|
.PP
|
||
|
This section explains the bootstrap procedure that can be used
|
||
|
to get the kernel supplied with this distribution running on your machine.
|
||
|
If you are not currently running \*(Ps you will
|
||
|
have to do a full bootstrap.
|
||
|
Section 3 describes how to upgrade a \*(Ps system.
|
||
|
An understanding of the operations used in a full bootstrap
|
||
|
is helpful in doing an upgrade as well.
|
||
|
In either case, it is highly desirable to read and understand
|
||
|
the remainder of this document before proceeding.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The distribution supports a somewhat wider set of machines than
|
||
|
those for which we have built binaries.
|
||
|
The architectures that are supported only in source form include:
|
||
|
.IP \(bu
|
||
|
Intel 386/486-based machines (ISA/AT or EISA bus only)
|
||
|
.IP \(bu
|
||
|
Sony News MIPS-based workstations
|
||
|
.IP \(bu
|
||
|
Omron Luna 68000-based workstations
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
If you wish to run one of these architectures,
|
||
|
you will have to build a cross compilation environment.
|
||
|
Note that the distribution does
|
||
|
.B not
|
||
|
include the machine support for the Tahoe and VAX architectures
|
||
|
found in previous BSD distributions.
|
||
|
Our primary development environment is the HP9000/300 series machines.
|
||
|
The other architectures are developed and supported by
|
||
|
people outside the university.
|
||
|
Consequently, we are not able to directly test or maintain these
|
||
|
other architectures, so cannot comment on their robustness,
|
||
|
reliability, or completeness.

The tape bootstrap procedure used to create a
|
||
|
working system involves the following major steps:
|
||
|
.IP 1)
|
||
|
Transfer a bootable root filesystem from the tape to a disk
|
||
|
and get it booted and running.
|
||
|
.IP 2)
|
||
|
Build and restore the
|
||
|
.Pn /var
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.Pn /usr
|
||
|
filesystems from tape with
|
||
|
.Xr tar (1).
|
||
|
.IP 3)
|
||
|
Extract the system and utility source files as desired.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The following sections describe the above steps in detail.
|
||
|
The details of the first step vary between architectures.
|
||
|
The specific steps for the HP300, SPARC, and DECstation are
|
||
|
given in the next three sections respectively.
|
||
|
You should follow the instructions for your particular architecture.
|
||
|
In all sections,
|
||
|
commands you are expected to type are shown in italics, while that
|
||
|
information printed by the system is shown emboldened.

