The
NetBSD
Operating System is a fully functional
Open Source
UNIX-like
operating system derived from the University of California, Berkeley
Networking Release 2 (Net/2), 4.4BSD-Lite, and 4.4BSD-Lite2 sources.
NetBSD
runs on thirty-one different system architectures featuring twelve distinct
families of CPUs, and is being ported to more. The
NetBSD1.5
release contains complete binary releases for fifteen different
machine types. (The sixteen remaining are not fully supported at this time
and are thus not part of the binary distribution. For information on
them, please see the
NetBSD
web site at
http://www.netbsd.org/)
NetBSD
is a completely integrated system.
In addition to its highly portable, high performance kernel,
NetBSD
features a complete set of user utilities, compilers for several
languages, the X Window System, firewall software
and numerous other tools, all accompanied by full source code.
NetBSD
is a creation of the members of the Internet community.
Without the unique cooperation and coordination the net makes
possible, it's likely that
NetBSD
wouldn't exist.
The
NetBSD1.5
release
provides numerous significant functional enhancements, including
support for many new devices, integration of hundreds of bug fixes,
new and updated kernel subsystems, and many userland enhancements. The
result of these improvements is a stable operating system fit for
production use that rivals most commercially available systems.
It is impossible to completely summarize over one year of
development that went into the
NetBSD1.5
release. Some highlights include:
As has been noted, there have also been innumerable bug fixes.
Kernel interfaces have continued to be refined, and more subsystems
and device drivers are shared among the different ports. You can look
for this trend to continue.
NetBSD1.5
is the first major release for the sparc64!
The
NetBSD
Foundation has been incorporated as a non-profit
organization. Its purpose is to encourage, foster and promote the
free exchange of computer software, namely the
NetBSD
Operating
System. The foundation will allow for many things to be handled more
smoothly than could be done with our previous informal organization.
In particular, it provides the framework to deal with other parties
that wish to become involved in the
NetBSD
Project.
The
NetBSD
Foundation will help improve the quality of
NetBSD
by:
We intend to begin narrowing the time delay between releases. Our
ambition is to provide a full release every six to eight months.
We hope to support even
more
hardware in the future, and we have a
rather large number of other ideas about what can be done to improve
NetBSD.
We intend to continue our current practice of making the
NetBSD-current development source available on a daily basis.
We intend to integrate free, positive changes from whatever sources
submit them, providing that they are well thought-out and increase the
usability of the system.
Above all, we hope to create a stable and accessible system, and to be
responsive to the needs and desires of
NetBSD
users, because it is for
and because of them that
NetBSD
exists.
Refer to
http://www.netbsd.org/Sites/net.html.
The root directory of the
NetBSD1.5
release is organized as follows:
In addition to the files and directories listed above, there is one
directory per architecture, for each of the architectures for which
NetBSD1.5
has a binary distribution.
There are also
The source distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the
All the above source sets are located in the
The source sets are distributed as compressed tar files. They may be
unpacked into
The
The split distributions may be reassembled and extracted with
cat
as follows:
In each of the source distribution set directories, there are
files which contain the checksums of the files in the directory:
The MD5 digest is the safest checksum, followed by the POSIX
checksum. The other two checksums are provided only to ensure
that the widest possible range of system can check the integrity
of the release files.
NetBSD
maintains its own set of sources for the X Window System in order to
assure tight integration and compatibility.
These sources are based on XFree86, and tightly track XFree86 releases.
They are currently equivalent to XFree86 3.3.6.
Binary sets for the X Window system are distributed with
NetBSD.
The sets are:
The sparc64 binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files
named with the extension
.tgz, e.g.
The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally
well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that
method, the files are
The minimal configuration requires 16 MB of RAM and ~60 MB of disk space.
To install the entire system requires much more disk space, and to run
X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended, as
NetBSD
with 16 MB of RAM feels like
Solaris
with 16 MB of RAM - slow.
Note that until you have at least 32 MB of RAM, getting more RAM is more
important than getting a faster CPU.
There are a large number of untested PCI drivers that have never
been tested on UltraSPARC PCI systems that may
`just work'.
Installation is supported from several media types, including:
The steps necessary to prepare the distribution sets for installation
depend upon which installation medium you choose.
The steps for the various media are outlined below.

