The third image is a .Li GENERIC kernel intended for production use in unusual cases. This can be useful at some sites when: .(bullet You want to run diskless but SRM bugs prevent the firmware from netbooting. You can work around this problem by always booting the generic kernel from the floppy. .It SRM doesn't recognize your (hard) disk controller but .Nx does. This happens more frequently than you might think. SRM will usually only boot from .Xr siop 4 or .Xr isp 4 SCSI devices, and on most platforms will not boot from an IDE drive. .Nx will happily operate with almost any SCSI root or an IDE root; the solution here is to netboot a kernel or always boot from floppy. .bullet) .\} . . .if \n[amiga] \{\ .Ss2 Miniroot file system The Amiga now uses a single miniroot file system for both an initial installation and for an upgrade.

This includes formatting and mounting your .Pa / (root) and .Pa /usr partitions and getting ready to extract (and possibly first fetching) the distribution sets. There is enough on this file system to allow you to make a slip connection, configure an ethernet, mount an NFS file system or ftp. You can also load distribution sets from a SCSI tape or from one of your existing .Tn GEMDOS partitions. .Pp The floppies meant for 720 KB disks are named .Pa miniroot.fs.1 and .Pa miniroot.fs.2 .

The usage is: .Pp .Dl Ic "gzip.ttp -d filename.gz" .It The .Ic rawwrite.ttp program allows you to create the installation floppy disks from the files in the .Pa atari/floppies directory. .It The .Ic aptck.ttp program reads the partition tables present on a given disk and tries to interpret then the same way the .Nx kernel does. If you have a disk on which .Tn GEMDOS and .Nx are to co-exist, It is a good idea to run this before you begin the .Nx*M installation just to check that the kernel's view of the partition tables agree with .Tn GEMDOS Ns 's view. If you have more than 3 partitions defined on a disk you will notice that the .Nx*M partition starts one sector after the .Tn GEMDOS partition. This is to allow space for the auxiliary root for the 4th and subsequent partitions. .It The .Ic loadbsd.ttp program loads the .Nx*M kernel from .Tn TOS (or .Tn MiNT , .Tn MultiTOS , etc.). .It The .Ic chg_pid.ttp program can be used to change the id of an .Tn AHDI compatible partition. This allows you to reserve a partition for use by .Nx*M (id: NBD), or for use as a swap (id: SWP) partition. .It The .Ic file2swp.ttp program can be used to transfer an installation file system image, like .Pa sysinst.fs to a partition with id SWP. In this way, you can run the installation from the swap partition instead of a memory disk. This is a necessity for small memory systems. .bullet) .\} . .\} . . .if \n[hpcmips] \{\ .Pp Additional kernels to those included in the distribution sets may be found in the .Pa hpcmips/binary/kernels subdirectory of the .Nx \*V distribution tree.

Some other important differences between the two installation methods are: .(bullet The Installer and Mkfs utilities are not used if the installation is done using the .Ic sysinst method via booting an Installation Kernel. .It Mkfs creates a 4.3BSD "old" format file system. This is the only file system format understood by the Installer. The .Ic sysinst process creates "new" file systems which can't be processed by Mkfs or the Installer. .It The Installer (and probably Mkfs) is known to have problems with BSD file systems that are larger than 1 GB or extend beyond the 1 GB physical limit. Keep this in mind if doing a Traditional method installation with these utilities. .It The Booter is known to have problems booting from a NetBSD file system if the inode of the kernel file is too large. For large disks it is advisable to have a small root partition and one or more usr-type partitions for other files. This ensures the inode of the kernel in the root file system will be small. .It The Booter is designed to work with 4.3BSD "old" file systems, but there are enough similarities between the "old" and "new" file system formats in the first few hundred blocks that the Booter can usually boot a Kernel from a 4.3BSD new file system. If you choose to use "new" file system formats, it is advisable to use a small root partition and one or more usr-type partitions for other files.