.Sh 3 "Standalone device file naming"
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
The standalone system device name syntax on the HP300 is of the form:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
xx(a,c,u,p)
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
where
|
||
|
\fIxx\fP is the device type,
|
||
|
\fIa\fP specifies the adaptor to use,
|
||
|
\fIc\fP the controller,
|
||
|
\fIu\fP the unit, and
|
||
|
\fIp\fP a partition.
|
||
|
The \fIdevice type\fP differentiates the various disks and tapes and is one of:
|
||
|
``rd'' for HP-IB CS80 disks,
|
||
|
``ct'' for HP-IB CS80 cartridge tapes, or
|
||
|
``sd'' for SCSI-I disks
|
||
|
(SCSI-I tapes are currently not supported).
|
||
|
The \fIadaptor\fP field is a logical HP-IB or SCSI bus adaptor card number.
|
||
|
This will typically be
|
||
|
0 for SCSI disks,
|
||
|
0 for devices on the ``slow'' HP-IB interface (usually tapes) and
|
||
|
1 for devices on the ``fast'' HP-IB interface (usually disks).
|
||
|
To get a complete mapping of physical (select-code) to logical card numbers
|
||
|
just type a ^C at the standalone prompt.
|
||
|
The \fIcontroller\fP field is the disk or tape's target number on the
|
||
|
HP-IB or SCSI bus.
|
||
|
For SCSI the range is 0 to 6 (7 is the adaptor address) and
|
||
|
for HP-IB the range is 0 to 7.
|
||
|
The \fIunit\fP field is unused and should be 0.
|
||
|
The \fIpartition\fP field is interpreted differently for tapes
|
||
|
and disks: for disks it is a disk partition (in the range 0-7),
|
||
|
and for tapes it is a file number offset on the tape.
|
||
|
Thus, partition 2 of a SCSI disk drive at target 3 on SCSI bus 1
|
||
|
would be ``sd(1,3,0,2)''.
|
||
|
If you have only one of any type bus adaptor, you may omit the adaptor
|
||
|
and controller numbers;
|
||
|
e.g. ``sd(0,2)'' could be used instead of ``sd(0,0,0,2)''.
|
||
|
The following examples always use the full syntax for clarity.
|
||
|
.Sh 3 "The procedure"
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
The basic steps involved in bringing up the HP300 are as follows:
|
||
|
.IP 1)
|
||
|
Obtain a second disk and format it, if necessary.
|
||
|
.IP 2)
|
||
|
Copy a root filesystem from the
|
||
|
tape onto the beginning of the disk.
|
||
|
.IP 3)
|
||
|
Boot the UNIX system on the new disk.
|
||
|
.IP 4)
|
||
|
(Optional) Build a root filesystem optimized for your disk.
|
||
|
.IP 5)
|
||
|
Label the disks with the
|
||
|
.Xr disklabel (8)
|
||
|
program.
|
||
|
.Sh 4 "Step 1: selecting and formatting a disk"
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
For your first system you will have to obtain a formatted disk
|
||
|
of a type given in the ``supported hardware'' list above.
|
||
|
If you want to load an entire binary system
|
||
|
(i.e., everything except
|
||
|
.Pn /usr/src ),
|
||
|
on the single disk you will need a minimum of 290MB,
|
||
|
ruling out anything smaller than a 7959B/S disk.
|
||
|
The disklabel included in the bootstrap root image is laid out
|
||
|
to accommodate this scenario.
|
||
|
Note that an HP SCSI magneto-optical disk will work fine for this case.
|
||
|
\*(4B will boot and run (albeit slowly) using one.
|
||
|
If you want to load source on a single disk system,
|
||
|
you will need at least 640MB (at least a 2213A SCSI or 2203A HP-IB disk).
|
||
|
A disk as small as the 7945A (54MB) can be used for the bootstrap
|
||
|
procedure but will hold only the root and primary swap partitions.
|
||
|
If you plan to use multiple disks,
|
||
|
refer to section 2.5 for suggestions on partitioning.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
After selecting a disk, you may need to format it.
|
||
|
Since most HP disk drives come pre-formatted
|
||
|
(except optical media)
|
||
|
you probably will not, but if necessary,
|
||
|
you can format a disk under HP-UX using the
|
||
|
.Xr mediainit (1m)
|
||
|
program.
|
||
|
Once you have \*(4B up and running on one machine you can use the
|
||
|
.Xr scsiformat (8)
|
||
|
program to format additional SCSI disks.
|
||
|
Any additional HP-IB disks will have to be formatted using HP-UX.
|
||
|
.Sh 4 "Step 2: copying the root filesystem from tape to disk"
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
Once you have a formatted second disk you can use the
|
||
|
.Xr dd (1)
|
||
|
command under HP-UX to copy the root filesystem image from
|
||
|
the tape to the beginning of the second disk.
|
||
|
For HP's, the root filesystem image is the first file on the tape.
|
||
|
It includes a disklabel and bootblock along with the root filesystem.
|
||
|
An example command to copy the image from tape to the beginning of a disk is:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
.ft CW
|
||
|
dd if=/dev/rmt/0m of=/dev/rdsk/1s0 bs=\*(Bzb
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
The actual special file syntax may vary depending on unit numbers and
|
||
|
the version of HP-UX that is running.
|
||
|
Consult the HP-UX
|
||
|
.Xr mt (7)
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.Xr disk (7)
|
||
|
man pages for details.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
Note that if you have a SCSI disk, you don't necessarily have to use
|
||
|
HP-UX (or an HP) to create the boot disk.
|
||
|
Any machine and operating system that will allow you to copy the
|
||
|
raw disk image out to block 0 of the disk will do.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
If you have only a single machine with a single disk,
|
||
|
you may still be able to install and boot \*(4B if you have an
|
||
|
HP-IB cartridge tape drive.
|
||
|
If so, you can use a more difficult approach of booting a
|
||
|
standalone copy program from the tape, and using that to copy the
|
||
|
root filesystem image from the tape to the disk.
|
||
|
To do this, you need to extract the first file of the distribution tape
|
||
|
(the root image), copy it over to a machine with a cartridge drive
|
||
|
and then copy the image onto tape.
|
||
|
For example:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
.ft CW
|
||
|
dd if=/dev/rst0 of=bootimage bs=\*(Bzb
|
||
|
rcp bootimage foo:/tmp/bootimage
|
||
|
<login to foo>
|
||
|
dd if=/tmp/bootimage of=/dev/rct/0m bs=\*(Bzb
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
Once this tape is created you can boot and run the standalone tape
|
||
|
copy program from it.
|
||
|
The copy program is loaded just as any other program would be loaded
|
||
|
by the bootrom in ``attended'' mode:
|
||
|
reset the CPU,
|
||
|
hold down the space bar until the word ``Keyboard'' appears in the
|
||
|
installed interface list, and
|
||
|
enter the menu selection for SYS_TCOPY.
|
||
|
Once loaded and running:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
.TS
|
||
|
lw(2i) l.
|
||
|
\fBFrom:\fP \fI^C\fP (control-C to see logical adaptor assignments)
|
||
|
\fBhpib0 at sc7\fP
|
||
|
\fBscsi0 at sc14\fP
|
||
|
\fBFrom:\fP \fIct(0,7,0,0)\fP (HP-IB tape, target 7, first tape file)
|
||
|
\fBTo:\fP \fIsd(0,0,0,2)\fP (SCSI disk, target 0, third partition)
|
||
|
\fBCopy completed: 1728 records copied\fP
|
||
|
.TE
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
This copy will likely take 30 minutes or more.
|
||
|
.Sh 4 "Step 3: booting the root filesystem"
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
You now have a bootable root filesystem on the disk.
|
||
|
If you were previously running with two disks,
|
||
|
it would be best if you shut down the machine and turn off power on
|
||
|
the HP-UX drive.
|
||
|
It will be less confusing and it will eliminate any chance of accidentally
|
||
|
destroying the HP-UX disk.
|
||
|
If you used a cartridge tape for booting you should also unload the tape
|
||
|
at this point.
|
||
|
Whether you booted from tape or copied from disk you should now reboot
|
||
|
the machine and do another attended boot (see previous section),
|
||
|
this time with SYS_TBOOT.
|
||
|
Once loaded and running the boot program will display the CPU type and
|
||
|
prompt for a kernel file to boot:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
.B
|
||
|
HP433 CPU
|
||
|
Boot
|
||
|
.R
|
||
|
\fB:\fP \fI/vmunix\fP
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
After providing the kernel name, the machine will boot \*(4B with
|
||
|
output that looks about like this:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
.B

The first three numbers are printed out by the bootstrap program and
|
||
|
are the sizes of different parts of the system (text, initialized and
|
||
|
uninitialized data). The system also allocates several system data
|
||
|
structures after it starts running. The sizes of these structures are
|
||
|
based on the amount of available memory and the maximum count of active
|
||
|
users expected, as declared in a system configuration description. This
|
||
|
will be discussed later.
|

UNIX itself then runs for the first time and begins by printing out a banner

identifying the release and

.PP

Next the

messages give the
|

|
amount of real (physical) memory and the
|
||
|
memory available to user programs
|
||
|
in bytes.
|

For example, if your machine has 16Mb bytes of memory, then

\fBxxx\fP will be 16777216.

The messages that come out next show what devices were found on
|
||
|
the current processor. These messages are described in
|
||
|
.Xr autoconf (4).
|
||
|
The distributed system may not have
|
||
|
found all the communications devices you have
|
||
|
or all the mass storage peripherals you have, especially
|
||
|
if you have more than
|
||
|
two of anything. You will correct this when you create
|
||
|
a description of your machine from which to configure a site-dependent
|
||
|
version of UNIX.
|
||
|
The messages printed at boot here contain much of the information
|
||
|
that will be used in creating the configuration.
|
||
|
In a correctly configured system most of the information
|
||
|
present in the configuration description
|
||
|
is printed out at boot time as the system verifies that each device
|
||
|
is present.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The \*(lqroot device?\*(rq prompt was printed by the system
|
||
|
to ask you for the name of the root filesystem to use.
|
||
|
This happens because the distribution system is a \fIgeneric\fP
|
||
|
system, i.e., it can be bootstrapped on a cpu with its root device
|
||
|
and paging area on any available disk drive.
|
||
|
You will most likely respond to the root device question with ``sd0''
|
||
|
if you are booting from a SCSI disk,
|
||
|
or with ``rd0'' if you are booting from an HP-IB disk.
|
||
|
This response shows that the disk it is running
|
||
|
on is drive 0 of type ``sd'' or ``rd'' respectively.
|
||
|
If you have other disks attached to the system,
|
||
|
it is possible that the drive you are using will not be configured
|
||
|
as logical drive 0.
|
||
|
Check the autoconfiguration messages printed out by the kernel to
|
||
|
make sure.
|
||
|
These messages will show the type of every logical drive
|
||
|
and their associated controller and slave addresses.
|
||
|
You will later build a system tailored to your configuration
|
||
|
that will not prompt you for a root device when it is bootstrapped.