If you're upgrading an existing installation, go directly to the
section on upgrading.
Once you have this information, you can proceed to the next
step in the installation or upgrade process.
If you're installing
NetBSD
from scratch, go to the section on preparing your hard disk, below.
If you're upgrading an existing installation, go directly to
the section on upgrading.
You need to know the numeric IP address of the NFS server,
and, if the server is not on a network directly connected to
the machine on which you're installing or upgrading
NetBSD,
you need to know the numeric IP address of the router closest
to the
NetBSD
machine.
Finally, you need to know the numeric IP address of the
NetBSD
machine itself.
Once the NFS server is set up properly and you have the
information mentioned above, you can proceed to the next step
in the installation or upgrade process.
If you're installing
NetBSD
from scratch, go to the section on preparing your hard disk, below.
If you're upgrading an existing installation, go directly to the

system, the easiest way
to do so is probably something like:

If you're installing
NetBSD/sparc64
for the first time it's a good idea
to look at the partition sizes of disk you intend installing
NetBSD
on.
Asumming a classic partition scheme with

Some network devices (i.e. certain SBus cards)
allow a choice between operating on a UTP or a AUI port. The
Installing
NetBSD
is a relatively complex process, but if you have
this document in hand it shouldn't be too much trouble.
There are several ways to install
NetBSD
onto a disk. The easiest way
in terms of preliminary setup is to use the
NetBSD
miniroot that can
be booted off your local disk's swap partition. Alternatively, if your
UltraSPARC is hooked up in a network you can find a server and arrange
for a diskless setup which is a convenient way to install on a machine
whose disk does not currently hold a usable operating system (see the
section `Installing
NetBSD
by using a diskless setup' below). If you have problems with these, it
is possible to install NetBSD from Solaris (see the section `Installing
NetBSD
using Solaris' below).
Loading the miniroot onto your raw partition is simple. On
NetBSD
as well as
Solaris
you use a command like:
(Here,
After transferring the miniroot to disk, bring the system down by:
Then boot the miniroot by typing the appropriate command at the OpenBoot PROM:
If you've loaded the miniroot onto some other disk than
The monitor boot command will cause the
NetBSD
kernel contained in the
miniroot image to be booted. After the initial probe messages you'll be
asked to start the install or upgrade procedure. Proceed to the section
Running the installation scripts
below.
Your SPARCstation expects to be able to download a second stage bootstrap
program via TFTP after having acquired its IP address through RevARP when
instructed to boot
`over the net'.
It will look for a filename composed of
the machine's IP address followed by the machine's architecture, separated
by a period. For example, a sun4c machine which has been assigned IP
address 130.115.144.11, will make an TFTP request for
After the boot program has been loaded into memory and given control by
the OpenBoot PROM, it starts locating the machine's remote root directory
through the BOOTPARAM protocol. First a BOOTPARAM WHOAMI request is broadcast
on the local net. The answer to this request (if it comes in) contains
the client's name. This name is used in next step, a BOOTPARAM GETFILE
request - sent to the server that responded to the WHOAMI request -
requesting the name and address of the machine that will serve the client's
root directory, as well as the path of the client's root on that server.
Finally, this information (if it comes in) is used to issue a REMOTE MOUNT
request to the client's root file system server, asking for an NFS file
handle corresponding to the root file system. If successful, the boot
program starts reading from the remote root file system in search of the
kernel which is then read into memory.
As noted above in the section
Preparing your System for Nx Installation
you have several options when choosing a location to store the installation
filesets. However, the easiest way is to put the

can also be used, but there'll be error
messages about unknown user and groups. These errors are inconsequential
for the purpose of installing
NetBSD.
However, you may want to correct them
if you plan to use the diskless setup regularly. In that case, you may re-run
MAKEDEV
on your
NetBSD
machine once it has booted.
Boot your workstation from the server by entering the appropriate
boot
command at the monitor prompt. Depending on the OpenBoot PROM version in your
machine, this command takes one of the following forms:
This will boot the
NetBSD
kernel in single-user mode.

When using
At this point, it's worth checking the disk label and partition sizes on
the disk you want to install
NetBSD
onto.
NetBSD
understands
SunOS-style
disklabels, so if your disk was previously used by
SunOS
there will be
a usable label on it. Use
disklabel -e <disk>
or
disklabel -i <disk>
(where
<disk>
is the device name assigned by the
NetBSD
kernel, e.g.
If you are installing on a SCSI disk that does
not
have a
SunOS
or
NetBSD
label on it, you may still be able to use
Here follows an example of what you'll see while in the dislabel editor.

