.
.Ss2 Updating your BootROM
.
Open Firmware 3 systems have a rewritable
.Dq firmware ,
also called the BootROM.
When you use an Apple firmware updater, it updates the BootROM.
This will
.Em not
change the version of Open Firmware in your machine \(em it will still be
Open Firmware 3.
The BootROM is what is first executed when you power on or reset your system.
The BootROM then loads Open Firmware, which boots your operating system.
.Pp
Go to the
.Sq "Apple Support Downloads"
website at
.Lk http://support.apple.com/downloads/
and search for
.Sq firmware
and install the most recent version for your model. For most G3 and G4
models, you will need to run the FirmWare updater from MacOS 9. 
.Pp
.(Note
If you accidentally change the
.Ic load-base No or Ic real-base
Open Firmware variables and reset your machine you will, in effect,
rewrite the BootROM with garbage.  This will permanently damage your machine.
We recommend not doing this.
.Note)
.(Note
The most recent BootROMs available (4.1.7 and later) are a little picky
about RAM.  Initially, some PowerMacintosh G3 users found that their
third-party RAM had been disabled, but the RAM vendors brought their RAM
up to spec and it hasn't been much of an issue since then.
.Pp
There is one report that FirmWare Update 4.1.9 on iMac (Summer 2000) will
prevent the CD-ROM and the hard drive from operating together.
You may get
.Pa "wdc0:0:1: lost interrupt"
problems.
.Note)
.Pp
.
.Ss2 Getting to Open Firmware 3
.
Hold down a special four-key combination when your system boots.
.Pp
After the chime starts, but before it stops, hold down the four
.Key COMMAND-OPTION-O-F
keys (the
.Key COMMAND
key looks like a four-leaf clover or an open apple, and the
.Key OPTION
key may look like a two-way switch with four straight line segments or say
.Key ALT )
until you see the Open Firmware command prompt on your screen:

(Open Firmware 1.1.22)
.Pp
The version of Open Firmware in the
Apple Network Servers can only use a serial console.
You must first hook up a serial console
(38400 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no handshaking) to
.Sq "Port 2"
(the
.Sq Li ttya
device in Open Firmware).
.Pp
Hold down a special four-key combination on the keyboard attached to
the ADB port on your system (not the serial console) when
your system boots.
.Pp
After the chime starts, but before it stops, hold down the four
.Key COMMAND-OPTION-O-F
keys (the

.Key ALT )
until you see some introductory text and the Open Firmware
command prompt on your serial terminal:
.Pp
.(disp
.No 0 \*[Gt]