|

The root filesystem that you are currently running on is complete,
|
||
|
however it probably is not optimally laid out for the disk on
|
||
|
which you are running.
|
||
|
If you will be cloning copies of the system onto multiple disks for
|
||
|
other machines, you are advised to connect one of these disks to
|
||
|
this machine, and build and restore a properly laid out root filesystem
|
||
|
onto it.
|
||
|
If this is the only machine on which you will be running \*(4B
|
||
|
or peak performance is not an issue, you can skip this step and
|
||
|
proceed directly to step 5.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
Connect a second disk to your machine.
|
||
|
If you bootstrapped using the two disk method, you can
|
||
|
overwrite your initial HP-UX disk, as it will no longer
|
||
|
be needed (assuming you have no plans to run HP-UX again).
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
To really create the root filesystem on drive 1
|
||
|
you should first label the disk as described in step 5 below.
|
||
|
Then run the following commands:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
\fB#\fP \fIcd /dev\fP
|
||
|
\fB#\fP \fI./MAKEDEV \*(Dk1a\fP

\fB#\fP\|\fIdump 0f \- /dev/r\*(Dk0a | restore xf \-\fP
|

(Note: restore will ask if you want to ``set owner/mode for '.'''
|
||
|
to which you should reply ``yes''.)
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
When this completes,
|
||
|
you should then shut down the system, and boot on the disk that
|
||
|
you just created following the procedure in step (3) above.
|
||
|
.Sh 4 "Step 5: placing labels on the disks"
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
For each disk on the HP300, \*(4B places information about the geometry
|
||
|
of the drive and the partition layout at byte offset 1024.
|
||
|
This information is written with
|
||
|
.Xr disklabel (8).
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The root image just loaded includes a ``generic'' label intended to allow
|
||
|
easy installation of the root and
|
||
|
.Pn /usr
|
||
|
and may not be suitable for the actual
|
||
|
disk on which it was installed.
|
||
|
In particular,
|
||
|
it may make your disk appear larger or smaller than its real size.
|
||
|
In the former case, you lose some capacity.
|
||
|
In the latter, some of the partitions may map non-existent sectors
|
||
|
leading to errors if those partitions are used.
|
||
|
It is also possible that the defined geometry will interact poorly with
|
||
|
the filesystem code resulting in reduced performance.
|
||
|
However, as long as you are willing to give up a little space,
|
||
|
not use certain partitions or suffer minor performance degradation,
|
||
|
you might want to avoid this step;
|
||
|
especially if you do not know how to use
|
||
|
.Xr ed (1).
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
If you choose to edit this label,
|
||
|
you can fill in correct geometry information from
|
||
|
.Pn /etc/disktab .
|
||
|
You may also want to rework the ``e'' and ``f'' partitions used for loading
|
||
|
.Pn /usr
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.Pn /var .
|
||
|
You should not attempt to, and
|
||
|
.Xr disklabel
|
||
|
will not let you, modify the ``a'', ``b'' and ``d'' partitions.
|

To edit a label:
|

.DS
|

\fB#\fP \fIEDITOR=ed\fP

|
||

\fB#\fP \fIdisklabel -r -e /dev/r\fBXX#\fPd
|

where \fBXX\fP is the type and \fB#\fP is the logical drive number; e.g.
|
||
|
.Pn /dev/rsd0d
|
||
|
or
|
||
|
.Pn /dev/rrd0d .
|
||
|
Note the explicit use of the ``d'' partition.
|
||
|
This partition includes the bootblock as does ``c''
|
||
|
and using it allows you to change the size of ``c''.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
If you wish to label any additional disks, run the following command for each:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
\fB#\|\fP\fIdisklabel -rw \fBXX# type\fP \fI"optional_pack_name"\fP
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
where \fBXX#\fP is the same as in the previous command
|
||
|
and \fBtype\fP is the HP300 disk device name as listed in
|
||
|
.Pn /etc/disktab .
|
||
|
The optional information may contain any descriptive name for the
|
||
|
contents of a disk, and may be up to 16 characters long. This procedure
|
||
|
will place the label on the disk using the information found in
|
||
|
.Pn /etc/disktab
|
||
|
for the disk type named.
|
||
|
If you have changed the disk partition sizes,
|
||
|
you may wish to add entries for the modified configuration in
|
||
|
.Pn /etc/disktab
|
||
|
before labeling the affected disks.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
You have now completed the HP300 specific part of the installation.
|
||
|
Now proceed to the generic part of the installation
|
||
|
described starting in section 2.5 below.
|
||
|
Note that where the disk name ``sd'' is used throughout section 2.5,
|
||
|
you should substitute the name ``rd'' if you are running on an HP-IB disk.
|
||
|
Also, if you are loading on a single disk with the default disklabel,
|
||
|
.Pn /var
|
||
|
should be restored to the ``f'' partition and
|
||
|
.Pn /usr

to the ``e'' partition.