The size and offset fields are given in sector units. Be sure to make
these numbers multiples of the of the number of sectors per cylinder:
the kernel might be picky about these things, but aside from this you'll
have the least chance of wasting disk space.
Partitions on which you intend to have a mountable file system, should
be given fstype
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsz bsz cpg]
a: 50176 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 111)
b: 64512 50176 swap # (Cyl. 112 - 255)
c: 640192 0 unknown # (Cyl. 0 - 1428)
d: 525504 114688 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 256 - 1428)
To begin installation or the upgrade procedure, run sysinst:
Occasionally, you will have to provide a piece of information such as the
name of the disk you want to install on or IP addresses and domain names
you want to assign. If your system has more than one disk, you may want
to look at the output of the
The installation script goes through the following phases:
After your disk has been labelled you need to create filesystems on
your slices. The Solaris newfs command will create ffs filesystems
that can be used by
NetBSD.
You should create filesystems for all of
your slices except for root with a command similar to below, given we have
root on c1t2d0s0 and /usr on c1t2d0s4.
First, you should uncompress all of the binary distribution sets for
sparc64 into a temporary directory and then extract them into the
filesystems you just mounted.
Now you should copy the
NetBSD
kernel and second stage bootloader into
your new
NetBSD
root partition and install the bootblocks using
Solaris's installboot command.
You also must create device nodes for the disk devices that you are installing
NetBSD

Binary distribution sets
The
NetBSD
sparc64
binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
comprise the
NetBSD1.5
release for the sparc64. There are eight binary distribution sets.
The binary distribution sets can be found in the
sparc64/binary/sets
subdirectory
of the
NetBSD1.5
distribution tree, and are as follows:

libraries, which are included as part of the
base

all of the utilities it contains, as well as the
system call and library manual pages.

and in several other places. This set
must
be installed if you are installing the system from scratch, but should
not
be used if you are upgrading. (If you are upgrading,
it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and
carefully
upgrade your configuration files by hand.)

Preparing your System for NetBSD installation
/
(root) and
/usr
file systems, a comfortable size for the
NetBSD
/
partition is about 20 MB;
a good initial size for the swap partition is twice the amount of physical
memory in your machine (though, unlike
SunOS
4.x, there are no restrictions
on the size of the swap partition that would render part of your memory
unusable). A full binary installation including X11R6 takes about 150 MB in
/usr
.

driver supports automatic detection of the port which is actually connected to
the wire.
If automatic detection is not available or not working properly in your
environment, you may have to specify the type connection using the
media
parameter of
ifconfig(8)
.
During installation, you'll get the
opportunity to specify the appropriate medium. Use
10base5/AUI
to select the AUI connector, or
10baseT/UTP
to select the UTP connector.
Installing the NetBSD System
Installing NetBSD by using the NetBSD miniroot
The miniroot is a self-contained
NetBSD
file system holding all utilities
necessary to install
NetBSD
on a local disk. It is distributed as a plain
file designed to be transferred to a raw disk partition from which it can
be booted using the appropriate OpenBoot PROM command. Usually, the miniroot
will be loaded into the swap partition of a disk. If needed, you can use any
other unused partition, but remember that the partition will then not
available during the installation process.
#
dd if=miniroot.fs of=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s1 bs=4k conv=sync
/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s1
is assumed to be your swap partition.) There's a
potential problem here if
/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s1
is actually in use as a swap
partition by your currently running system. If you don't have another
disk or partition to spare, you can usually get away with running this
command anyway after first booting into single-user mode to ensure a
quiet system.

Installing NetBSD by using a diskless setup
First, you must setup a diskless client configuration on a server. If
you are using a
NetBSD
system as the boot-server, have a look at the
diskless(8)
manual page for guidelines on how to proceed with this.
If the server runs another operating system, you'll have to consult
documentation that came with it. (On
SunOS
systems,
add_client(8)
is a good start.)