.Pp
Your Apple Network Server's screen will remain black.
.Pp
Now, set your system to always stop at the Open Firmware prompt.
.Pp
.(disp
.No 0 \*[Gt] Ic "setenv auto-boot? false
.disp)
.Pp
Skip down to the section on
.Sx "Setting up Open Firmware 1 and 2 to boot NetBSD"
since the next several pages are instructions for MacOS models.
.Pp
.
.Ss2 Open Firmware 1 and 2 System Preparation
.
Open Firmware has two variables,
.Sq input-device
and
.Sq output-device ,
which specify how it accepts commands and displays output.
All Open Firmware 1.0.5 and most Open Firmware 2.0.x systems will default
to using the
.Sq Modem
serial port for the console instead of the ADB keyboard and the monitor
attached to the on-board video.
.Pp
Unless you use a MacOS-based utility to set
these variables correctly, you
.Em will
need to hook up a serial console temporarily to configure Open Firmware
to use your keyboard and screen.
Some models (such as the Performa 54xx, 6360, 6400, and 6500) have the
.Sq Modem
serial port covered with a piece of plastic since the internal modem
usurps that serial port.
You will either need to use Boot Variables to set the
.Sq input-device
and
.Sq output-device
variables to
.Sq ttyb
(which is the Printer serial port) or remove the internal modem.
.Pp
Open Firmware seems to ignore the settings on most DB15 to VGA adapters.
Depending on your model, it will default to either 640 x 480 at 60 Hz or
to the resolution previously selected in MacOS.
Make sure that your monitor can handle these resolutions.
.Pp
Now would be a good time to look at the
.Nx*M
Model Support webpage to determine the issues with your model.
.Lk http://www.NetBSD.org/ports/macppc/models.html
.Pp
In particular, some models
.Em must
use a serial console, or they will be unable to boot
.Nx
at all.
All models can be set to use a serial console, if you desire
to bypass the keyboard and screen.
.Pp
If, after re-reading the next several sections, you still need help
figuring out your
.Sq input-device
and
.Sq output-device
settings, see the FAQ:
.Lk http://www.NetBSD.org/ports/macppc/faq.html#ofw-input-output-devices
.Pp
If you need to use a serial console, you can use a normal
.Sq printer
cable (mini-DIN 8 to mini-DIN 8) and a
.Tn MacOS
tool, such as ZTerm to
connect a
.Tn MacOS
system to your
.Nx*M
system.
.Lk http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/HyperArchive/Archive/comm/term/zterm-101.hqx
.Lk http://homepage.mac.com/dalverson/zterm/
.Pp
See the NetBSD Serial Port Primer for additional help and references:
.Lk http://www.NetBSD.org/docs/Hardware/Misc/serial.html
.Pp
All Open Firmware 1 and 2 \*M systems have Open Firmware bugs.
Luckily, Open Firmware has a small Non-Volatile RAM variable (NVRAM)
which is reserved for FORTH commands which will be run before booting
an operating system.
Apple has released a freeware
.Tn MacOS 9
tool called System Disk, which patches most of these bugs. We
.Em strongly
recommend that you use this tool to patch your Open Firmware,
as several systems cannot boot without these patches.
Instructions for using System Disk are covered in the next section.
.Pp
Unfortunately, some models are broken by or are unsupported by System Disk.
If you have one of the following models, then skip down to the section on
.Sx "Getting to Open Firmware (Harder, MacOS 7 thru 9)"
.br
Apple Performa 4400, 5500, 6500, 54xx, 6400, and 6360,
.br
Motorola Starmax 3000, 4000, 5000, and 5500,

Umax S900
.Pp
.
.Ss2 Getting to Open Firmware (MacOS X or Darwin) 
.
When you install 
.Tn MacOS X
or Darwin, it will install the necessary NVRAM bug fixes.  Use the
.Ic nvram
command to set your system to always stop at the Open Firmware prompt, then
reboot.
.(disp
.No # Ic nvram auto-boot\e?=false
.disp)
.Pp
You will need to escape the question-mark or enclose the whole
.Ic nvram
argument in double-quotes to prevent your shell from trying to interpret it.
.Pp
You should now see the Open Firmware command prompt on your screen:
.Pp

NVRAM patches and Open Firmware settings will be erased if you
.Sq "zap your PRAM"
by holding down
.Key COMMAND-OPTION-P-R
keys during the boot chimes, or if you accidentally boot into

9 or earlier.
.Note)
.Pp
If your

.Ss2 Getting to Open Firmware (Harder, MacOS 7, 8, or 9)
.
If System Disk doesn't work because your version of
.Tn MacOS
is too old or because
System Disk says that it doesn't support your model, then you may try using
the
.Tn MacOS
BootVars tool.
.Pp
.Lk https://cdn.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/macppc/macos-utils/bootvars/bootvars.sit.hqx
.(Note
BootVars does
.Em not
apply the (possibly critical) NVRAM patches that System Disk does.
Expect some devices to not work (such as booting from hard drives and 
CD-ROMs).
.Note)
.Pp
Look up the proper
.Sq output-device
for your model on the
.Nx*M
Model Support webpage.
.Lk http://www.NetBSD.org/ports/macppc/models.html
If the
.Nx*M
Model support webpage does not list an
.Sq output-device
for your model, then your system will default to using the on-board
video.
You needn't fill in the
.Sq output-device
and
.Sq input-device
variables.
.Pp
Launch the
.Tn MacOS
BootVars tool.
Uncheck the
.Dq auto-boot?
checkbox, then check on the
.Dq "All Variables"
checkbox and type
.Ic kbd
into the
.Sq input-device
box, and the proper device name into the
.Sq output-device
box.
Click on the
.Dq write
button, and then reboot your system.
.Pp
If your
.Sq output-device
is
.Sq Li /chaos/control
(i.e. you have a PowerMacintosh 7300 \(em 8600 system), there is a chance that
your monitor will not sync.
See
.Lk http://www.NetBSD.org/ports/macppc/SystemDisk-tutorial/of105patch.html
.Pp
If you have a Performa 5500 or 6500, you may need to apply NVRAMRC patches
to use your built-in video.
See the information in the
.Nx*M
Model Support webpage.
.Pp
You should now see the Open Firmware command prompt on your screen:
.Pp
.(disp

