2003-09-06MD Installation notes updates for 3.4, 1/3Miod Vallat
This mainly includes an hopefully helpful section about i386 upgrades, which I urge knowledgeable people and native english speakers to check out, in order to polish it soon enough.

2003-03-24Tweak a few texts to cope with the fact that we ship official OpenBSD CD-ROMMiod Vallat
and bootable CD-ROM mini images on some platforms, too. Mention such a mini image for alpha, consistent spelling of CD-ROM, and a few minor updates not worth mentioning I had lying in my tree.

2002-04-14Sync hardware notes with reality.Miod Vallat
2002-04-09Since the installation procedure will list all the supported media flagsMiod Vallat
via ifconfig -m, there is no need to suggest canonical media flags on some arches, especially since the end user might have a different interface with different flags; instead, be more cosy and mention that looking at the manual page for the interface might be helpful for desperate cases. Thus, merge the OpenBSDInstallNet and OpenBSDInstallNet2 macros, and remove thde in-between text for the arches that had such a paragraph.
2002-04-07- more SRM firmware information (how to switch to SRM, boot -fi, boot -fl)Miod Vallat
- correct upgrade information (do it yourself)
2002-04-01Don't list TurboChannel alpha as supported until the various supportMiod Vallat
issues are fixed.
2002-03-31fxp(4) back on the floppies.Miod Vallat
2002-03-30Factorize more common texts from the ramdisk operation.Miod Vallat
No text changes except for harmonization, and the blurb about network interface flags has bene slightly changed for some arches.
2002-03-04Same warning as on alpha.html about unstable machines.Miod Vallat
2001-12-03Style, also make the fact that boot_osflags needs to contain "-a" for theMiod Vallat
system to boot multiuser. Based on feedback from Dan Shechter <danshtr@yahoo.com> on alpha@

2001-11-28No NFS installation support, hence do not mention NFS instructions.Miod Vallat

2001-10-10Mention the floppy images have no cd-rom support, hence can't installMiod Vallat
from a cd-rom.
2001-10-10Attempt to list which drivers are available from the various installationMiod Vallat
kernels, and which are not.

2001-10-06Typo.Miod Vallat
2001-10-06- use the new m4.common shared instructions.Miod Vallat
- try to have consistent order, across arches, in the list of possible installation media. - alpha can't install over nfs, but macppc can.
2001-10-03Mention more USB network cards supported by the aue(4) driver.Miod Vallat
From Jason Ackley <jason@ackley.net>, thanks.
2001-10-03o English, typosHeikki Korpela
o Clarify that cksum(1) and md5(1) are actual commands. Some systems only have md5(3) functions and the corresponding command is something different. ok miod@
2001-10-02Sync with OpenBSDUpgrade macro change. Explicitely provide all the mediaMiod Vallat
able to start an upgrade procedure.
2001-10-02I'm so good I managed to cut'n'paste the same typo over all those files.Miod Vallat
2001-10-02Rework the floppy and miniroot description:Miod Vallat
- try to keep description information together, with no duplicate circumlocutions - arches which have several floppies shouldn't say there is THE floppy, then THE floppy, and once more THE floppy. Change plural accordingly for the general description of earch floppy image possibilities, if more than one.
2001-10-01Correct Melco LUA-TX name, PR #2096.Miod Vallat
2001-10-01Autmun alpha notes cleanup:Miod Vallat
- more details for floppy and floppyB - hardware list updated - get in sync with other arches: more setup text, at the correct location, etc. - remove the list of alpha-related urls, update the ftp.digital.com addresses for the AXPpci notes (no more available from main site, but still on ftp.europe and gatekeeper) and firmware availability - update the description of the bsd.rd procedure to match reality - and fix a few typos in the process. Blessed by deraadt@
