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.
2002-04-09Since 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.
2002-03-30Factorize 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.
2001-10-06Fix a few common typos and stuff related to tape installation.Miod Vallat
2001-10-02- fix a few typos in the hardware list and update itMiod Vallat
- doesn't shout, improve style a bit - mention you can boot from cd-rom. Really. Yes you can. - don't support upgrades from prehistoric versions (< 2.0), so don't babble about the partition ID change or the so-called new shared libraries - get more text sync'ed with other arches And with the help of mickey@ - don't mention you can install over NFS, none of the floppies or the cd-rom has nfs support Thanks to mickey@ for insightful feedback
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.
2001-04-24Update supported hardware list, fix typos, use m4.common macrosMiod Vallat
whenever possible, remove obsolete information, etc. ok fries@
