-The macppc-specific portion of the NetBSD _VER release is found in the
-"macppc" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid
-out as follows:
-
-.../NetBSD-_VER/macppc/
-
- INSTALL Installation notes (this file);
-
- binary/
- sets/ macppc binary distribution sets;
- see below.
-
- security/ macppc security distribution; see below.

-
-The NetBSD/macppc binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
-comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the macppc. There are seven binary
-distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary
-distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the "macppc/binary"
-subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution tree, and are as follows:
-
- base The NetBSD/macppc _VER base binary distribution. You
- MUST install this distribution set. It contains the
- base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the system
- to run and be minimally functional. It includes shared
- library support, and excludes everything described below.
- [ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
-
- comp The NetBSD/macppc Compiler tools. All of the tools
- relating to C, C++, Objective C, and FORTRAN (yes, there
- are two, although NO FORTRAN compiler!). This set
- includes the system include files (/usr/include), the
- linker, the compiler tool chain, and the various system
- libraries (except the shared libraries, which are
- included as part of the base set). This set also
- includes the manual pages for all of the utilities it
- contains, as well as the system call and library manual
- pages.
- [ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
-
- etc This distribution set contains the system configuration
- files that reside in /etc 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.)
- [ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
-
- games This set includes the games and their manual pages.
- [ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
-
- man This set includes all of the manual pages for the
- binaries and other software contained in the base set.
- Note that it does not include any of the manual pages
- that are included in the other sets.
- [ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
-
- misc This set includes the system dictionaries (which are
- rather large), the typesettable document set, and manual
- pages for other architectures which happen to be
- installed from the source tree by default.
- [ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
-
- text This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
- including groff, all related programs, and their
- manual pages.
- [ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
-
- xbase This set includes X11R6.3 programs, libraries and manual
- pages.
- [ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
-
- xcomp This set includes X11R6.3 header files, static libraries
- and manual pages needed to compile X Window programs.
- [ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
-
- xcontrib This set is the X11R6.3 contributed software collection,
- made up from programs in the contrib distribution.
- [ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
-
- xfont This set contains the X11R6.3 fonts.
- [ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
-
- xserver This set contains X Windows server programs and
- accompanying manual pages.
- [ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
-
-
-The macppc security distribution set is named "secr" and can be found
-in the "macppc/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution
-tree. It contains crypt.c (the source file for the DES encryption
-algorithm) and the binaries which depend on it. It can only be found
-on those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that
-can legally obtain it. (Remember, because of United States law, it
-may not be legal to distribute this set to locations outside of the
-United States and Canada.) [ 127K gzipped, 337K uncompressed ]
-
-The macppc binary distribution sets are distributed in the same form as
-the source distribution sets; catted together, the members of a set
-form a gzipped tar file. Each macppc binary distribution set also has
-its own "CKSUMS" file, just as the source distribution sets do. The
-binary sets are "rooted" at /, that is, if you want to extract the
-binaries "into" your system, i.e. replace the system binaries with
-them, you have to run the "tar xfp" from /.

-Installing
-.Nx
-is a relatively complex process, but if you have this document in
-hand and are careful to read and remember the information which is
-presented to you by the install program, it shouldn't be too much
-trouble.
-.Pp
-Before you begin, you should know the geometry of your hard disk, i.e.
-the sector size (note that sector sizes other than 512 bytes are not
-currently supported), the number of sectors per track, the number of
-tracks per cylinder (also known as the number of heads), and the
-number of cylinders on the disk. The
-.Nx
-kernel will try to discover these parameters on its own, and if it can
-it will print them at boot time. If possible, you should use the
-parameters it prints.
-.Pp
-If
-.Nx
-will be sharing the disk with RiscOS or another operating
-system, you should have already completed the section of these notes
-that instructed you on how to prepare your hard disk. You should know
-the size of the
-.Nx
-area of the disk and its offset from the
-beginning of the disk. You will need this information when setting up
-your
-.Nx
-partitions.
-.Pp
-You should now be ready to install NetBSD. It might be handy for you
-to have a pencil, some paper, and a calculator handy.
-.Pp
-The following is a walk-through of the steps you will take while
-getting
-.Nx
-installed on your hard disk. If any question has a
-default answer, it will be displayed in brackets ("[]") after the
-question. If you wish to stop the installation, you may hit Control-C
-at any time, but if you do, you'll have to begin the installation
-process again from scratch.
-
-Boot your machine using the installation kernel for your
-platform. (Instructions for doing this on your platform can be
-found in the preparation section of this document.)
-
-If this doesn't work, ensure that you're using the correct
-kernel for your hardware.
-
-Depending upon your platform and the method of loading the,
-it may take a while to load the kernel.
-
-You will then be presented with the
-.Nx
-kernel boot
-messages. You will want to read them, to determine your
-disk's name and geometry. Its name will be something like
-"sd0" or "wd0" and the geometry will be printed on a line that
-begins with its name. As mentioned above, you will need your
-disk's geometry when creating NetBSD's partitions. You will
-also need to know the name, to tell the install tools what
-disk to install on.
-
-While booting, you will probably see several warnings. You
-should be warned that no swap space is present, and that
-init(8) cannot find
-.Pa /etc/rc.
-Do not be alarmed, these are
-completely normal. When you reach the prompt asking you for a
-shell name, just hit return.
-
-You will be asked if you wish to install or upgrade your
-system or go to a shell prompt. Enter
-.Ic install .
-
-You will be presented with a welcome message and a prompt,
-asking if you wish to proceed with the installation process.
-If you wish to proceed, enter
-.Ic y
-and hit return.
-
-You will be asked what type of disk driver you have. The
-valid options are listed by the install program, to make sure
-you get it right.
-
-The install program will then tell you which disks of that
-type it can install on, and ask you which it should use.
-Reply with the name of your disk. (The first disk of the type
-you selected, either "wd0" for IDE disks, or "sd0" for SCSI
-disks, is the default.)
-
-You will then be asked to name your disk's disklabel. The
-default response is "mywd" or "mysd" depending on the type of
-your disk, and for most purposes it will be OK. If you choose
-to name it something different, make sure the name is a single
-word and contains no special characters. You don't need to
-remember this name.
-
-You will be prompted for your disk's geometry information,
-i.e. the number of bytes per sector, cylinders on the disk,
-tracks per cylinder (heads), and sectors per track. Enter
-them when they are requested. If you make a mistake, hit
-Control-C and when you get to the shell prompt, restart the
-install process by running the
-.Ic install
-command. Once you
-have entered this data, the install program will tell you the
-total size of your disk, in both sectors, and cylinders.
-Remember this number; if you're installing on the whole disk,
-you'll need it again soon.
-
-When describing your partitions, you will have the option of
-entering data about them in units of disk sectors or
-cylinders. If you choose to enter the information in units of
-sectors, remember that, for optimal performance, partitions
-should begin and end on cylinder boundaries. You will be
-asked about which units you wish to use, and you should reply
