2017-08-23Reverting 1.126. espie@ pointed out that the change was misledingNayden Markatchev
becuase the compilers, which are part of comp62, still provide support for Objective-C, hence the original text was still correct.

the installer shows and what the subsequent text describes. - re-phrase the part about ssh logins as root. The installer now asks "Allow root ssh login? (yes, no, prohibit-password)". Previously it was "Since you set up a user, disable sshd(8) logins to root?" OK krw@, sthen@

- Ask for responsefile location (url or local path) if dhcp discovery fails for location or mode. If 'next-server' is found in dhcp lease file, provide a default url http://next-server/install.conf. - Ask for installer mode if the specified response file name does not match *install.conf or *upgrade.conf. - If present, use /auto_install.conf or /auto_upgrade.conf as response file for unattended installation or upgrade. - Automatically start installer in unattended mode if either one of these files is present when the system boots. - Document changes in manpage and installation notes.

2013-02-09Stop using the name `miniroot' when `bsd.rd' is implied. A few platformsMiod Vallat
have a real miniroot to be dd'ed to the disk, and that's fine; but when we are talking about booting bsd.rd (either from an existing setup, or the network, or the cd-rom images), then refer to it as `installation kernel'.

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)
2010-03-09use conv=osync when preparing an install tape; ok deraadt@ krw@Otto Moerbeek
2009-10-25Add a mention the `a' partition needs to be contained within the first 2GBMiod Vallat

2009-05-17adapt to installer changes; the old Y/N question about sharing the disk withStuart Henderson

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...

2008-08-06In the upgrade blurb, mention xetc won't be selectable as well, and mentionMiod Vallat
sysmerge can help you upgrade etc and xetc afterwards.
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.