.Sh 3 "Limitations"
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
There are several important limitations on the \*(4B distribution
|
||
|
for the SPARC:
|
||
|
.IP 1)
|
||
|
You
|
||
|
.B must
|
||
|
have SunOS 4.1.x or Solaris to bring up \*(4B.
|
||
|
There is no SPARCstation bootstrap code in this distribution. The
|
||
|
Sun-supplied boot loader will be used to boot \*(4B; you must copy
|
||
|
this from your SunOS distribution. This imposes several
|
||
|
restrictions on the system, as detailed below.
|
||
|
.IP 2)
|
||
|
The \*(4B SPARC kernel does not remap SCSI IDs. A SCSI disk at
|
||
|
target 0 will become ``sd0'', where in SunOS the same disk will
|
||
|
normally be called ``sd3''. If your existing SunOS system is
|
||
|
diskful, it will be least painful to have SunOS running on the disk
|
||
|
on target 0 lun 0 and put \*(4B on the disk on target 3 lun 0. Both
|
||
|
systems will then think they are running on ``sd0'', and you can
|
||
|
boot either system as needed simply by changing the EEPROM's boot
|
||
|
device.
|
||
|
.IP 3)
|
||
|
There is no SCSI tape driver.
|
||
|
You must have another system for tape reading and backups.
|
||
|
.IP 4)
|
||
|
Although the \*(4B SPARC kernel will handle existing SunOS shared
|
||
|
libraries, it does not use or create them itself, and therefore
|
||
|
requires much more disk space than SunOS does.
|
||
|
.IP 5)
|
||
|
It is currently difficult (though not completely impossible) to
|
||
|
run \*(4B diskless. These instructions assume you will have a local
|
||
|
boot, swap, and root filesystem.
|
||
|
.IP 6)
|
||
|
When using a serial port rather than a graphics display as the console,
|
||
|
only port
|
||
|
.Pn ttya
|
||
|
can be used.
|
||
|
Attempts to use port
|
||
|
.Pn ttyb
|
||
|
will fail when the kernel tries
|
||
|
to print the boot up messages to the console.
|
||
|
.Sh 3 "The procedure"
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
You must have a spare disk on which to place \*(4B.
|
||
|
The steps involved in bootstrapping this tape are as follows:
|
||
|
.IP 1)
|
||
|
Bring up SunOS (preferably SunOS 4.1.x or Solaris 1.x, although
|
||
|
Solaris 2 may work \(em this is untested).
|
||
|
.IP 2)
|
||
|
Attach auxiliary SCSI disk(s). Format and label using the
|
||
|
SunOS formatting and labeling programs as needed.
|
||
|
Note that the root filesystem currently requires at least 10 MB; 16 MB
|
||
|
or more is recommended. The b partition will be used for swap;
|
||
|
this should be at least 32 MB.
|
||
|
.IP 3)
|
||
|
Use the SunOS
|
||
|
.Xr newfs
|
||
|
to build the root filesystem. You may also
|
||
|
want to build other filesystems at the same time. (By default, the
|
||
|
\*(4B
|
||
|
.Xr newfs
|
||
|
builds a filesystem that SunOS will not handle; if you
|
||
|
plan to switch OSes back and forth you may want to sacrifice the
|
||
|
performance gain from the new filesystem format for compatibility.)
|
||
|
You can build an old-format filesystem on \*(4B by giving the \-O
|
||
|
option to
|
||
|
.Xr newfs (8).
|
||
|
.Xr Fsck (8)
|
||
|
can convert old format filesystems to new format
|
||
|
filesystems, but not vice versa,
|
||
|
so you may want to initially build old format filesystems so that they
|
||
|
can be mounted under SunOS,
|
||
|
and then later convert them to new format filesystems when you are
|
||
|
satisfied that \*(4B is running properly.
|
||
|
In any case,
|
||
|
.B
|
||
|
you must build an old-style root filesystem
|
||
|
.R
|
||
|
so that the SunOS boot program will work.
|
||
|
.IP 4)
|
||
|
Mount the new root, then copy the SunOS
|
||
|
.Pn /boot
|
||
|
into place and use the SunOS ``installboot'' program
|
||
|
to enable disk-based booting.
|
||
|
Note that the filesystem must be mounted when you do the ``installboot'':
|
||

starting in section 2.5.
|

In these instructions,

||
|
should be loaded into the ``e'' partition and

|
.Pn /var
|
||
|
in the ``f'' partition.
|
||

.LP
|

After completing the filesystem installation you may want

|
to set up \*(4B to reboot automatically:

.DS
|

.ft CW
|

|
# halt

|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
If you build backwards-compatible filesystems, either with the SunOS
|
||
|
newfs or with the \*(4B ``\-O'' option, you can mount these under
|
||
|
SunOS. The SunOS fsck will, however, always think that these filesystems
|
||
|
are corrupted, as there are several new (previously unused)
|
||
|
superblock fields that are updated in \*(4B. Running ``fsck \-b32''
|
||
|
and letting it ``fix'' the superblock will take care of this.
|
||
|
.sp 0.5
|
||
|
If you wish to run SunOS binaries that use SunOS shared libraries, you
|
||
|
simply need to copy all the dynamic linker files from an existing
|
||
|
SunOS system:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
.ft CW
|

|
# rcp sunos-host:/etc/ld.so.cache /etc/
|
||
|
# rcp sunos-host:'/usr/lib/*.so*' /usr/lib/
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
The SunOS compiler and linker should be able to produce SunOS binaries
|
||
|
under \*(4B, but this has not been tested. If you plan to try it you
|
||
|
will need the appropriate .sa files as well.

