<p><a href="http://www.netbsd.org/ports/pmppc/">NetBSD/pmppc</a> can 
run in GXemul on an emulated Artesyn PM/PPC board. Currently, no SCSI or other
disk controller is emulated for this machine type, but it is possible to run
NetBSD with root-on-nfs.



<p><br>
<a name="netbsdpmppc"></a>
<h3>NetBSD/pmppc:</h3>

<p>
<a href="20070616-netbsd-pmppc-diskless.png"><img src="20070616-netbsd-pmppc-diskless_small.png"></a>

<p>These setup steps will let you run NetBSD/pmppc with root-on-nfs:

<p>
<ol>
  <li>First of all, the "<tt>nfs server</tt>" machine must be set up.
	This needs to have a 750 MB <tt>/tftpboot</tt> partition.
	<a href="#netbsdpmaxinstall">Install NetBSD/pmax 3.1 from CDROM</a>.
	(Don't forget to add the extra partition!)
  <p>
  <li>Configure the nfs server machine to act as an nfs server.
	Start up the emulated DECstation:<pre>
	<b>gxemul -e 3max -d nbsd_pmax.img</b>
</pre>and enter the following commands as <tt>root</tt>
	inside the emulator:
<p><table border="0"><tr><td><tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</tt></td><td><pre>
<b>echo hostname=server &gt;&gt; /etc/rc.conf
echo ifconfig_le0=\"inet 10.0.0.2\" &gt;&gt; /etc/rc.conf
echo nameserver 10.0.0.254 &gt;&gt; /etc/resolv.conf
echo 10.0.0.254 &gt; /etc/mygate
echo /tftpboot -maproot=root 10.0.0.1 &gt; /etc/exports
echo rpcbind=YES &gt;&gt; /etc/rc.conf
echo nfs_server=YES &gt;&gt; /etc/rc.conf
echo mountd=YES &gt;&gt; /etc/rc.conf
echo bootparamd=YES &gt;&gt; /etc/rc.conf
printf "client root=10.0.0.2:/tftpboot \\\n swap=10.0.0.2:/tftpboot/swap\n" &gt; /etc/bootparams
echo "bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/bootpd bootpd -d 4 -h 10.0.0.2" &gt;&gt; /etc/inetd.conf
cat &gt;&gt; /etc/bootptab
client:\
        :ht=ether:\
        :ha=102030000010:\
        :sm=255.0.0.0:\
        :lg=10.0.0.254:\
        :ip=10.0.0.1:\
        :rp=/tftpboot:
</b>(press CTRL-D)
<b>echo "10:20:30:00:00:10 client" &gt; /etc/ethers
echo 10.0.0.1 client &gt; /etc/hosts
reboot</b>
</pre></td></tr></table>
  <p>
  <li>Download the NetBSD/pmppc CD-ROM iso image, and the GENERIC kernel:<pre>
	<a href="ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/iso/3.1/pmppccd-3.1.iso">ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/iso/3.1/pmppccd-3.1.iso</a>
	<a href="ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-3.1/pmppc/binary/kernel/netbsd-PMPPC.gz">ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-3.1/pmppc/binary/kernel/netbsd-PMPPC.gz</a>

</pre>
  <li>Start the DECstation emulation again:<pre>
	<b>gxemul -e 3max -d nbsd_pmax.img -d pmppccd-3.1.iso</b>

</pre>and extract the files from the PM/PPC CD-ROM image to the
	DECstation disk image:
<p><table border="0"><tr><td><tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</tt></td><td><pre>
<b>cd /tftpboot; mount /dev/cd0a /mnt
for a in /mnt/*/binary/sets/[bcemt]*; do echo $a; tar zxfp $a; done
echo 10.0.0.2:/tftpboot / nfs rw 0 0 &gt; /tftpboot/etc/fstab
echo rc_configured=YES &gt;&gt; /tftpboot/etc/rc.conf
echo 10.0.0.254 &gt;&gt; /tftpboot/etc/mygate
echo nameserver 10.0.0.254 &gt;&gt; /tftpboot/etc/resolv.conf
echo rc_configured=YES &gt;&gt; /tftpboot/etc/rc.conf
dd if=/dev/zero of=swap bs=1024 count=65536
cd /tftpboot/dev; sh MAKEDEV all
cd /; umount /mnt; halt</b>
</pre></td></tr></table>
  <p>
  <li>Create a configuration file called <tt>config_client</tt>:
<table border="0"><tr><td><tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</tt></td><td><pre>
<font color="#2020cf">!  Configuration file for running NetBSD/pmppc diskless with
!  a NetBSD/pmax machine as the nfs server.</font>

<b>net(
	add_remote("localhost:12444")   </b>! the server<b>
	local_port(12445)               </b>! the client<b>
)

machine(
	name("client machine")
	serial_nr(1)

        type("pmppc")

        load("netbsd-PMPPC.gz")</b>
)
</b>
</pre></td></tr></table>
	... and another configuration file for the server,
	<tt>config_server</tt>:
<table border="0"><tr><td><tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</tt></td><td><pre>
<b>net(
	local_port(12444)               </b>! the server<b>
	add_remote("localhost:12445")   </b>! the client<b>
)

machine(
	name("nfs server")
	serial_nr(2)

        type("dec")
        subtype("5000/200")

        disk("nbsd_pmax.img")
)
</b>
</pre></td></tr></table>
</ol>

<p>It should now be possible to boot NetBSD/pmppc using the NetBSD/pmax
nfs server, using the following commands: (NOTE! Execute these two 
commands in separate xterms!)<pre>
	<b>gxemul @config_server</b>
	<b>gxemul @config_client</b>
</pre>

<p>You might want to log in as <tt>root</tt> on the server machine, and
run <tt>tcpdump -lnvv</tt> or similar, to see that what the client machine
actually does on the network.

<p>When asked for "<tt>root device:</tt>" etc. on the client machine, enter
the following values:<pre>
	root device: <b>tlp0</b>
	dump device: 				<b>(leave blank)</b>
	file system (default generic): 		<b>(leave blank)</b>
	..
	init path (default /sbin/init):		<b>(leave blank)</b>
</pre>
