Setting the Date
Set the correct system date and time by using date( 1):
:/1=
date 1II/fnmddAAmm[.,,]
1111 here is the last two digits of the year;
mm
specifies month; dd designates day of the month;
AA
is hour (on a 24-hour clock); the next
mm
is minutes elapsed; and the optional." specifies
seconds. The system echoes the date set hack to you.

Editing the /etc/hosts and /.rhosts Files
Now you must edit the / etc/
AolI,
file on both the remote host and target machines, to make
them aware of each other's existence. Also, edit f.rAolI, on the remote host only. Proceed as
follows:
1. On the remote host machine, edit the I etel Aolt, file, and add an entry for the target
machine. There must be an entry for the remote host as well; if it's not there, add it.
Entries in I etel hod' consist of each machine's full Internet address (network number and
host number), and the machine's name. For example, assuming your remote host is called
'krypton,' and your target is 'gaia,' the entries might look like this:
192.9.200.1 krypton
192.9.200.23 gaia
Here, 192.9.200 is being used for the network number; the remote host's host number is 1,
and the target's host number is 23.
By now, you probably know your network number, and have a host number ready to assign
your target - if you're confused, see the earlier section, Determining Network In/ormation.
2. Still on the remote host machine, edit the J.rAo,t,file, adding an. entry (hostname only) for
the target machine. This will allow you to perform remote processes 'on' the remote host
'from' the target machine at the super-user level (for example, the remote extract in the
next phase of installation). If the file does not exist, create it.
3. Now move to the target machine, and edit leteIAo,t, (which should be nearly empty). Add
the same two lines discussed
in
etep 1: one entry for the remote host and one for the target
machine.
4. Run iJeonfig on the target machine:
*
/etc/ifconB" ecO
1I0ur_target_name
5.10. Loading the Root File System
Now you must mount the distribution tape on the remote host's tape drive. Then run the rztr
(remote extract) shell script on the target machine to copy the root file system across the Ether-
net. Again, use
xy
for the Xylogics disk controller, or ip for the Interphase disk controller to
replace
d;,k,
and
mt
for the nine-track tape, or
&1"
for the Archive quarter-inch tape to replace
tape:
