2006-07-0968020-based hp300 systems are not supported anymore now. If you still useMiod Vallat
any, I'll suggest you buy a boat so that they can be recycled as boat anchors.
2006-04-14Minimal support for the HP98705 ``Tigershark'' TurboVRX frame bufferMiod Vallat
(using an overlay plane only for now). Bootblocks, text console and X11 are supported.
2006-02-28Update sets sizes; ok deraadt@Miod Vallat
2005-11-26Kill last traces of hp300h terminal emulation.Miod Vallat
2005-11-22- remove HP-IB.geometry which is not useful since a long time (since we putMiod Vallat
real disklabels on HP-IB disks, actually) and will confuse mere mortals. - install a gzipped version of bsd.rd, boots faster from network and not much slower from local disk, and our bootloaders groks gzipped files since a very long time already. ok deraadt@
2005-10-12sync with web page, provides more details.Miod Vallat
2005-08-30Update sets size, and a few tweaks; also size of files smaller than 1MBMiod Vallat
get printed in KB now; ok mickey@ deraadt@
2005-04-22Driver for the Apollo Domain keyboard and mouse, for the HP 9000/4xx series.Miod Vallat
Claims the console keyboard if a keyboard is detected at boot time, otherwise HIL is preferred (but due to wsmux both can be used simultaneously).
2005-03-18Mention local filesystems are only suitable for upgrades.Miod Vallat
2005-03-18Rework description slightly.Miod Vallat
2005-03-18Sync X sets names with contents.Miod Vallat
2005-03-08Kill hp300 DISKLESS kernel, not worth using against GENERIC for disklessMiod Vallat
systems since it still has all the filesystems for vnd usage and thus does not save much memory... ok deraadt@
2005-02-27SGC frame buffers can now be used as consoles.Miod Vallat
2005-01-26Mention SGC frame buffers as supported with some restrictions.Miod Vallat
2004-10-01Mention xetc and update with final sizes.Miod Vallat
2004-09-10Update sets sizes with the latest binaries (except for hp300 X11 which willMiod Vallat
be late).
2004-06-07provide sets sizes in raw bytecounts and thenMichael Shalayeff
uniformly compute the MB numbers in m4.common; reduce average calculator uptime. miod@ ok

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.
2003-03-25Update sets sizes.Miod Vallat
2003-03-25Killer typos. My bad.Miod Vallat
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.
2003-03-19Kathmandu here tooMiod Vallat
2002-12-30Do not mention NFS as a possible tarballs source when the installation mediaMiod Vallat
does not support NFS mounts.
2002-10-07Set size updates. Almost correct.Miod Vallat

2002-04-14Update sets sizes.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.
2002-04-08For some reason my "boot drive with id 0" experiment spontaneously decidedMiod Vallat
to boot spontaneously after a system upgrade, instead of requiring manual intervention and bootloader via rboot. I blame the old bootblocks for the inconvenience. Thus the "only id 4, 5 and 6 for boot" notice is null and void, so remove it.
2002-04-07- update memory and disk sizes requirementsMiod Vallat
- clarify SYS_UBOOT description
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.
2002-03-18- fix a few typos or omissionsMiod Vallat
- warn the user that only high-numbered scsi drives are bootable
2002-02-06Fix a few typos.Miod Vallat
2001-10-07Update sets sizes.Miod Vallat
2001-10-06Fix a few common typos and stuff related to tape installation.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.
2001-10-02[install seems to have been missed by cvs yesterday]Miod Vallat
- more 425e details - don't let people suppose our official CD-ROM set can boot on hp300 - fix the disklabel hp300-specific notes All of this suggested and reviewed by millert@ This commit finishes the distrib/notes autumn overhaul so far. Feel free to hunt for errors and typos of mine in them.
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
2001-10-01- reorganizes the installation setup instructions to be more coherentMiod Vallat
with other installation notes, and a better place IMHO - mentions that the 425e is supported, but only using a serial console - reminds people to switch 400 models to HP-UX mode - puts the note about the first cylinder reserved for bootblocks at a better place - a few style changes: less all caps messages, in particular
2001-10-01Update the description of the bsd.rd miniroot behaviour (it will askMiod Vallat
for a terminal first, then I/U/S). While there, remove a duplicated sentence on hp300 and add the complete bsd.rd installation description to the vax notes.
2001-09-24Why make things simple when you can make them overcomplicated, etc. Doh.Miod Vallat
Much cleaner this way...
2001-09-24Sync with m4.common macro usage.Miod Vallat
2001-08-22Summer distribution notes cleanup: provide the correct number of setsMiod Vallat
to the DistributionDescription macro. On vme platforms, fix the x sets description. On mac68k, clarify the kernel stuff. The whole ok fries@
2001-04-24Update supported hardware list, fix typos, use m4.common macrosMiod Vallat
whenever possible, remove obsolete information, etc. ok fries@