.Sh 3 "The procedure"
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The first file on the distribution tape is a tar file that contains
|
||
|
four files.
|
||
|
The first step requires a running UNIX (or ULTRIX) system that can
|
||
|
be used to extract the tar archive from the first file on the tape.
|
||
|
The command:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
.ft CW
|
||
|
tar xf /dev/rmt0
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
will extract the following four files:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
A) root.image: \fIdd\fP image of the root filesystem
|
||
|
B) vmunix.tape: \fIdd\fP image for creating boot tapes
|
||
|
C) vmunix.net: file for booting over the network
|
||
|
D) root.dump: \fIdump\fP image of the root filesystem
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
There are three basic ways a system can be bootstrapped corresponding to the
|
||
|
first three files.
|
||
|
You may want to read the section on bootstrapping the HP300
|
||
|
since many of the steps are similar.
|
||
|
A spare, formatted SCSI disk is also useful.
|
||
|
.Sh 4 "Procedure A: copy root filesystem to disk"
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
This procedure is similar to the HP300.
|
||
|
If you have an extra disk, the easiest approach is to use \fIdd\fP\|(1)
|
||
|
under ULTRIX to copy the root filesystem image to the beginning
|
||
|
of the spare disk.
|
||
|
The root filesystem image includes a disklabel and bootblock along with the
|
||
|
root filesystem.
|
||
|
An example command to copy the image to the beginning of a disk is:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
.ft CW
|
||
|
dd if=root.image of=/dev/rz1c bs=\*(Bzb
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
The actual special file syntax will vary depending on unit numbers and
|
||
|
the version of ULTRIX that is running.
|
||
|
This system is now ready to boot. You can boot the kernel with one of the
|
||
|
following PROM commands. If you are booting on a 3100, the disk must be SCSI
|
||
|
id zero because of a bug.
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
.ft CW
|
||
|
DEC 3100: boot \-f rz(0,0,0)vmunix
|
||
|
DEC 5000: boot 5/rz0/vmunix
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
You can then proceed to section 2.5
|
||
|
to create reasonable disk partitions for your machine
|
||
|
and then install the rest of the system.
|
||
|
.Sh 4 "Procedure B: bootstrap from tape"
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
If you have only a single machine with a single disk,
|
||
|
you need to use the more difficult approach of booting a
|
||
|
kernel and mini-root from tape or the network, and using it to restore
|
||
|
the root filesystem.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
First, you will need to create a boot tape. This can be done using
|
||
|
\fIdd\fP as in the following example.
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
.ft CW
|
||
|
dd if=vmunix.tape of=/dev/nrmt0 bs=1b
|
||
|
dd if=root.dump of=/dev/nrmt0 bs=\*(Bzb
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
The actual special file syntax for the tape drive will vary depending on
|
||
|
unit numbers, tape device and the version of ULTRIX that is running.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The first file on the boot tape contains a boot header, kernel, and
|
||
|
mini-root filesystem that the PROM can copy into memory.
|
||
|
Installing from tape has only been tested
|
||
|
on a 3100 and a 5000/200 using a TK50 tape drive. Here are two example
|
||
|
PROM commands to boot from tape.
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
.ft CW
|
||
|
DEC 3100: boot \-f tz(0,5,0) m # 5 is the SCSI id of the TK50
|
||
|
DEC 5000: boot 5/tz6 m # 6 is the SCSI id of the TK50
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
The `m' argument tells the kernel to look for a root filesystem in memory.
|
||
|
Next you should proceed to section 2.4.3 to build a disk-based root filesystem.
|
||
|
.Sh 4 "Procedure C: bootstrap over the network"
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
You will need a host machine that is running the \fIbootp\fP server
|
||
|
with the
|
||
|
.Pn vmunix.net
|
||
|
file installed in the default directory defined by the
|
||
|
configuration file for
|
||
|
.Xr bootp .
|
||
|
Here are two example PROM commands to boot across the net:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
.ft CW
|
||
|
DEC 3100: boot \-f tftp()vmunix.net m
|
||
|
DEC 5000: boot 6/tftp/vmunix.net m
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
This command should load the kernel and mini-root into memory and
|
||
|
run the same as the tape install (procedure B).
|
||
|
The rest of the steps are the same except
|
||
|
you will need to start the network
|
||
|
(if you are unsure how to fill in the <name> fields below,
|
||
|
see sections 4.4 and 5).
|
||
|
Execute the following to start the networking:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
.ft CW
|
||
|
# mount \-uw /
|
||
|
# echo 127.0.0.1 localhost >> /etc/hosts
|
||
|
# echo <your.host.inet.number> myname.my.domain myname >> /etc/hosts
|
||
|
# echo <friend.host.inet.number> myfriend.my.domain myfriend >> /etc/hosts
|
||
|
# ifconfig le0 inet myname
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
Next you should proceed to section 2.4.3 to build a disk-based root filesystem.
|
||
|
.Sh 3 "Label disk and create the root filesystem"
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
There are five steps to create a disk-based root filesystem.
|
||
|
.IP 1)
|

.DE
|

|
Supported disk types are listed in
|
||
|
.Pn /etc/disktab .
|
||
|
.IP 2)
|
||
|
Restore the root filesystem.
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
.ft CW
|

.ti +0.4i
|

If you are restoring locally (procedure B), run:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
.ft CW
|
||
|
# mt \-f /dev/nrmt0 rew
|
||
|
# restore \-xsf 2 /dev/rmt0
|

If you are restoring across the net (procedure c), run:
|

.ft CW
|
||
|
# rrestore xf myfriend:/path/to/root.dump
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
.ti +0.4i
|

