NetBSD trial-pack for KURO-BOX/LinkStation/TeraStation

(The status is "experimental". If you feel something wrong, please notify me. Thank you.)

Feature

  • It based on NetBSD 3.0.1.
  • It uses MDROOT (aka RAMDISK root filesystem).
    • You will not need to modify the partitions of your box.
    • Also you will not need to purchase an USB-memory.
  • The Serial-Console is not necessary.
    • It will get the IP-Address from DHCP.
    • Also it can use the IP-Address 192.168.200.200/24, or 192.168.200.210/24 statically.
      • *.200 is for LS1/KURO. *.210 is for LS-HG/KUROHG/TeraStation.
    • It can login with serial-console or telnet. The user is "root" and no password.
    • The ftpd is working.
      • It only can use with password, so you must set the password with "passwd" command.
    • There is many commands available. (See below)
      • "tcsh", "wget" is also available.
    • It can use installation of NetBSD onto your box.
    • It also can repair your NetBSD'ed box.

Download


Boot

  • On Linux, "insmod nbloader_v3.o kernel=netbsd.bin"
    • It is recommended that use of my boot selector. It can boot more safely than above.

Login

  • After booting up, you may access the box with serial-console or telnet.
    • The IP-Address is take from DHCP server of your network.
    • If you have not DHCP server, you must set your PC's address as (for example) 192.168.200.100/255.255.255.0, and telnet at 192.168.200.200 or 192.168.200.210.

How to shutdown/reboot

  • It may power-off with "shutdown -h now".
  • It also may reboot with "shutdown -r now".
  • Of course, it can use the "power button".

How to use ftpd.

  • Instantly, add password to "root" (take "passwd root").
  • Then you may login ftp with "root".

How to install NetBSD/sandpoint 3.1 onto your box with the "trial-pack"

(*CAUTION*) Backup your hard drive's entity before take these steps.
  • Boot with "trial-pack" kernel.
  • Create the NetBSD slice with "fdisk" command.
  • Create the NetBSD partitions with "disklabel" command.
  • Format partitions with "newfs" command.
  • Mount the partitions at "/mnt" with "mount" command.
    • It must keep the tree-structure. For example, "/mnt", "/mnt/var", "/mnt/usr", ...
  • Extract NetBSD/sandpoint 3.1 tarballs at "/mnt". At least, "base.tgz" and "etc.tgz" are needed.
    • To keep permissions/owners, it is needed that "tar" with "p" option ("tar zxvpf base.tgz").
  • Extract kuro_annex31.20061029.tar.bz2 at /mnt.
    • It must also use "p" option to tar command.
  • "cd /mnt/etc" and "sh MAKEDEV all".
  • Edit /mnt/etc/fstab to fit your partitions.
  • Edit /mnt/etc/rc.conf to fit your environments.

  • On Linux, take *normal* kernel from here and extract it.
  • It may boot with "insmod nbloader_v3.o kernel=netbsd.GENERIC3_1.20061029.bin cmdline=bootdev=wd0a".

  • If something wrong, take "trial-pack" kernel and solve the problem. Good luck!
