-) **********************  Making Install disks.  *************************

-) Locate the images:

    -) the images are located in the directory: /afs/austin/u/rogerf/IMAGE

-) To make RT install diskettes on an AIX-2.2.1 RT:
    (or any other Unix machine which has a 5 1/4 high density drive)

    Make the SAUTIL disk:

    -) format /dev/rfd0
    -) dd of=/dev/rfd0 if=sautil.image bs=8192

    Make the MINIROOT disk:

    -) format /dev/rfd0
    -) dd of=/dev/rfd0 if=miniroot.image bs=8192


-) **********************  Using the SAUTIL disk.  *************************

-) start with the sautil disk
    -) set up disk partions 

	==================================================
	(for a 310 meg drive:)

	-) choose the minidisk (10) option in sautil.
	-) choose a disk, type:
	    (this means hard-drive #0, partition 2, where partition
	     2 implies the entire drive).

	hd(0,2)

	-) type 'i' (initialize)
	-) type:
	    (the following will create the boot, root (hd0a),
	     swap (hd0b), usr (hd0g), var (hd0e), X11 (hd0h),
	     and home (hd0d) partitions).

	c boot 32736 374 01
	c hd0a 32737 20000 00
	c hd0b 32738 80000 20
	c hd0g 32739 100000 00
	c hd0e 32740 80000 00
	c hd0h 32741 120000 00

	(at this point, you can hit 'l' to list the partions so
	 far, and make the d partion the rest of the disk)

	c hd0d 32742 200000 00

	==================================================
	(for 2 114, and 1 70 meg drives:)
	(for 1 114, and 2 70 meg drives:)

	-) NOTE: the 114 drive must be the main drive (drive 0)
	-) choose the minidisk (10?) option in sautil.
	-) choose a disk, type:
	    (this means hard-drive #0, partition 2, where partition
	     2 implies the entire drive).

	hd(0,2)

	-) type 'i' (initialize)
	-) type:
	    (the following will create the boot, root (hd0a),
	     swap (hd0b), usr (hd0g), var (hd0e), X11 (hd0h),
	     and home (hd0d) partitions).

	c boot 32736 105 01
	c hd0a 32737 20000 00
	c hd0b 32738 80000 20

	(at this point, hit 'l' to list the partions so
	 far, and make the g partion the rest of the disk)

	c hd0g 32739 120000 00	<=== approx. use value of freespace

	-) change disks, type:

	disk hd(1,2)

	-) type 'i' (initialize)

	c hd1h 32736 120000 00

	(at this point, hit 'l' to list the partions so
	 far, and make the e partion the rest of the disk)

	c hd1e 32737 100000 00 	<=== approx. use value of freespace

	-) NOTE: if drive 1 is a 70 meg drive, reduce hd1h
	    to 80000 blocks of space, and use the 'l' key
	    to tell you what size to make the hd1e partition.

	-) change disks, type:

	disk hd(2,2)

	-) type 'i' (initialize)
	-) type 'l' to list free space

	c hd2d 32736 <size of freespace> 00

	==================================================
	(for 3 70 meg drives:)

	-) choose the minidisk (10?) option in sautil.
	-) choose a disk, type:
	    (this means hard-drive #0, partition 2, where partition
	     2 implies the entire drive).

	hd(0,2)

	-) type 'i' (initialize)
	-) type:
	    (the following will create the boot, root (hd0a),
	     swap (hd0b), usr (hd0g), var (hd1e), X11 (hd1h),
	     and home (hd2d) partitions).

	c boot 32736 105 01

	disk hd(1,2)

	-) type 'i' (initialize)

	c hd1b 32736 30000 20
	c hd1h 32737 80000 00
	c hd1e 32738 31095 00

	-) change disks, type:

	disk hd(2,2)

	-) type 'i' (initialize)

	c hd2b 32736 20000 20
	c hd2d 32737 121255 00

	==================================================
	(for other drive sizes, contact me.)
	==================================================

	-) just hit 'return' to exit out of minidisk,
	    then 'return' a second time to go back to 
	    the main menu.

	-) take out the disk, and put in the MINIROOT disk.
	-) NOW boot from the miniroot disk: 
	    -) select the floppy boot option (number 2)
	    -) hit enter to continue at the ":" prompt.


-) *********************  Using the MINIROOT disk.  ************************

-) Using MINIROOT to install the operating system on the RT:

    NOTE: when chosing OPTIONS from the INSTALL menu, the 
	install program acts on single character input, 
	without waiting for 'return'.  So go slow through
	the menu(s) until you are used to how the program
	behaves.