|
When the restore finishes, clean up with:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
.ft CW
|
||
|
# cd /
|
||
|
# sync
|
||
|
# umount /a
|
||
|
# fsck /dev/rz?a
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
.IP 3)
|
||
|
Reset the system and initialize the PROM monitor to boot automatically.
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
.ft CW
|
||
|
DEC 3100: setenv bootpath boot \-f rz(0,?,0)vmunix
|
||
|
DEC 5000: setenv bootpath 5/rz?/vmunix -a
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
.IP 4)
|
||
|
After booting UNIX, you will need to create
|
||
|
.Pn /dev/mouse
|
||
|
to run X windows as in the following example.
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
.ft CW
|
||
|
rm /dev/mouse
|
||
|
ln /dev/xx /dev/mouse
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
The 'xx' should be one of the following:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
pm0 raw interface to PMAX graphics devices
|
||
|
cfb0 raw interface to TURBOchannel PMAG-BA color frame buffer
|
||
|
xcfb0 raw interface to maxine graphics devices
|
||
|
mfb0 raw interface to mono graphics devices
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
You can then proceed to section 2.5 to install the rest of the system.
|
||
|
Note that where the disk name ``sd'' is used throughout section 2.5,
|
||
|
you should substitute the name ``rz''.
|
||
|
.Sh 2 "Disk configuration"
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
All architectures now have a root filesystem up and running and
|
||
|
proceed from this point to layout filesystems to make use
|
||
|
of the available space and to balance disk load for better system
|
||
|
performance.
|
||
|
.Sh 3 "Disk naming and divisions"
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
Each physical disk drive can be divided into up to 8 partitions;
|
||
|
UNIX typically uses only 3 or 4 partitions.
|
||
|
For instance, the first partition, \*(Dk0a,
|
||
|
is used for a root filesystem, a backup thereof,
|
||
|
or a small filesystem like,
|
||
|
.Pn /var/tmp ;
|
||
|
the second partition, \*(Dk0b,
|
||
|
is used for paging and swapping; and
|
||
|
a third partition, typically \*(Dk0e,
|
||
|
holds a user filesystem.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The space available on a disk varies per device.
|
||
|
Each disk typically has a paging area of 30 to 100 megabytes
|
||
|
and a root filesystem of about 17 megabytes.
|
||
|
.\" XXX check
|
||
|
The distributed system binaries occupy about 150 (180 with X11R5) megabytes
|
||
|
.\" XXX check
|
||
|
while the major sources occupy another 250 (340 with X11R5) megabytes.
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Pn /var
|
||
|
filesystem as delivered on the tape is only 2Mb,
|
||
|
however it should have at least 50Mb allocated to it just for
|
||
|
normal system activity.
|
||
|
Usually it is allocated the last partition on the disk
|
||
|
so that it can provide as much space as possible to the
|
||
|
.Pn /var/users
|
||
|
filesystem.
|
||
|
See section 2.5.4 for further details on disk layouts.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
Be aware that the disks have their sizes
|
||
|
measured in disk sectors (usually 512 bytes), while the UNIX filesystem
|
||
|
blocks are variable sized.
|
||
|
If
|
||
|
.Sm BLOCKSIZE=1k
|
||
|
is set in the user's environment, all user programs report
|
||
|
disk space in kilobytes, otherwise,
|
||
|
disk sizes are always reported in units of 512-byte sectors\**.
|
||
|
.FS
|
||
|
You can thank System V intransigence and POSIX duplicity for
|
||
|
requiring that 512-byte blocks be the units that programs report.
|
||
|
.FE
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Pn /etc/disktab
|
||
|
file used in labelling disks and making filesystems
|
||
|
specifies disk partition sizes in sectors.
|
||
|
.Sh 3 "Layout considerations"
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
There are several considerations in deciding how
|
||
|
to adjust the arrangement of things on your disks.
|
||
|
The most important is making sure that there is adequate space
|
||
|
for what is required; secondarily, throughput should be maximized.
|
||
|
Paging space is an important parameter.
|
||
|
The system, as distributed, sizes the configured
|
||
|
paging areas each time the system is booted. Further,
|
||
|
multiple paging areas of different sizes may be interleaved.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
Many common system programs (C, the editor, the assembler etc.)
|
||
|
create intermediate files in the
|
||
|
.Pn /tmp
|
||
|
directory, so the filesystem where this is stored also should be made
|
||
|
large enough to accommodate most high-water marks.
|
||
|
Typically,
|
||
|
.Pn /tmp
|
||
|
is constructed from a memory-based filesystem (see
|
||
|
.Xr mount_mfs (8)).
|
||
|
Programs that want their temporary files to persist
|
||
|
across system reboots (such as editors) should use
|
||
|
.Pn /var/tmp .
|
||
|
If you plan to use a disk-based
|
||
|
.Pn /tmp
|
||
|
filesystem to avoid loss across system reboots, it makes
|
||
|
sense to mount this in a ``root'' (i.e. first partition)
|
||
|
filesystem on another disk.
|
||
|
All the programs that create files in
|
||
|
.Pn /tmp
|
||
|
take care to delete them, but are not immune to rare events
|
||
|
and can leave dregs.
|
||
|
The directory should be examined every so often and the old
|
||
|
files deleted.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The efficiency with which UNIX is able to use the CPU
|
||
|
is often strongly affected by the configuration of disk controllers;
|
||
|
it is critical for good performance to balance disk load.
|
||
|
There are at least five components of the disk load that you can
|
||
|
divide between the available disks:
|
||
|
.IP 1)
|
||
|
The root filesystem.
|
||
|
.IP 2)
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Pn /var
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.Pn /var/tmp
|
||
|
filesystems.
|
||
|
.IP 3)
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Pn /usr
|
||
|
filesystem.
|
||
|
.IP 4)
|
||
|
The user filesystems.
|
||
|
.IP 5)
|
||
|
The paging activity.
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
The following possibilities are ones we have used at times
|
||
|
when we had 2, 3 and 4 disks:
|
||
|
.TS
|
||
|
center doublebox;
|
||
|
l | c s s
|
||
|
l | lw(5) | lw(5) | lw(5).

