First boot and network
Every fresh system asks these once, on the console. Nothing about any network is preset. Without an Ethernet card the network and repository questions are skipped.
Wait for each question to appear before you type; keys pressed while the system is still starting are lost.
| Prompt | Answer |
|---|---|
What is the nodename of this machine? [amix] | RETURN or a name |
What is this machine's network domain? […] | RETURN or your domain |
(time zone menu) | RETURN keeps the default, or the number of your zone |
Do you want to configure networking? [y] | RETURN |
Which interface do you want to use? [1] | only with two interfaces: 1 aen0 (A2065), 2 zen0 (Z3660). With one: Ethernet interface zen0 found. |
What is this machine's network address? [] | e.g. 192.168.1.20 |
What is the netmask? [255.255.255.0] | RETURN |
What is the default gateway? [none] | your router, e.g. 192.168.1.1 |
Enable DNS? [n] | zen0 only. y asks for one or two name servers |
What is the package repository host? [pkg.amigaux.org] | RETURN |
What is the repository's network address? [] | with DNS on: RETURN. Otherwise the address of pkg.amigaux.org |
Would you like to assign a password to all of the system accounts? [y] | RETURN, then the password twice: this is root's |
Would you like to assign a password to the guest account? [y] | n unless you want a guest login |
Do you want to allow root to log in over the network? [y] | RETURN for telnet as root |
Would you like to create a user account? [n] | RETURN |
Are you using an A2024 or Moniterm high resolution monitor? [n] | RETURN |
Do you wish to configure X Windows for a color graphics card? [n] | RETURN (the A2410; on a Z3660 see below) |
Do you wish to configure Netnews for either local or networked operation? [n] | RETURN unless you run news. Standard and full sets only |
Do you want the system logging daemon enabled? [y] | RETURN |
Do you wish to change any of these? [n] | RETURN after checking the summary |
The date and time are not asked: the system clock comes from the battery clock. Set it from AmigaOS, and never into the future.
Then login: root with the password you just set.
X on the Z3660
Answer n to the dialog's X question: it is for the A2410. On the K1 desktop, as root on the
console: startx-rtg (1024x768), or startx-rtg 800x600. OPEN LOOK on the Z3660's RTG.
Network later
Skipped networking on a Z3660? Set the FALLBACK (address), NETMASK and
GATEWAY lines near the top of /etc/rc2.d/S99zen, shut down, switch off and on.
Two Z3660s on one network need different MAC addresses: see the card page.
Switching off: as root, shutdown -i0 -g0 -y, then wait 10 seconds after
the halt message. Never reboot or shutdown -i6 on a real 68060: the Z3660 cannot
reset the CPU.