.disp)
.Pp
If your screen is black, then your model has defaulted to using a serial

This is fairly common on Open Firmware 1 and 2 models if you do not
use the System Disk tool to set up Open Firmware.
You must hook up a serial
console (38400 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no handshaking).
.(Note
The
.Dq auto-boot?
setting is persistent.
Your system will always stop at the Open Firmware prompt.

.Ss2 Getting to Open Firmware (Without using MacOS)
.
(Open Firmware 1.0.5, Open Firmware 2.0.x, Open Firmware 2.4)
.Pp
If you don't
have
.Tn MacOS ,
then you need to hold down a special four-key combination when your system
boots.
Do this on the keyboard attached to the ADB port on your system
(not the serial console or PS/2 port) when your system boots.
.(Note
Your system will
.Em not
have the (possibly critical) NVRAM patches that System Disk applies.
Expect some devices to not work (such as booting from hard drives and

until you see the Open Firmware command prompt on
your screen or serial console:
.Pp
.(disp

not use the System Disk tool to set up Open Firmware.
You must hook up a serial console
(38400 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no handshaking).
.Pp
Now, set your system to always stop at the Open Firmware prompt.
.Pp
.(disp

.(disp
.No 0 \*[Gt] Ic "setenv output-device screen"
.No 0 \*[Gt] Ic "setenv input-device kbd"
.No 0 \*[Gt] Ic "reset-all"

.Pp
If your system has Open Firmware prior to version 3, then you must set
some Open Firmware variables before
.Nx
can boot.
Do
.Em not
run these commands on Open Firmware 3 machines, as you may overwrite your
firmware requiring a trip to Apple for repairs.

.Ss2 Available Boot Media
.
Open Firmware is capable of booting from a variety of
media (such as hard drives, 
.if \*[OF_VERSION_12] floppy disks, 
CD-ROMs, and ethernet).
Open Firmware is able to boot files from a variety of file systems
(such as ISO9660,
.if \*[OF_VERSION_3] HFS, HFS+,
and MS-DOS FAT).  Unfortunately, Open Firmware is
.Em not
able to directly boot from the
.Nx
file system (FFS) or Apple's 
.if \*[OF_VERSION_3] BSD-based file system (UFS),
.if \*[OF_VERSION_12] file systems (HFS, HFS+, or UFS),
so we must put the bootloader in a location that Open Firmware is capable 
of understanding.
.Pp
Therefore, to boot the
.Nx
kernel, Open Firmware must first load a
.Sq bootloader
.if \*[OF_VERSION_3] .Pq Pa ofwboot.xcf
which knows how to load the
.Nx
kernel.
.if \*[OF_VERSION_12] \{\
Open Firmware 1 and 2 take either a two or three stage approach, depending 
on the boot media.  In the two step approach, Open Firmware loads
.Pa ofwboot.xcf
from the boot media, which then loads the kernel.  In the three step 
approach (used in the 
.Sq "partition zero"
method), Open Firmware loads a primary bootloader
.Pa bootxx
from a disk which then loads the secondary bootloader 
.Pa ofwboot
(which is functionally identical to 
.Pa ofwboot.xcf )
which then loads the kernel.
.\}
.(Note
Despite a note to the contrary in earlier releases that
.Pa ofwboot.elf
is obsoleted, that is no longer the case.
It has been observed that on some newish machines (notably at least
some Mac Minis), use of
.Pa ofwboot.xcf
will result in an early kernel panic when loading the GENERIC kernel
from disk.
For these machines it appears to be a workaround to use
.Pa ofwboot.elf
instead of
.Pa ofwboot.xcf
as the boot loader.
The root cause for this problem has unfortunately yet to be found.
.Note)
.Pp
The following bootable media are available for loading the bootloader:
.Pp
.(bullet -offset indent

