<h3>NetBSD/evbarm:</h3> |

|

800 |
|
<a href="http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/evbarm/">NetBSD/evbarm</a> can |

805 |
|
|
806 |
|
<p>It is tricky to install, because there is (as far as I know) no INSTALL |
807 |
|
kernel. One way to install the NetBSD/evbarm distribution onto a disk |
808 |
|
image is to install the files using another (emulated) machine. |
809 |
|
|
810 |
|
<p>The following instructions will let you install NetBSD/evbarm onto a disk |
811 |
|
image, from an emulated CATS machine: |
812 |
|
|
813 |
|
<p> |
814 |
|
<ol> |
815 |
|
<li>Install NetBSD/cats 3.0 according to instructions |
816 |
|
<a href="#netbsdcatsinstall">further up on this page</a>. |
817 |
|
<p> |
818 |
|
<li>Create an empty harddisk image, which will be the disk image |
819 |
|
that you will install NetBSD onto:<pre> |
820 |
|
<b>dd if=/dev/zero of=nbsd_iq80321.img bs=1024 count=1 seek=999000</b> |
821 |
|
|
822 |
|
</pre> |
823 |
|
<li>Download an IQ80321 kernel with wdc support, and the 2.1 ISO image:<pre> |

828 |
|
<p> |
829 |
|
<li>The first step is to copy the .tgz files we want onto the CATS |
830 |
|
machine's harddisk. Start the CATS machine like this:<pre> |
831 |
|
<b>gxemul -XEcats -d nbsd_cats.img -d evbarmcd.iso netbsd.aout-GENERIC.gz</b> |
832 |

837 |
|
</pre></td></tr></table> |
838 |
|
<p> |
839 |
|
<li>Now let's extract the files onto the IQ80321's disk image. Start the |
840 |
|
CATS machine again, with the following command line:<pre> |
841 |
|

<h3>OpenBSD/arc:</h3> |
|
|
|
|
|
It is possible to install and run OpenBSD/arc on an emulated Acer PICA-61 |
|
|
in the emulator. |
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|

|
<a href="20041024-openbsd-arc-installed.gif"><img src="20041024-openbsd-arc-installed_small.gif"></a> |
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
(You should be aware of the fact that OpenBSD for the ARC platform died at |
|
|
release 2.3, so this will not give you an up-to-date OpenBSD system. |
|
|
See |
|
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/arc.html">http://www.openbsd.org/arc.html</a> |
|
|
for more information.) |
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
To install OpenBSD/arc onto an emulated harddisk image, follow these |
|
|
instructions: |
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
<ol> |
|
|
<li>Create an empty harddisk image, which will be the root disk |
|
|
that OpenBSD installs itself onto:<pre> |
|
|
<b>dd if=/dev/zero of=obsd_arc.img bs=1024 count=1 seek=700000</b> |
|
|
|
|
|
</pre> |
|
|
<li>Download the entire arc directory from the ftp server: (approx. 75 MB)<pre> |
|
|
<b>wget -np -l 0 -r <a href="ftp://ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/2.3/arc/">ftp://ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/2.3/arc/</a></b> |
|
|
|
|
|
</pre> |
|
|
|
|
|
<li>You now need to make an ISO image of the entire directory you downloaded. |
|
|
(I recommend using <tt>mkisofs</tt> for that purpose. If you don't |
|
|
already have <tt>mkisofs</tt> installed on your system, you need |
|
|
to install it in order to do this.)<pre> |
|
|
<b>mkisofs -o openbsd_arc_2.3.iso ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/</b> |
|
|
|
|
|
</pre> |
|
|
<li>Start the emulator using this command line:<pre> |
|
|
<b>gxemul -e pica -X -A -d obsd_arc.img -d b:openbsd_arc_2.3.iso -j 2.3/arc/bsd.rd</b> |
|
|
|
|
|
</pre> |
|
|
and proceed like you would do if you were installing OpenBSD |
|
|
on a real Acer PICA-61. (Answer 'no' when asked if you want to |
|
|
configure networking, and then install from CD-ROM.) |
|
|
</ol> |
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
Once the install has finished, the following command should let you |
|
|
boot from the harddisk image: |
|
|
<p> |
|
|
<pre> |
|
|
<b>gxemul -X -e pica -d obsd_arc.img ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/2.3/arc/bsd</b> |

