4.4 and older; this block will disappear in a few releases from now.
2010-03-16Jumbo commit for 4.7 installation instructions:Miod Vallat
- do not mention tape as an installation media on systems where it is very unlikely that a tape drive can be connected to (i.e. anything with only USB as expansion capabilities) - do not mention that fetching the installation sets from a partition is ``for upgrades only''. You may do this for installation, but of course you can not use a partition which will be newfs'ed for that purpose. - mention ext2fs partitions as possible installation sets source only on platforms where the installation media actually can mount an ext2fs filesystem. - stress the fact that the sparc miniroot image is a GENERIC kernel with a little on-disk filesystem, and not a RAMDISK kernel with a little in-memory filesystem, and thus must not be overwritten during installation (i.e. be careful if you repartition the disk the miniroot has been put on). - more conv=sync -> conv=osync for tape setup instructions. - model-specific layout changes on armish, loongson and socppc instructions. - fix various typos and grammar mistaeks. "sure" deraadt@ (without eyeballing)

2009-10-25Add a mention the `a' partition needs to be contained within the first 2GBMiod Vallat
of the disk, for the prom to be able to correctly read the kernel image. Found the hard way by landry@

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...

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.

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 (-:
