.IT "Select keyboard type"
|
|
When you are asked to select your national keyboard, do so.
|
|
This and other steps have a default choice, in square brackets.
|
|
If you agree with it, just hit ENTER. In most steps, the default is generally
|
|
a good choice for beginners.
|
|
The us-swap keyboard interchanges the CAPS LOCK and CTRL keys, as is conventional
|
|
on UNIX systems.
|
|
|
|
.IT "Select your Ethernet chip"
|
|
You will now be asked which of the available Ethernet driver you want
|
|
installed (or none). Please choose one of the options.
|
|
|
|
.IT "Create a partition for MINIX 3"
|
|
You will first be asked if you are an expert in MINIX 3 disk partitioning.
|
|
If so, you will be placed in the \fIpart\fR program to give you full power to
|
|
edit the Master Boot Record (and enough rope to hang yourself).
|
|
If you are not an expert, press ENTER for the default action, which is an
|
|
automated step-by-step guide to creating a disk partition.
|
|
|
|
\fBSubstep 2.1: Select a disk to install MINIX 3\fR
|
|
.PP
|
|
An IDE controller may have up to four disks. The \fIsetup\fR script will now
|
|
look for each one. Just ignore an error messages.
|
|
When the drives are listed, select one. and confirm your choice.
|
|
If you have two hard disks and install MINIX 3 to the second one and have
|
|
trouble booting from it, please see \fIwww.minix3.org/doc/using2disks.html\fR
|
|
for the solution.
|
|
|
|
\fBSubstep 2.2: Select a disk region\fR
|
|
.PP
|
|
You must now choose a region to install MINIX 3 into. You have three choices:
|
|
.sp 0.5v
|
|
(1) Select a free region
|
|
(2) Select a partition to overwrite
|
|
(3) Delete an existing partition to free up space and merge with adjacent free space
|
|
.sp 0.5v
|
|
For choices (1) and (2), type the region number. For (3) type
|
|
.Cb
|
|
delete
|
|
.Ce
|
|
then give the region number when asked.
|
|
|
|
\fBSubstep 2.3: Confirm your choices\fR
|
|
.PP
|
|
You have now reached the point of no return. You will be asked if you want to
|
|
continue. \fBIf you do, the data in the selected region will be lost forever.\fR
|
|
If you are sure, type:
|
|
.Cb
|
|
yes
|
|
.Ce
|
|
and then ENTER. To exit the setup script without changing the
|
|
partition table, hit CTRL-C.
|
|
|
|
.IT "Select a block size"
|
|
Disk block sizes of 1-KB, 2-KB, 4-KB, and 8-KB are supported, but
|
|
to use a size larger than 4-KB you have to change a constant and recompile
|
|
the system. If your memory is 16 MB or more, use the default (4 KB); with
|
|
smaller memories, use 1 KB.
|
|
|
|
.IT "Wait for bad block detection"
|
|
The setup script will now scan for bad disk blocks. This will take
|
|
several minutes, possibly 10 minutes or more on a large partition.
|
|
Please be patient.
|
|
If you are absolutely certain there are no bad blocks, you can kill the scan
|
|
by hitting CTRL-C.
|
|
|
|
.IT "Wait for files to be copied"
|
|
When the scan finishes, files will be automatically copied from the CD-ROM to
|
|
the hard disk. Every file will be announced as it is copied.
|
|
When the copying is complete, MINIX 3 is installed.
|
|
Shut the system down by typing
|
|
.Cb
|
|
shutdown
|
|
.Ce
|
|
Always stop MINIX 3 this way to avoid data loss as MINIX 3 keeps some files on
|
|
the RAM disk and only copies them back to the hard disk at shutdown time.
