2002-04-30ahc back on floppyB.Miod Vallat
2002-04-14Update sets sizes.Miod Vallat
2002-04-13- mention bsd.rd in the release contents, this is an easy way to upgradeMiod Vallat
- mention you can't install with less than 16MB those days - hardware list slight updates and precisions - document correctly which drivers are available on which install media - mention that the root partition needs to be located in the first 8GB (and perhaps a smaller limit on older machines) to boot properly this includes some contributions from nick@ and some feedback from deraadt@
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.
2002-04-09Attempt to sync the hardware list with i386.html, while fixing a fewMiod Vallat
typos and layout issues. This needs some proofreading as well as adjusting the footnotes accordingly to RAMDISK* kernel status, to come later.
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.
2002-02-18Add trm - driver for Tekram TRM-S1040 cards (DC395U/UW/F,DC315/U).Kenneth R Westerback
Thanks to Tekram for donating a couple of cards and a NetBSD driver by Erich Chen of Tekram. Thanks to Martin Akesson for a first port of the NetBSD driver to OpenBSD and thanks to Ashley Martens for the major cleanup to make it presentable and style(9)ish. Only tested on i386 at this time.

per chris@'s changes to i386.html.

Also, clarify the Promise controller description (suggested by nick@)
2001-10-10Oopsie. twe is not on the floppies but still in GENERIC, of course, soMiod Vallat
clarify this.

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.
2001-10-03Mention 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@
2001-10-02- 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
2001-10-02Rework 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
2001-10-01Update 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.

2001-03-29An INIC-940 based card supplied by Initio proves that the iha driverKenneth R Westerback
does support both INIC-940 and INIC-950 chips. So allow iha to recognize and claim INIC-940 based cards, and change documentation to reflect new support. Thanks to Initio for providing the card to test.