<h3>OpenBSD/arc:</h3> |
1753 |
|
|
1754 |
|
It is (almost) possible to install and run OpenBSD/arc on an emulated Acer |
1755 |
|
PICA-61 in the emulator. |
1756 |
|
|
1757 |
|
<p><font color="#e00000">Earlier, I had this guest OS listed as |
1758 |
|
officially working in the emulator, but for several reasons, it has |
1759 |
|
been moved down here to the "informative-but-not-really-working" |
1760 |
|
section.</font> |
1761 |
|
|
1762 |
|
<p> |
1763 |
|
<ul> |
1764 |
|
<li>The last OpenBSD/arc release was 2.3. This means that it is very |
1765 |
|
old, it would not give a fair picture of what OpenBSD is (if you |
1766 |
|
are just looking to find out what it is like), and it is not |
1767 |
|
worth experimenting with it. See |
1768 |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/arc.html">http://www.openbsd.org/arc.html</a> |
1769 |
|
for more information. |
1770 |
|
<li>OpenBSD/arc was (if I understood things correctly) never really |
1771 |
|
stable, even on real hardare. Problems with too small an interrupt |
1772 |
|
stack. Bugs are triggered in the emulator that have to do with |
1773 |
|
issues such as this. |

<font color="#e00000">Currently, I don't test for every release whether |
1782 |

or not OpenBSD/arc can be installed. Releases prior to 0.3.7 |

(but probably <i>not</i> 0.3.7) should work. Anyway, here are the |
1784 |
|
old installation instructions:</font> |
1785 |
|
|
1786 |
|
<p>To install OpenBSD/arc onto an emulated harddisk image, follow these |
1787 |
|
instructions: |
1788 |
|
|
1789 |
|
<p> |
1790 |
|
<ol> |
1791 |
|
<li>Create an empty harddisk image, which will be the root disk |
1792 |
|
that OpenBSD installs itself onto:<pre> |
1793 |
|
<b>dd if=/dev/zero of=obsd_arc.img bs=1024 count=1 seek=700000</b> |
1794 |
|
|
1795 |
|
</pre> |
1796 |
|
<li>Download the entire arc directory from the ftp server: (approx. 75 MB)<pre> |
1797 |
|
<b>wget -np -l 0 -r <a href="ftp://ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/2.3/arc/">ftp://ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/2.3/arc/</a></b> |
1798 |
|
|
1799 |
|
</pre> |
1800 |
|
|
1801 |
|
<li>You now need to make an ISO image of the entire directory you downloaded. |
1802 |
|
(I recommend using <tt>mkisofs</tt> for that purpose. If you don't |
1803 |
|
already have <tt>mkisofs</tt> installed on your system, you need |
1804 |
|
to install it in order to do this.)<pre> |
1805 |
|
<b>mkisofs -o openbsd_arc_2.3.iso ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/</b> |
1806 |
|
|
1807 |
|
</pre> |
1808 |
|
<li>Start the emulator using this command line:<pre> |
1809 |
|
<b>gxemul -e pica -X -A -d obsd_arc.img -d b:openbsd_arc_2.3.iso -j 2.3/arc/bsd.rd</b> |
1810 |
|
|
1811 |
|
</pre> |
1812 |
|
and proceed like you would do if you were installing OpenBSD |
1813 |
|
on a real Acer PICA-61. (Answer 'no' when asked if you want to |
1814 |
|
configure networking, and then install from CD-ROM.) |
1815 |
|
</ol> |
1816 |
|
|
1817 |
|
<p> |
1818 |
|
Once the install has finished, the following command should let you |
1819 |
|
boot from the harddisk image: |
1820 |
|
<p> |
1821 |
|
<pre> |
1822 |
|
<b>gxemul -X -e pica -d obsd_arc.img ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/2.3/arc/bsd</b> |
1823 |
|
|
1824 |
|
</pre> |
1825 |
|
|
1826 |
|
The system is very sensitive to (I think) kernel stack overflow, so it |
1827 |
|
crashes easily. If I remember correctly from mailing lists, this also |
1828 |
|
happened on real hardware. |

Debian GNU/Linux for CATS (ARM) could <i>theoretically</i> run in GXemul, |

however: |
1846 |
|
|
1847 |
|

1848 |
|
<li>The DEC 21143 NIC is not emulated well enough for Linux to accept it. |

<p>It doesn't work, though, because the NIC isn't working well enough. |
1875 |

1876 |

<p>The only use of Debian/CATS in the emulator right now is as a way to |
1877 |
|
manipulate Linux disk images, if you are on a non-Linux host. By choosing |
1878 |
|
"Execute a shell" in the installer's menu, you can have access to tools such as |
1879 |

fdisk and mke2fs, which are useful for creating Linux paritions on disk images. |
