Appendix B
This specifies that there are 32 special files for major device 40. The
command will create minor devices 0 through 31 and enable logins
on minor devices 1 through 15. Note that device 0 must not be used
for logins or other I/O.
2.
Edit /etc/ttytype to include special device types for the IRIS Terminal.
3.
Make /etc/init read /etc/ttys and start getty's for the new devices.
4.
Begin multi-user mode.
5.
Start the daemons for the IRIS Terminal.
These daemons will allow an IRIS Terminal to download a boot file
from a VAX host and then login to that host.
6.
Start the daemon for the network utilities.
This daemon starts remote processes for the network utilities.
7.
Test the network by copying files across the network.
8.
Test the IRIS Terminal by following the boot procedures in Section
6.1 and running some of the demonstration programs in Section 6.7.
This will verify that the Ethernet hardware is working correctly. If
SGENERIC works correctly, then the rest of the Ethernet software
can be installed as outlined below.
9.
If the network server daemons work correctly, then append the file
net/boot/etc.rc.local to /etc/rc.local.
The commands in this file will start the network daemons when the
system begins multi-user mode.
B.5 Kernel Installation
The distribution files in net/kernel are 4.2BSD UNIX files with only Ethernet-
specific code added. Before installing these files, check for differences (i.e. use
/bin/diff between the file on the host system and the distribution file.