    -) select choice (2) for "continue with installation".
    -) choose (1) TAPE or (2) NETWORK install
	-) TAPE install:
	    -) follow the instructions to do the install

	-) NETWORK install:

	    NOTE: choice (4) and (5) are absolutely required.

	    -) choice (4), the 'source host', should be the
		network install server for your site.

		For Austin, type: 9.3.21.91

		NOTE: 9.3.21.91 is (c4cbd.austin.ibm.com)

	    -) choice (5), 'target host' is the ip-address of YOUR RT.
	    -) choice (6), 'netmask', is the netmask for YOUR network.
	    -) choice (7), 'default router' is YOUR default gateway.

	    -) choice (u), 'Install User', will determine which
		images get loaded on your system.  The default,
		'rtinst', will load the Xstation images.  To
		load the full-install images, change this to
		'rtfull'.

	-) NOTE: 'terse' install will install faster than verbose.  
	    About 10 minutes to do a terse install over the network, 
	    15-20 minutes by tape for the Xstation install.  The full
	    install takes about 1/2 hour or so.

	-) NOTE: if installing on (3) 70 meg drives, you MUST change
	    the partition name (ie, option number (3)) for the var 
	    partition from hd0e to hd1e.

    -) at the end of the install, if installing the Xstation images,
	it will ask you some questions about configuring the Xterminal.  
	Answer the questions, configuring the Xterminal for YOUR RT 
	IP-address, default route, nameserver, and point the Xterminal 
	at YOUR RISC Systems/6000 running X11R5.
    -) select choice 3 (Halt the system).

-) reboot, and you are on your way.



-) ******************  Completing the FULL install  ************************

-) Completing the install:

    -) login as root
    -) edit /etc/fstab
    -) add:

	-) for the 310 drive installation: 

	/dev/hd0h       /usr/X11            ufs     rw 1 4
	/dev/hd0d       /home               ufs     rw 1 5

	-) for the (2) 114, (1) 70 drive installation:
	-) for the (1) 114, (2) 70 drive installation:

	/dev/hd1h       /usr/X11            ufs     rw 1 4
	/dev/hd2d       /home               ufs     rw 1 5

	-) for the (3) 70 drives installation:

	/dev/hd1h       /usr/X11            ufs     rw 1 4
	/dev/hd2d       /home               ufs     rw 1 5
	/dev/hd1b 	none 		    swap    sw 0 0
	/dev/hd2b 	none 		    swap    sw 0 0

    -) type:

	-) for the 310 drive installation: 

	newfs /dev/hd0h
	newfs /dev/hd0d

	-) for the (2) 114, (1) 70 drive installation:
	-) for the (1) 114, (2) 70 drive installation:
	-) for the (3) 70 drives installation:

	newfs /dev/hd1h
	newfs /dev/hd2d

	-) for the (3) 70 drives installation, also type:
	    (this is normally done at boot, once you've added
	    the swap lines to /etc/fstab).

	swapon -a

    -) type:

    mount /usr/X11
    mount /home

    -) load X11R5.

	IMPORTANT NOTE:  This version of X11 ONLY SUPPORTS the 
	    6155 (black/white) and Megapel (ie, 5081/6091 color) displays.  
	    The 6153 (small black/white) and 6154 (small color) displays 
	    are NOT supported.

	-) If loading from tape, type:

	    cd /usr/X11
	    /usr/ibm/ftc -B /dev/rst0 - | tar -xvf -

	-) If loading from the network:

	    -) get the X11 image.  You'll need about 40meg
		of space to do this, so just cd to /home
		before you get the file.

	    -) ftp c4cbd.austin.ibm.com (or to 9.3.21.91)
		
		(the following is a rough outline of getting the file)

		login as anonymous
		passwd is guest
		cd pub
		binary
		get X11.reno.obj.tar
		quit

	    -) cd /usr/X11
	    -) tar -xvf /home/X11.reno.obj.tar (or where-ever you put the image)

    -) edit /etc/hosts, add your hostname
    -) edit /etc/netstart, edit your hostname

    -) add yourself as a user, type:

    vipw
    (copy a line, and change it.  Example:

    roger::100:31::0:0:& Florkowski:/home/roger:/bin/ksh
    )

    -) add yourself to the 'wheel' group, or you wont be able
	to use 'su'.  

	(edit /etc/group, and add your loginname to the wheel group, like:

	wheel:*:0:root,roger
	)

    -) make a directory in /home, and chown it to yourself.
    -) configure your X11 stuff, etc.  NOTE: I've provided
	a guest login account which has some defaults
	for .profile, .kshrc, .Xdefaults, .xinitrc, and
	.map3270

    -) at this point, you should be all done !!!

Good Luck!
