2009-06-28Don't list the AlphaServer 4100 in the unsupported systemsJonathan Gray
section when it is mentioned in the supported systems section shortly before.
2009-05-13Better disk partitioning details, especially for MBR + disklabel orMiod Vallat
HFS + disklabel setups.
2009-05-12Try to catch up with installer changes in the installation notes.Miod Vallat
Also, the per-platform features are moved to a common place, which makes the MD layout easier to work on. m4.common is still a tangled mess of subtly placed dnl, though...
2009-04-09Don't try to keep in sync with the man page device lists forJonathan Gray
802.11 wireless as chipsets used and products change rapidly, but rather display just a list of the supported chipsets like we do in www. Discussed with jmc and deraadt

2008-08-06Jumbo update of installation notes for alpha:Miod Vallat
- mention more models supported by each floppy - mention more supported and unsupported models - sync cdrom boot instructions with reality - update ftp urls, ftp.digital.com no longer exist (but I resisted whining at HP which does not provide all the contents formerly available from ftp.digital.com and which you have to pick from educational sites which have mirrored them) - various little rewording with help from sobrado@
2008-08-05More SRM information, and how to make a non model 300 DEC 3000 autobootMiod Vallat
unattended when configured for serial console and no keyboard is plugged.
2008-08-05Better description of the installation steps:Miod Vallat
- document questions in proper order: hostname before network configuration, DNS only if network is configured, sshd and ntpd, aperture only on machines which need it, serial console only on machines which need it. This is done by splitting the end of OpenBSDCommonURL in various macros, OpenBSDInstallWrapup, OpenBSDInstallAperture, OpenBSDInstallConsole and OpenBSDInstallWrapupPart2. - use the above macros when appropriate, OpenBSDInstallWrapup* being mandatory on all arches. - remove serial console configuration blurb on sparc and sparc64, it is handled by OpenBSDInstallConsole now.
2008-07-23Forgot to add rebranded AS800 names there.Miod Vallat
2008-07-23Attempt to sync with reality, and make the supported/unsuported status ofMiod Vallat
the various AlphaServer references less ambiguous.

2007-03-01Your spring jumbo m4-fu. This time:Miod Vallat
- mention comp contains an objective-C compiler too. - rewrite InstallPrelude so that it will only output the ``know your drive geometry'' blurb if asked to, and for a specified disk type. Use it for non-IDE and non-SCSI disks only, otherwise the kernel is good enough to do the job without the users' help. - similarily, adapt BootMsgs to make the second part of the geometry blurb optional, and to accept up to three disk types. Use this to report better disk names (i.e. no point saying an scsi disk would show up as sd0 on platforms which can't have scsi disks, or won't be able to boot from them). - in InstallPart4, drop the part about block and fragment sizes in disklabel. The defaults are good, and you won't get to change them unless you switched to expert mode. - the default answer to ``wanna get the ftp mirror list, unzel?'' is ``no'', so pressing enter to get it is not enough anymore (-:

multiuser; setting boot_osflags to 's' explicitly will get us to singleuser as usual; very old SRM versions can only set 'a' or 's', but are still fine because we ignore 'a' now and default to multiuser idea and ok deraadt@, jsg@, testing by many final ok miod@
