Nothing is actually written to disk by this function, a 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
|
|
\fBVariables:\fR 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 FreeBSD
|
|
(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
|
|
FreeBSD partition in slice 2 (your DOS partition residing in slice 1).
|
|
The slice name would be
|
|
.Ar sd0s2
|
|
for the whole FreeBSD partition (
|
|
.Ar sd0s1
|
|
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 FreeBSD. Your invocation of the
|
|
.Ar diskLabelEditor
|
|
function might involve setting the following variables:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width findx
|
|
.It Li "sd0s2-1=ufs 40960 /"
|
|
A 20MB root file system (all sizes are in 512 byte blocks).
|
|
.It Li "sd0s2-2=swap 131072 /"
|
|
A 64MB swap partition.
|
|
.It Li "sd0s2-3=ufs 204800 /var"
|
|
A 100MB /var file system.
|
|
.It Li "sd0s2-4=ufs 0 /usr"
|
|
With the balance of free space (around 316MB) going to the /usr
|
|
file system.
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
.nf
|
|
sd0s1=/dos_c N
|
|
|
|
.fi
|
|
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
|
|
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.
|
|

Resets all selected distributions to the empty set (no distributions selected).
