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.

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.
2008-03-10Suggest vt220 as a TERM value for serial-console-in-an-xterm setup everywhereMiod Vallat
instead of a mix of vt100 and vt220.
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 (-:
2006-06-10now that Nick put up Booter 2.0, we don't need this workaround anymoreMartin Reindl
for saving the Booter settings
2006-04-27update for pdisk 0.8a2, from NetBSD, retaining our local changes;Martin Reindl
summing it up: - Clean up sources - fix naming, delete old email addresses - Added support for display of Mac volume names - Fix block 0 display to show logical offset of drivers - Require confirmation of quit without write - Fix iteration to not complain about missing devices - Warn when creating/writing a map with more than 15 entries and, most important, add do_update_dpme() which allows us to partition OpenBSD slices without previous MacOS setup. Tested with shared MacOS install on macppc, procedure there remains the same. grammer and spelling help and ok jmc@ ok miod@
2006-01-22Minimal iop code to set the serial ports to compatible mode automagically,Miod Vallat
so that it is not necessary to change settings from MacOS before booting into OpenBSD; from NetBSD.
2005-05-26rework and catch up on the supported/unsupported/untested hardware sectionMartin Reindl
and mention the video address hack for some models
2004-12-03First step towards proper bsd.rd documentation. Still lacks details in theMiod Vallat
partitioning sequence for now.
2004-04-20be more precise about devices creation since the "Build Devices" partXavier Santolaria
only builds a minimal tree of device and that you still have to ``cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV all'' to generate all the available device nodes to finish the installation. >From: Martin Reindl <mreindl at catai.org> okay nick@.
2004-04-08if you want to boot machines based on Apple's IOP technologyXavier Santolaria
(i.e. Quadra 900, 950), make sure that the serial switch option is set to "off" in the Control Panel. This allows OpenBSD to use the serial lines. initial diff from Martin Reindl <mreindl at catai.org> ok jmc@ nick@.

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.
2002-10-30Change kernel set to shorter names on mac68k; supposed to make krw'sMiod Vallat
next changes easier.

2001-10-02- gets the installation notes more style-consistent with other archesMiod Vallat
- remove the note about ssl27.tgz - update the HD SC Setup url, complain about its insane length - random cleaning Miodspeak corrected by fries@
