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: #Partitioning the hard disk
28:
29: Now we're going to partition the disk. Enter:
30:
1.2 maya 31: # pdisk /dev/rwd0c
1.1 mspo 32:
33: to start the pdisk program. Create a new partition map using i.
34:
35: Create a partition with offset at 2p with the size 32m and type Apple_HFS using the C option. Name it boot.
36:
37: 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.
38:
39: Create a partition with offset at 4p with size Xg and bzb bit b (swap) using the c option. Name is swap.
40:
41: If you want to create further partitions like /tmp /var /home do the following
42:
43: Create a partition with offset at 5p with size 1g and bzb bit e (tmp) using c option. Name is tmp.
44:
45: Create a partition with offset at 6p with size 1g and bzb bit f (var) using c option. Name is var.
46:
47: Create a partition with offset at 7p with size 5g and bzb bit g (usr) using c option. Name is usr.
48:
49: Dump the partition configuration using p.
50:
51: If you have configured the new partition map, it should look like this:
52: <pre><code>
53: 1: Apple partition map
54: 2: 32m HFS boot
55: 3: 1g Apple_UNIX_SVR2 root / a
56: 4: 1g Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap b
57: 5: 1g Apple_UNIX_SVR2 tmp e
58: 6: 1g Apple_UNIX_SVR2 var f
59: 7: 5g Apple_UNIX_SVR2 usr /usr g
60: 8: *g Apple_UNIX_SVR2 home h
61: </code></pre>
62: Write the partition map using w.
63:
64: #Newfs
65:
66: Now newfs your partitions:
67:
1.5 maya 68: # newfs /dev/rwd0x
69:
1.6 ! maya 70: Replacing x with the partition name.
1.1 mspo 71:
72: Note: Don't care about error messages that newfs couldn't touch the disklabel - that's right since we've created everything with pdisk.
73:
74: #Mounting root
75:
76: Mount the root partition to /mnt2 and create following directories:
77:
78: # mount /dev/wd0a /mnt2
79: # cd /mnt2
80: # mkdir etc tmp usr var home
81:
82: #Create fstab
83:
84: Create the file fstab that should match your wd0 disklabel configuration.
85:
86: # echo /dev/wd0a / ffs rw 1 1 >> /mnt2/etc/fstab
87: # echo /dev/wd0b none swap sw 0 0 >> /mnt2/etc/fstab
88: # echo /dev/wd0e /tmp ffs rw 1 2 >> /mnt2/etc/fstab
89: # echo /dev/wd0g /var ffs rw 1 2 >> /mnt2/etc/fstab
90: # echo /dev/wd0f /usr ffs rw 1 2 >> /mnt2/etc/fstab
91: # echo /dev/wd0h /home ffs rw 1 2 >> /mnt2/etc/fstab
1.4 maya 92: # echo ptyfs /dev/pts ptyfs rw 0 0 >> /mnt2/etc/fstab
1.1 mspo 93:
94: #Umount
95:
96: Unmount /mnt2 again and enter sysinst.
97:
98: # cd /
99: # umount /mnt2
100: # sysinst
101:
102: #Using Sysinst
103:
104: 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.
105:
106: #First boot
107:
108: Now we're ready for the first boot. Exit sysinstall and enter reboot.
109:
110: # reboot
111:
112: Leave the installation CD in your drive and enter:
113:
114: boot cd:,ofwboot.xcf hd:3,/netbsd
115:
116: Wait until netbsd boots into single user mode and use /bin/sh.
117:
118: * Set your terminal to VT100
119:
120: # export TERM=vt100
121:
122: * Remount root read-write using:
123:
124: # mount -uw /
125:
126: Cd to /etc and edit your rc.conf:
127:
128: cd /etc
129: vi rc.conf
130:
131: Please set:
132:
133: rc_configured=YES
134: wscons=YES
135: hostname=my.powermac.g4
1.4 maya 136: dhcpcd=yes
1.1 mspo 137:
1.4 maya 138: Please use /etc/ifconfig.gem0 if you don't have a DHCP Server in your network and remove dhcpcd=yes from rc.conf
1.1 mspo 139:
1.4 maya 140: Right now, set up your network. Either use dhcpcd to configure your network via DHCP
1.1 mspo 141:
1.4 maya 142: # dhcpcd gem0
1.1 mspo 143:
144: or manually specify your network using ifconfig.
145:
146: # ifconfig gem0 192.168.0.124 netmask 255.255.255.0
147:
148: Fetch pkgsrc.tar.gz
149:
150: ftp -a ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/pkgsrc.tar.gz
151:
152: and extract it to /usr
153:
154: tar xvfz pkgsrc.tar.gz -C /usr
155:
156: Install hfsutils from sysutils
157:
158: # cd /usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/hfsutils
159: # make install clean
160:
161: Format your boot partition through:
162:
163: # hformat /dev/wd0d
164:
165: Place your ofwboot.xcf file of your installation cdrom (mount /dev/cd0a /mnt) to that partition:
166:
167: # hcopy /mnt/ofwboot.xcf :
168:
169:
170: Reboot and enter OpenFirmware and enter following commands:
171:
172: # eject cd
173:
174: You don't need the installation disk anymore.
175: <pre><code>
176: reset-nvram
177: setenv auto-boot? false
178: setenv boot-device hd:2,ofwboot.xcf
179: setenv boot-file hd:3,/netbsd
180: reset-all
181: </pre></code>
182: Next time you reboot your mac you get kicked into OpenFirmware directly. Just type:
183:
184: boot
185:
186: and you will boot into NetBSD :-)
