#Redirect [[4.3 BSD+NFS Wisconsin Unix]]
 
 
You will need the following materials to put together a 4.3 BSD+NFS Wisconsin Unix installation:
 
 
 
*A working perl interpeter to make the tape images.<br>
 
*A copy of gzip.<br>
 
*A method of extracting the boot file from either the binaries (tar/gzip) or uudecode to extract it from [[boot42|here]].<br>
 
*A compiled binary of vax780 from [[SIMH]], along with the vmb.exe again from [[SIMH]].
 
*The [[Mkdisttap.pl]] program, you can take the settings from [[Mkdisttap.pl#Quasijarus_0c|Quasijarus]] as the names & block sizes match up.
 
 
 
 
 
You will need the following files from any 4 BSD archive from the 4.3BSD directory.  I have used the files from [http://mirror.cc.vt.edu/pub/Ancient_Unix/4BSD/Distributions/thirdparty/UWisc4.3/ mirror.cc.vt.edu].  You can use whatever method you like to download them, wget, a web browser etc..<br><br>

== Preparing for installation ==
 
 
 
 
 
With the files downloaded you will need to uncompress them all and then create the tape file.
 
 
 
The following command will decompress the tape files.
 
<pre>
 
gzip -d *.gz
 
</pre>
 
 
 
The tape needs to be created with the [[mkdisttap.pl]] program.  Simply run the program and redirect it into a file called uwisc.tap .
 
 
 
<pre>
 
% ./mkdisttap.pl > uwisc.tap
 
% ls -l uwisc.tap
 
-rw-r--r--  1 Neozeed  None  74337572 Apr  7 19:40 uwisc.tap
 
</pre>
 
 
 
 
 
Next you will need the boot program.  The boot program from [[4.2 BSD]] works with [[4.3 BSD]]. I have uploaded a copy onto this wiki in uuencoded format.  To decode it, simply access the [[BootHP|article]], and copy the contents of the quoted text (the begin/end part INCLUDING the begin & end segments) and save it to a text file.  Then you will need to run the uudecode file as follows:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
% ls -l boothp.uue
 
-rw-r--r--  1 Neozeed  None  10683 Apr  7 20:15 boothp.uue
 
% uudecode boothp.uue
 
% ls -l boothp
 
-rw-------  1 Neozeed  None  7736 Apr  7 20:20 boothp
 
% file boothp
 
boothp: data
 
%
 
</pre>
 
 
 
==  Boot 1. ==
 
 
 
We are going to use the following config file to start the first phase of the installation.  Save the following configuration into a file such as 'install.ini'.  Since we are going to boot directly into the miniroot the rq1 disk will hold the installation target.  Since the 'normal' way to install is to install from tape onto the first disk, we will have to add a device file uppon boot for the second disk, and be sure to point the xtr program to the second disk.

=== Booting the emulator ===
 
 
 
You then simply run the emulator and pass it the config file.  You will be prompted to "overwrite last track" answer y and hit enter.

=== Restoring the rootdump ===
 
 
 
From here we are now running from the miniroot.  The next steps are as follows:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
# cd /dev
 
# ./MAKEDEV hp1
 
# cd /
 
# disk=hp1 type=rp06 tape=ts xtr
 
</pre>
 
 
 
This will create a 'device' for the hp1 disk, then run the xtr program to restore the root dump.  Take note that the chgrp & chmod commands are not found, however the install will proceed as normal.
 
 
 
<pre>
 
# cd /dev
 
# ./MAKEDEV hp1

./MAKEDEV: chgrp: not found
 
./MAKEDEV: chmod: not found
 
# cd /

After this stage, I just sync the disk a few times, then halt the emulator (CONTROL+E) and exit out.  Now we are ready for stage two.

==  Boot 2. ==
 
 
 
Now that the install disk is prepared, we need to use a different config file to reflect us going back to a single disk/tape configuration.  The new configuration is as follows:
 
 
 
=== boot.ini ===
 
<pre>
 
set rq0 ra81
 
att rq0 rq.dsk
 
set rq1 dis
 
set rq2 dis
 
set rq3 dis
 
set rp dis
 
set lpt dis
 
set rl dis
 
set tq dis
 
set tu dis
 
att ts uwisc.tap
 
set tti 7b
 
set tto 7b
 
load -o boot42 0
 
d r10 9
 
d r11 0
 
run 2
 
</pre>
 
 
 
=== Booting the emulator ===
 
 
 
Now boot up the emulator with the boot.ini
 
 
 
<pre>
 
% ./vax780  boot.ini

=== Preparing the disk ===
 
 
 
Now we have to prep the machine for both the tape, and the type of disk.  Type in the following commands.
 
 
 
<pre>
 
# disk=hp
 
# name=hp0g;type=rp06
 
# cd /dev
 
# sh ./MAKEDEV ts0;sync
 
# cd /
 
# newfs $name $type
 
</pre>
 
 
 
The output will be like this:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
# newfs $name $type
 
Warning: 154 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated
 
/dev/rhp0g:    291192 sectors in 697 cylinders of 19 tracks, 22 sectors
 
        149.1Mb in 44 cyl groups (16 c/g, 3.42Mb/g, 1536 i/g)
 
super-block backups (for fsck -b#) at:
 
32, 6744, 13456, 20168, 26880, 33592, 40304, 47016, 53728, 60440,
 
67152, 73864, 80576, 87288, 94000, 100712, 107424, 114136, 120848, 127560,
 
134272, 140984, 147696, 154408, 161120, 167832, 174544, 181256, 187968, 194680,
 
 
 
201392, 208104, 214048, 220760, 227472, 234184, 240896, 247608, 254320, 261032,
 
 
 
267744, 274456, 281168, 287880,
 
</pre>
 
 
 
 
 
=== Restoring the usr slice ===
 
 
 
The disk's /usr slice will not have been formatted.  We can not go ahead and mount it, and restore the /usr files.  Then we unmount the slice, and run fsck to make sure everything is ok.
 
 
 
<pre>
 
# mount /dev/$name /usr
 
# cd /usr
 
# mkdir sys
 
# mt rew
 
# mt fsf 3
 
# tar xpbf 20 /dev/rmt12
 
# cd sys
 
# mt fsf
 
# tar xpbf 20 /dev/rmt12
 
</pre>

Life interrupts again... I'll have to finish later.. but it's just like a 4.3 BSD install.