.
Normally, this file is a symbolic link to an appropriate second-stage
boot program, which should be located in a place where the TFTP daemon
can find it (remember, many TFTP daemons run in a chroot'ed environment).
You can find the boot program in
/usr/mdec/ofwboot.net
in the
NetBSD/sparc64
distribution.
/usr/mdec/ofwboot
does not know about netbooting.

to install into the root directory for your client on the server.

and
etc.tgz
on the server in the root
directory for your machine. If you elect to use a separately NFS-mounted
file system for
/usr
with your diskless setup, make sure the
./usr
base
files in
base.tgz
end up in the correct location. One way to do this is
to temporarily use a loopback mount on the server, re-routing
root/usr
to your server's exported
NetBSD
/usr
directory. Also put the kernel and the
install/upgrade scripts into the root directory.

you may use the entry (which in most cases only defines a

Installing NetBSD using Solaris
These instructions were kindly contributed by Murray Stokely Preparing the disk
The first step is to format and label the disk that you would like to
use with
NetBSD.
This can be accomplished with the format command in Solaris. The format
command should allow you to create disk slices and
write a disklabel. You will probably at least want to create a root
partition and a swap partition, plus potentially a /usr or /var partitions,
but of course you can layout the disk however you see fit.

Creating NetBSD Device Nodes under Solaris
Now you will need to create a minimum set of device nodes so that
NetBSD
can boot correctly. You should create all of the devices listed
in the 'std' section of
NetBSD's
/dev/MAKEDEV
.
You can use the Solaris
version of mknod to create device nodes but you must be careful to use
numeric group id's since the groups are numbered differently between
the two systems.

to allow the system to work properly. In particular, you will need to modify
/etc/rc.conf
or else you will only get to single user mode. Read through the examples in
/etc/defaults/rc.conf
and override any settings in
/etc/rc.conf
.
You will also need to create a
/etc/fstab
file to tell the system which slice to mount as
/usr
,
etc. You should follow the examples in
/etc/fstab.wd
or
/etc/fstab.sd
depending on whether you are using IDE or SCSI disks. You may also want
to setup your
/etc/resolv.conf
file for name services and your
/etc/hosts

At this point, you need to configure at least
one file in the

/etc/rc.conf
file. Modify it to your tastes, making sure that you set
rc_configured=YES
so that your changes will be enabled and a multi-user boot can
proceed.
Default values for the various programs can be found in
/etc/defaults/rc.conf, where some in-line documentation may be found.
More complete documentation can be found in

Compatibility Issues With Previous NetBSD Releases
General issues
/etc/rc
modified to use
/etc/rc.d/*
/etc/rc
was a traditional
BSD
style monolithic file.
As of
NetBSD1.5,
each discrete program or substem from
/etc/rc
and
/etc/netstart
has been moved into separate scripts in
/etc/rc.d/
.
/etc/rc
uses
rcorder(8)
to build a dependency list of the files in
/etc/rc.d
and then executes each script in turn with an argument of
`start'.
Many
rc.d
scripts won't start unless the appropriate
rc.conf(5)
entry in
/etc/rc.conf
is set to
`YES.'
/etc/rc.shutdown
uses
rcorder(8)
to build a dependency list of the files in
/etc/rc.d
that have a
``KEYWORD: shutdown''
line, reverses the resulting list, and then executes each script in turn
with an argument of
`stop'.
The following scripts support a specific shutdown method:
cron
,
inetd
,
local
,
and
xdm
.
/etc/rc.d
as necessary.
Refer to the other scripts in that directory and
rc(8)
for more information on implementing
rc.d
scripts.
Issues affecting an upgrading from NetBSD 1.4 or later
named(8)
leaks version information
named(8)
where the version number of the server could be determined by remote clients.
This feature has not been disabled in
NetBSD1.5,
because there is a
named.conf(5)
option to change the version string:
option {
version "newstring";
};
sysctl(8)
pathname changed
sysctl(8)
is moved from
/usr/sbin/sysctl
to
/sbin/sysctl
.
If you have hardcoded references to the full pathname
(in shell scripts, for example)
please be sure to update those.
sendmail(8)
configuration file pathname changed
sendmail(8)
upgrade from 8.9.x to 8.10.x,
/etc/sendmail.cf
is moved to
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf
.
Also, the default
sendmail.cf(5)
refers different pathnames than before.
For example,
/etc/aliases
is now located at
/etc/mail/aliases
,
/etc/sendmail.cw
is now called
/etc/mail/local-host-names
,
and so forth.
If you have customized
sendmail.cf(5)
and friends, you will need to move the files to the new locations.