.if \*[OF_VERSION_12] \{\
.Sq Em "Partition zero"
.Pp
This method loads the primary bootloader
.Pa bootxx
located in the Apple Partition Map, which then loads the secondary
bootloader
.Pa ofwboot

.Ic sysinst
will place on your hard drive during the installation procedure.
Additionally, the
.Nx*M
CD-R images and boot floppies use this method, loading a kernel from
the floppy's FFS partition or the CD-R's ISO9660 partition.

This method loads

Due to Open Firmware pickiness, it must be on the same partition as
.Pa ofwboot.xcf .
.
.It
.\}
.Em "MS-DOS file system"
.Pp
In this method, Open Firmware loads the
.Pa ofwboot.xcf
bootloader from an MS-DOS file system.  It may then load a
.Nx
kernel from the same MS-DOS file system.
This has only been thoroughly tested on floppy disks,
but may work on Zip disks or FDISK-formatted hard drives.
This does not work for MS-DOS partitions on a hard drive with an Apple
Partition Map.

\(em this is necessary for machines which have only
one hard drive (such as the eMac, iBook, iMac, PowerBook, and

.Nx
.Ic sysinst
installer, and will render your disk unusable by
.Tn MacOS .

It will also prevent Open Firmware 3 machines from booting from that disk.
When running the installer, you will need to use the installer's

step.
.Pp
Do not use
.Ic disklabel No or Dq "Re-install sets"

only and have another drive which will have the bootloader.
.\}
.Pp
The process is more fully detailed in the Partitioning HOW-TO:
.Lk http://www.NetBSD.org/ports/macppc/partitioning.html
.Pp
You can create a partition map with 
.Xr pdisk 8 ,
but the disk will not be usable with MacOS 9 and earlier.  If this is a
concern, you will need to use Apple's Drive Setup or Disk Utility.
.Pp
If you are using Apple's Drive Setup tool, make sure you have version
1.8.1 or later.  This tool only runs under MacOS 9 and earlier.  Drive
Setup will erase the contents of your drive \(em it does not preserve data
from any of your partitions.
.Pp
Apple's Disk Utility only runs under MacOS X 10.0.0 and later.
Make sure you click the 
.Dq "Install Mac OS 9 Disk Drivers"
checkbox.  Also, keep in mind that Disk Utility does
.Em not
create the partitions that
.Nx*M
requires.  After creating the initial partition map with Disk Utility, you
will need to use the
.Nx
.Ic pdisk
to change the partition types.  Also, Disk Utility will erase the contents
of your drive \(em it does not preserve data from any of your partitions.
.Pp
.Ic pdisk
is the most flexible (and most difficult to use) partitioning tool
available.
It runs on almost all OSes that \*M machines support.  Download it:
.Lk https://cdn.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/macppc/netbsd-pdisk/

There is built-in help describing how it works.  When it asks you to enter
the
.Dq Li "Type of partition" ,
use 
.Li Apple_UNIX_SVR2
for 
.Nx
partitions,
.Li Apple_HFS
for HFS and HFS+ partitions, and
.Li Apple_UFS
for UFS partitions.
.Pp
After you've written the partition map with
.Ic pdisk ,
you will need to create the file systems.  Use
.Xr newfs 8
and 
.Xr mount 8
for 
.Nx
file systems, and 
.Ic hfstools
to create and mount HFS file systems.
.Lk https://cdn.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/sysutils/hfsutils/README.html