|
||
|
archive x x 3
|
||
|
.TE
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The most important things to consider are to
|
||
|
even out the disk load as much as possible, and to do this by
|
||
|
decoupling filesystems (on separate arms) between which heavy copying occurs.
|
||
|
Note that a long term average balanced load is not important; it is
|
||
|
much more important to have an instantaneously balanced
|
||
|
load when the system is busy.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
Intelligent experimentation with a few filesystem arrangements can
|
||
|
pay off in much improved performance. It is particularly easy to
|
||
|
move the root, the
|
||
|
.Pn /var
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.Pn /var/tmp
|
||
|
filesystems and the paging areas. Place the
|
||
|
user files and the
|
||
|
.Pn /usr
|
||
|
directory as space needs dictate and experiment
|
||
|
with the other, more easily moved filesystems.
|
||
|
.Sh 3 "Filesystem parameters"
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
Each filesystem is parameterized according to its block size,
|
||
|
fragment size, and the disk geometry characteristics of the
|
||
|
medium on which it resides. Inaccurate specification of the disk
|
||
|
characteristics or haphazard choice of the filesystem parameters
|
||
|
can result in substantial throughput degradation or significant
|
||
|
waste of disk space. As distributed,
|
||
|
filesystems are configured according to the following table.
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
.TS
|
||
|
center;
|
||
|
l l l.
|
||
|
Filesystem Block size Fragment size
|
||
|
_
|
||
|
root 8 kbytes 1 kbytes
|
||
|
usr 8 kbytes 1 kbytes
|
||
|
users 4 kbytes 512 bytes
|
||
|
.TE
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The root filesystem block size is
|
||
|
made large to optimize bandwidth to the associated disk.
|
||
|
The large block size is important as many of the most
|
||
|
heavily used programs are demand paged out of the
|
||
|
.Pn /bin
|
||
|
directory.
|
||
|
The fragment size of 1 kbyte is a ``nominal'' value to use
|
||
|
with a filesystem. With a 1 kbyte fragment size
|
||
|
disk space utilization is about the same
|
||
|
as with the earlier versions of the filesystem.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The filesystems for users have a 4 kbyte block
|
||
|
size with 512 byte fragment size. These parameters
|
||
|
have been selected based on observations of the
|
||
|
performance of our user filesystems. The 4 kbyte
|
||
|
block size provides adequate bandwidth while the
|
||
|
512 byte fragment size provides acceptable space compaction
|
||
|
and disk fragmentation.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
Other parameters may be chosen in constructing filesystems,
|
||
|
but the factors involved in choosing a block
|
||
|
size and fragment size are many and interact in complex
|
||
|
ways. Larger block sizes result in better
|
||
|
throughput to large files in the filesystem as
|
||
|
larger I/O requests will then be done by the
|
||
|
system. However,
|
||
|
consideration must be given to the average file sizes
|
||
|
found in the filesystem and the performance of the
|
||
|
internal system buffer cache. The system
|
||
|
currently provides space in the inode for
|
||
|
12 direct block pointers, 1 single indirect block
|
||
|
pointer, 1 double indirect block pointer,
|
||
|
and 1 triple indirect block pointer.
|
||
|
If a file uses only direct blocks, access time to
|
||
|
it will be optimized by maximizing the block size.
|
||
|
If a file spills over into an indirect block,
|
||
|
increasing the block size of the filesystem may
|
||
|
decrease the amount of space used
|
||
|
by eliminating the need to allocate an indirect block.
|
||
|
However, if the block size is increased and an indirect
|
||
|
block is still required, then more disk space will be
|
||
|
used by the file because indirect blocks are allocated
|
||
|
according to the block size of the filesystem.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
In selecting a fragment size for a filesystem, at least
|
||
|
two considerations should be given. The major performance
|
||
|
tradeoffs observed are between an 8 kbyte block filesystem
|
||
|
and a 4 kbyte block filesystem. Because of implementation
|
||
|
constraints, the block size versus fragment size ratio can not
|
||
|
be greater than 8. This means that an 8 kbyte filesystem
|
||
|
will always have a fragment size of at least 1 kbytes. If
|
||
|
a filesystem is created with a 4 kbyte block size and a
|
||
|
1 kbyte fragment size, then upgraded to an 8 kbyte block size
|
||
|
and 1 kbyte fragment size, identical space compaction will be
|
||
|
observed. However, if a filesystem has a 4 kbyte block size
|
||
|
and 512 byte fragment size, converting it to an 8K/1K
|
||
|
filesystem will result in 4-8% more space being
|
||
|
used. This implies that 4 kbyte block filesystems that
|
||
|
might be upgraded to 8 kbyte blocks for higher performance should
|
||
|
use fragment sizes of at least 1 kbytes to minimize the amount
|
||
|
of work required in conversion.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
A second, more important, consideration when selecting the
|
||
|
fragment size for a filesystem is the level of fragmentation
|
||
|
on the disk. With an 8:1 fragment to block ratio, storage fragmentation
|
||
|
occurs much sooner, particularly with a busy filesystem running
|
||
|
near full capacity. By comparison, the level of fragmentation in a
|
||
|
4:1 fragment to block ratio filesystem is one tenth as severe. This
|
||
|
means that on filesystems where many files are created and
|
||
|
deleted, the 512 byte fragment size is more likely to result in apparent
|
||
|
space exhaustion because of fragmentation. That is, when the filesystem
|
||
|
is nearly full, file expansion that requires locating a
|
||
|
contiguous area of disk space is more likely to fail on a 512
|
||
|
byte filesystem than on a 1 kbyte filesystem. To minimize
|
||
|
fragmentation problems of this sort, a parameter in the super
|
||
|
block specifies a minimum acceptable free space threshold. When
|
||
|
normal users (i.e. anyone but the super-user) attempt to allocate
|
||
|
disk space and the free space threshold is exceeded, the user is
|
||
|
returned an error as if the filesystem were really full. This
|
||
|
parameter is nominally set to 5%; it may be changed by supplying
|
||
|
a parameter to
|
||
|
.Xr newfs (8),
|
||
|
or by updating the super block of an existing filesystem using
|
||
|
.Xr tunefs (8).
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
Finally, a third, less common consideration is the attributes of
|
||
|
the disk itself. The fragment size should not be smaller than the
|
||
|
physical sector size of the disk. As an example, the HP magneto-optical
|
||
|
disks have 1024 byte physical sectors. Using a 512 byte fragment size
|
||
|
on such disks will work but is extremely inefficient.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
Note that the above discussion considers block sizes of up to only 8k.
|
||
|
As of the 4.4 release, the maximum block size has been increased to 64k.
|
||
|
This allows an entirely new set of block/fragment combinations for which
|
||
|
there is little experience to date.
|
||
|
In general though, unless a filesystem is to be used
|
||
|
for a special purpose application (for example, storing
|
||
|
image processing data), we recommend using the
|
||
|
values supplied above.
|
||
|
Remember that the current
|
||
|
implementation limits the block size to at most 64 kbytes
|
||
|
and the ratio of block size versus fragment size must be 1, 2, 4, or 8.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The disk geometry information used by the filesystem
|
||
|
affects the block layout policies employed. The file
|
||
|
.Pn /etc/disktab ,
|
||
|
as supplied, contains the data for most
|
||
|
all drives supported by the system. Before constructing
|
||
|
a filesystem with
|
||
|
.Xr newfs (8)
|
||
|
you should label the disk (if it has not yet been labeled,
|
||
|
and the driver supports labels).
|
||
|
If labels cannot be used, you must instead
|
||
|
specify the type of disk on which the filesystem resides;
|
||
|
.Xr newfs
|
||
|
then reads
|
||
|
.Pn /etc/disktab
|
||
|
instead of the pack label.
|
||
|
This file also contains the default
|
||
|
filesystem partition
|
||
|
sizes, and default block and fragment sizes. To
|
||
|
override any of the default values you can modify the file,
|
||
|
edit the disk label,
|
||
|
or use an option to
|
||
|
.Xr newfs .
|
||
|
.Sh 3 "Implementing a layout"
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
To put a chosen disk layout into effect, you should use the
|
||
|
.Xr newfs (8)
|
||
|
command to create each new filesystem.
|
||
|
Each filesystem must also be added to the file
|
||
|
.Pn /etc/fstab
|
||
|
so that it will be checked and mounted when the system is bootstrapped.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
First we will consider a system with a single disk.
|
||
|
There is little real choice on how to do the layout;
|
||
|
the root filesystem goes in the ``a'' partition,
|
||
|
.Pn /usr
|
||
|
goes in the ``e'' partition, and
|
||
|
.Pn /var
|
||
|
fills out the remainder of the disk in the ``f'' partition.
|
||
|
This is the organization used if you loaded the disk-image root filesystem.
|
||
|
With the addition of a memory-based
|
||
|
.Pn /tmp
|
||
|
filesystem, its fstab entry would be as follows:
|
||
|
.TS
|
||
|
center;
|
||
|
lfC lfC l l n n.
|
||
|
/dev/\*(Dk0a / ufs rw 1 1
|
||
|
/dev/\*(Dk0b none swap sw 0 0
|
||
|
/dev/\*(Dk0b /tmp mfs rw,-s=14000,-b=8192,-f=1024,-T=sd660 0 0
|
||
|
/dev/\*(Dk0e /usr ufs ro 1 2
|
||
|
/dev/\*(Dk0f /var ufs rw 1 2
|
||
|
.TE
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
If we had a second disk, we would split the load between the drives.
|
||
|
On the second disk, we place the
|
||
|
.Pn /usr
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.Pn /var
|
||
|
filesystems in their usual \*(Dk1e and \*(Dk1f
|
||
|
partitions respectively.
|
||
|
The \*(Dk1b partition would be used as a second paging area,
|
||
|
and the \*(Dk1a partition left as a spare root filesystem
|
||
|
(alternatively \*(Dk1a could be used for
|
||
|
.Pn /var/tmp ).
|
||
|
The first disk still holds the
|
||
|
the root filesystem in \*(Dk0a, and the primary swap area in \*(Dk0b.
|
||
|
The \*(Dk0e partition is used to hold home directories in
|
||
|
.Pn /var/users .
|
||
|
The \*(Dk0f partition can be used for
|
||
|
.Pn /usr/src
|
||
|
or alternately the \*(Dk0e partition can be extended to cover
|
||
|
the rest of the disk with
|
||
|
.Xr disklabel (8).
|
||
|
As before, the
|
||
|
.Pn /tmp
|
||
|
directory is a memory-based filesystem.
|
||
|
Note that to interleave the paging between the two disks
|
||
|
you must build a system configuration that specifies:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
config vmunix root on \*(Dk0 swap on \*(Dk0 and \*(Dk1
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Pn /etc/fstab
|
||
|
file would then contain
|
||
|
.TS
|
||
|
center;
|
||
|
lfC lfC l l n n.
|
||
|
/dev/\*(Dk0a / ufs rw 1 1
|
||
|
/dev/\*(Dk0b none swap sw 0 0
|
||
|
/dev/\*(Dk1b none swap sw 0 0
|
||
|
/dev/\*(Dk0b /tmp mfs rw,-s=14000,-b=8192,-f=1024,-T=sd660 0 0
|

|
/dev/\*(Dk1e /usr ufs ro 1 2
|
||
|
/dev/\*(Dk0f /usr/src ufs rw 1 2
|

|
/dev/\*(Dk1f /var ufs rw 1 2
|
||
|
/dev/\*(Dk0e /var/users ufs rw 1 2

.PP
|
||
|
At this point you should have your disks partitioned.
|
||
|
The next step is to extract the rest of the data from the tape.
|
||
|
At a minimum you need to set up the
|
||
|
.Pn /var
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.Pn /usr
|
||
|
filesystems.
|
||
|
You may also want to extract some or all the program sources.
|
||
|
Since not all architectures support tape drives or don't support the
|
||
|
correct ones, you may need to extract the files indirectly using
|
||
|
.Xr rsh (1).
|
||
|
For example, for a directly connected tape drive you might do:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
\fB#\fP \fImt -f /dev/nr\*(Mt0 fsf\fP
|
||
|
\fB#\fP \fItar xbpf \*(Bz /dev/nr\*(Mt0\fP
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
The equivalent indirect procedure (where the tape drive is on machine ``foo'')
|
||
|
is:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
\fB#\fP \fIrsh foo mt -f /dev/nr\*(Mt0 fsf\fP
|
||
|
\fB#\fP \fIrsh foo dd if=/dev/nr\*(Mt0 bs=\*(Bzb | tar xbpf \*(Bz -\fP
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
Obviously, the target machine must be connected to the local network
|
||
|
for this to work.
|
||
|
To do this:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
\fB#\fP \fIecho 127.0.0.1 localhost >> /etc/hosts\fP
|
||
|
\fB#\fP \fIecho \fPyour.host.inet.number myname.my.domain myname\fI >> /etc/hosts\fP
|
||

\fB#\fP \fIecho \fPfriend.host.inet.number myfriend.my.domain myfriend\fI >> /etc/hosts\fP
|
||
|
\fB#\fP \fIifconfig le0 inet \fPmyname
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
where the ``host.inet.number'' fields are the IP addresses for your host and
|
||
|
the host with the tape drive
|
||
|
and the ``my.domain'' fields are the names of your machine and the tape-hosting
|
||
|
machine.
|
||
|
See sections 4.4 and 5 for more information on setting up the network.

If there are inconsistencies in the filesystem, you may be prompted
|
||
|
to apply corrective action; see the
|
||
|
.Xr fsck (8)

|
or \fIFsck \(en The UNIX File System Check Program\fP (SMM:3) for more details.

To use the
|
||
|
.Pn /usr/src
|
||
|
filesystem, you should now remount it with:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
\fB#\fP \fImount /dev/\*(Dk0f /usr/src\fP
|
||
|
.DE
|
||
|
or if you have made an entry for it in
|
||
|
.Pn /etc/fstab
|
||
|
you can remount it with:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
\fB#\fP \fImount /usr/src\fP
|
||
|

After setting up the new \*(4B filesystems, you may restore the user
|
||
|
files that were saved on tape before beginning the conversion.
|
||
|
Note that the \*(4B
|
||
|
.Xr restore
|
||
|
program does its work on a mounted filesystem using normal system operations.
|
||
|
This means that filesystem dumps may be restored even
|
||
|
if the characteristics of the filesystem changed.
|
||
|
To restore a dump tape for, say, the
|
||
|
.Pn /a
|
||
|
filesystem something like the following would be used:
|
||
|
.DS
|
||
|
\fB#\fP \fImkdir /a\fP
|
||
|
\fB#\fP \fInewfs \*(Dk#p\fI
|
||
|
\fB#\fP \fImount /dev/\*(Dk#p /a\fP
|
||
|
\fB#\fP \fIcd /a\fP
|
||
|
\fB#\fP \fIrestore x\fP

If
|
||
|
.Xr tar
|
||
|
images were written instead of doing a dump, you should
|
||
|
be sure to use its `\-p' option when reading the files back. No matter
|
||
|
how you restore a filesystem, be sure to unmount it and and check its
|
||
|
integrity with
|
||
|
.Xr fsck (8)
|
||
|
when the job is complete.
