Starting the Installation

Starting the Installation

Important: By default, the installation will not make any changes to your disk(s) until you see the following message:

A D V E R T I S E M E N T
Last Chance: Are you SURE you want continue the installation?

If you're running this on a disk with data you wish to save then WE
STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO MAKE PROPER BACKUPS before proceeding!

We can take no responsibility for lost disk contents!

The install can be exited at any time prior to the final warning without changing the contents of the hard drive. If you are concerned that you have configured something incorrectly you can just turn the computer off before this point, and no damage will be done.




2.4.1 Booting

2.4.1.1 Booting for the

i386
  1. Start with your computer turned off.
  2. Turn on the computer. As it starts it should display an option to enter the system set up menu, or BIOS, commonly reached by keys like F2, F10, Del, or Alt+S. Use whichever keystroke is indicated on screen. In some cases your computer may display a graphic while it starts. Typically, pressing Esc will dismiss the graphic and allow you to see the necessary messages.
  3. Find the setting that controls which devices the system boots from. This is usually labeled as the “Boot Order” and commonly shown as a list of devices, such as Floppy, CDROM, First Hard Disk, and so on.

    If you needed to prepare boot floppies, then make sure that the floppy disk is selected. If you are booting from the CDROM then make sure that that is selected instead. In case of doubt, you should consult the manual that came with your computer, and/or its motherboard.

    Make the change, then save and exit. The computer should now restart.

  4. If you needed to prepare boot floppies, as described in Section 2.3.7, then one of them will be the first boot disc, probably the one containing boot.flp. Put this disc in your floppy drive.

    If you are booting from CDROM, then you will need to turn on the computer, and insert the CDROM at the first opportunity.

    If your computer starts up as normal and loads your existing operating system, then either:

    1. The disks were not inserted early enough in the boot process. Leave them in, and try restarting your computer.
    2. The BIOS changes earlier did not work correctly. You should redo that step until you get the right option.
    3. Your particular BIOS does not support booting from the desired media.
  5. FreeBSD will start to boot. If you are booting from CDROM you will see a display similar to this (version information omitted):
    Booting from CD-Rom...
    CD Loader 1.2
    
    Building the boot loader arguments
    Looking up /BOOT/LOADER... Found
    Relocating the loader and the BTX
    Starting the BTX loader
    
    BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01
    Console: internal video/keyboard
    BIOS CD is cd0
    BIOS drive C: is disk0
    BIOS drive D: is disk1
    BIOS 639kB/261120kB available memory
    
    FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1
    
    Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf
    /boot/kernel/kernel text=0x64daa0 data=0xa4e80+0xa9e40 syms=[0x4+0x6cac0+0x4+0x88e9d]
    \
    

    If you are booting from floppy disc, you will see a display similar to this (version information omitted):

    Booting from Floppy...
    Uncompressing ... done
    
    BTX loader 1.00  BTX version is 1.01 
    Console: internal video/keyboard 
    BIOS drive A: is disk0 
    BIOS drive C: is disk1 
    BIOS 639kB/261120kB available memory 
    
    FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1
    
    Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf
    /kernel text=0x277391 data=0x3268c+0x332a8 |
    
    Insert disk labelled "Kernel floppy 1" and press any key...
    

    Follow these instructions by removing the boot.flp disc, insert the kern1.flp disc, and press Enter. Boot from first floppy; when prompted, insert the other disks as required.

  6. Whether you booted from floppy or CDROM, the boot process will then get to the FreeBSD boot loader menu:
    Figure 2-1. FreeBSD Boot Loader Menu

    Either wait ten seconds, or press Enter.

2.4.1.2 Booting for the Alpha

  1. Start with your computer turned off.
  2. Turn on the computer and wait for a boot monitor prompt.
  3. If you needed to prepare boot floppies, as described in Section 2.3.7 then one of them will be the first boot disc, probably the one containing boot.flp. Put this disc in your floppy drive and type the following command to boot the disk (substituting the name of your floppy drive if necessary):
    >>>BOOT DVA0 -FLAGS '' -FILE ''
    

    If you are booting from CDROM, insert the CDROM into the drive and type the following command to start the installation (substituting the name of the appropriate CDROM drive if necessary):

    >>>BOOT DKA0 -FLAGS '' -FILE ''
    
  4. FreeBSD will start to boot. If you are booting from a floppy disc, at some point you will see the message:
    Insert disk labelled "Kernel floppy 1" and press any key...
    

    Follow these instructions by removing the boot.flp disc, insert the kern1.flp disc, and press Enter.

  5. Whether you booted from floppy or CDROM, the boot process will then get to this point:
    Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt. 
    Booting [kernel] in 9 seconds... _
    

    Either wait ten seconds, or press Enter. This will then launch the kernel configuration menu.

2.4.1.3 Booting for

Sparc64®

Most Sparc64® systems are set up to boot automatically from disk. To install FreeBSD, you need to boot over the network or from a CDROM, which requires you to break into the PROM (OpenFirmware).

To do this, reboot the system, and wait until the boot message appears. It depends on the model, but should look about like:

Sun Blade 100 (UltraSPARC-IIe), Keyboard Present
Copyright 1998-2001 Sun Microsystems, Inc.  All rights reserved.
OpenBoot 4.2, 128 MB memory installed, Serial #51090132.
Ethernet address 0:3:ba:b:92:d4, Host ID: 830b92d4.

If your system proceeds to boot from disk at this point, you need to press L1+A or Stop+A on the keyboard, or send a BREAK over the serial console (using for example ~# in tip(1) or cu(1)) to get to the PROM prompt. It looks like this:

ok         (1)
ok {0}     (2)
(1)
This is the prompt used on systems with just one CPU.
(2)
This is the prompt used on SMP systems, the digit indicates the number of the active CPU.

At this point, place the CDROM into your drive, and from the PROM prompt, type boot cdrom.




2.4.2 Reviewing the Device Probe Results

The last few hundred lines that have been displayed on screen are stored and can be reviewed.

To review the buffer, press Scroll Lock. This turns on scrolling in the display. You can then use the arrow keys, or PageUp and PageDown to view the results. Press Scroll Lock again to stop scrolling.

Do this now, to review the text that scrolled off the screen when the kernel was carrying out the device probes. You will see text similar to Figure 2-2, although the precise text will differ depending on the devices that you have in your computer.

Figure 2-2. Typical Device Probe Results

Check the probe results carefully to make sure that FreeBSD found all the devices you expected. If a device was not found, then it will not be listed. A custom kernel allows you to add in support for devices which are not in the GENERIC kernel, such as sound cards.

For FreeBSD 6.2 and later, after the procedure of device probing, you will see Figure 2-3. Use the arrow key to choose a country, region, or group. Then press Enter, it will set your country and keymap easily. It is also easy to exit the sysinstall program and start over again.
