5: #Requirements
6:
7: You will need an Apple Power Macintosh G4, the NetBSD macppc installation CD-ROM and a working internet connection.
8: The installation CD-ROM
9:
10: You can download the NetBSD/macppc installation CD-ROM from the NetBSD [[Mirrors|Get_BSD]].
11: For example from: <ftp://ftp3.de.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/iso/3.0.1/macppccd-3.0.1.iso>
12:
13: #Booting
14:
15: Please hold down the Keys *Apple+Alt+O+F*, after the Apple boot tone sounds to enter OpenFirmeware and enter:
16:
17: boot cd:,ofwboot.xcf netbsd.macppc
18:
19: #Sysinst
20:
21: Now, wait until sysinst shows up, but don't start the normal installation. We need to create an Apple HFS partition first that are readable by OpenFirmware. The current NetBSD disklabel isn't able to create the partitions yet.
22:
23: #Configure the Network
24:
25: Please configure now your integrated gem0 (100baseTX) or wi0 (WLAN) NIC to have an internet connection to match your local network configuration and exit the sysinst program.
26:
27: #Fetching pdisk
28:
29: We will need to fetch pdisk, the partition tool to partition the hard disk. To fetch pdisk from your local ftp mirror enter:
30:
31: # cd /sbin
32: # ftp -a ftp://ftp3.de.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/macppc/netbsd-pdisk/netbsd-pdisk.macppc-1-6
33:
34: and rename it to pdisk
35:
36: # mv netbsd-pdisk.macppc-1-6 pdisk
37:
38: #Partitioning the hard disk
39:
40: Now we're going to partition the disk. Enter:
41:
1.2 ! maya 42: # pdisk /dev/rwd0c
1.1 mspo 43:
44: to start the pdisk program. Create a new partition map using i.
45:
46: Create a partition with offset at 2p with the size 32m and type Apple_HFS using the C option. Name it boot.
47:
48: Create a partition with offset at 3p with size Xg and bzb bit a (root) using the c option. Name is root. Now if you want to have the whole system on one partition (root) assign the rest of disk space here.
49:
50: Create a partition with offset at 4p with size Xg and bzb bit b (swap) using the c option. Name is swap.
51:
52: If you want to create further partitions like /tmp /var /home do the following
53:
54: Create a partition with offset at 5p with size 1g and bzb bit e (tmp) using c option. Name is tmp.
55:
56: Create a partition with offset at 6p with size 1g and bzb bit f (var) using c option. Name is var.
57:
58: Create a partition with offset at 7p with size 5g and bzb bit g (usr) using c option. Name is usr.
59:
60: Dump the partition configuration using p.
61:
62: If you have configured the new partition map, it should look like this:
63: <pre><code>
64: 1: Apple partition map
65: 2: 32m HFS boot
66: 3: 1g Apple_UNIX_SVR2 root / a
67: 4: 1g Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap b
68: 5: 1g Apple_UNIX_SVR2 tmp e
69: 6: 1g Apple_UNIX_SVR2 var f
70: 7: 5g Apple_UNIX_SVR2 usr /usr g
71: 8: *g Apple_UNIX_SVR2 home h
72: </code></pre>
73: Write the partition map using w.
74:
75: #Newfs
76:
77: Now newfs your partitions:
78:
79: # newfs /dev/wd0x
80:
81: Note: Don't care about error messages that newfs couldn't touch the disklabel - that's right since we've created everything with pdisk.
82:
83: #Mounting root
84:
85: Mount the root partition to /mnt2 and create following directories:
86:
87: # mount /dev/wd0a /mnt2
88: # cd /mnt2
89: # mkdir etc tmp usr var home
90:
91: #Create fstab
92:
93: Create the file fstab that should match your wd0 disklabel configuration.
94:
95: # echo /dev/wd0a / ffs rw 1 1 >> /mnt2/etc/fstab
96: # echo /dev/wd0b none swap sw 0 0 >> /mnt2/etc/fstab
97: # echo /dev/wd0e /tmp ffs rw 1 2 >> /mnt2/etc/fstab
98: # echo /dev/wd0g /var ffs rw 1 2 >> /mnt2/etc/fstab
99: # echo /dev/wd0f /usr ffs rw 1 2 >> /mnt2/etc/fstab
100: # echo /dev/wd0h /home ffs rw 1 2 >> /mnt2/etc/fstab
101:
102: #Umount
103:
104: Unmount /mnt2 again and enter sysinst.
105:
106: # cd /
107: # umount /mnt2
108: # sysinst
109:
110: #Using Sysinst
111:
112: In sysinst just use Re-install sets and proceed with the installation. After finishing these steps (equivalent to standard installation and which will create all device nodes in /dev) you can configure your Timezone and set a root password through going to the Utilities menu again.
113:
114: #First boot
115:
116: Now we're ready for the first boot. Exit sysinstall and enter reboot.
117:
118: # reboot
119:
120: Leave the installation CD in your drive and enter:
121:
122: boot cd:,ofwboot.xcf hd:3,/netbsd
123:
124: Wait until netbsd boots into single user mode and use /bin/sh.
125:
126: * Set your terminal to VT100
127:
128: # export TERM=vt100
129:
130: * Remount root read-write using:
131:
132: # mount -uw /
133:
134: Cd to /etc and edit your rc.conf:
135:
136: cd /etc
137: vi rc.conf
138:
139: Please set:
140:
141: rc_configured=YES
142: wscons=YES
143: hostname=my.powermac.g4
144: dhclient=yes
145:
146: Please use /etc/ifconfig.gem0 if you don't have a DHCP Server in your network and remove dhclient=yes from rc.conf
147:
148: Right now, set up your network. Either use dhclient to configure your network via DHCP
149:
150: # dhclient gem0
151:
152: or manually specify your network using ifconfig.
153:
154: # ifconfig gem0 192.168.0.124 netmask 255.255.255.0
155:
156: Fetch pkgsrc.tar.gz
157:
158: ftp -a ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/pkgsrc.tar.gz
159:
160: and extract it to /usr
161:
162: tar xvfz pkgsrc.tar.gz -C /usr
163:
164: Install hfsutils from sysutils
165:
166: # cd /usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/hfsutils
167: # make install clean
168:
169: Format your boot partition through:
170:
171: # hformat /dev/wd0d
172:
173: Place your ofwboot.xcf file of your installation cdrom (mount /dev/cd0a /mnt) to that partition:
174:
175: # hcopy /mnt/ofwboot.xcf :
176:
177:
178: Reboot and enter OpenFirmware and enter following commands:
179:
180: # eject cd
181:
182: You don't need the installation disk anymore.
183: <pre><code>
184: reset-nvram
185: setenv auto-boot? false
186: setenv boot-device hd:2,ofwboot.xcf
187: setenv boot-file hd:3,/netbsd
188: reset-all
189: </pre></code>
190: Next time you reboot your mac you get kicked into OpenFirmware directly. Just type:
191:
192: boot
193:
194: and you will boot into NetBSD :-)
