2007-08-30oops; t.stritzky@teles.de noted that we had not yet documented theTheo de Raadt
install##.iso files; thanks
2007-08-01Retire OpenBSD/cats. Hardware is nice but prone to catch fire, and the firmwareMiod Vallat
is anything but useful. Nevertheless this was a very good platform to use as an OpenBSD/*arm* starting point, but nowadays this platform is not necessary anymore. Somehow these CATS motherboard are just like AUI hubs, with the difference that, when my AUI hub caught fire, 10base5 support was not removed from the networking code.

2007-05-04stop shipping CKSUM files; people can use the MD5 filesTheo de Raadt
(this decreases build time a bit too) ok todd (and i assume legacy-architecture-miod would not object either)
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 (-:

2002-10-07Devise the appropriate MACHINE_ARCH from MACHINE, rather than requiringMiod Vallat
the Makefile to provide this value. Makes the generation of all the installation notes easier.
2002-07-25Due to changes having already occured, and more being cooked at thisMiod Vallat
very moment, OpenBSD/sparc installation media will not allow upgrades to 3.2.

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.

2001-10-14Solaris friendly update!Miod Vallat
- Provide typical Solaris command lines for creating floppies, dumping miniroots to disks, and filling tapes. - Make the tape generation script more versatile. - When SunOS add_client(8) is mentioned, mention Solaris share(1M) as well. - Add ``Installing from Solaris'' instructions for sparc and sparc64 ports - While there, slight fixes to the ``Installing from SunOS'' sections on sparc and sun3.
