2003-09-06MD installation notes updates for 3.4, 3/3Miod Vallat
Describe with much more details how to successfully boot from various devices, including non-built-in ethernet or SCSI controllers; also hint that most of the MVME147 and the MVME187 can not netboot at all. This should be much, much more understandable (but we need to run this through a drunk pvalchev@ to be sure).
2003-06-22Sync NIOT load address with the bootloader address change of last year,Miod Vallat
my bad. Spotted by pvalchev@.

2002-12-30Do not mention NFS as a possible tarballs source when the installation mediaMiod Vallat
does not support NFS mounts.
2002-10-07Set size updates. Almost correct.Miod Vallat
2002-06-09knfTodd T. Fries
2002-04-17Our m4 generated MAKEDEV will eventually be less SunOS-friendly than theyMiod Vallat
used to are, if at all; so warn people setting up diskless systems under SunOS or other operating systems that they might need to edit MAKEDEV for it to run properly on the host system.
2002-04-14Bring RAM and disk requirements in par with reality.Miod Vallat
2002-04-14Update sets sizes.Miod Vallat
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.
2001-10-07Update sets sizes.Miod Vallat
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.
2001-10-02Sync with OpenBSDUpgrade macro change. Explicitely provide all the mediaMiod Vallat
able to start an upgrade procedure.
2001-10-02I'm so good I managed to cut'n'paste the same typo over all those files.Miod Vallat
2001-10-02Your average close-to-release distrib/notes/FOO update.Miod Vallat
This time: - update hardware list, reorganize it more logically - gets most of the bsd.rd description and instructions on par with other arches - document hov to create a boot tape, and how to boot via s-records - tries to be more verbose about board setup This is still way too concise. If you write english better than me (trivial) and know mvme68k a bit, you're welcome to help fill the blanks. At least this is better than the existing instructions, and deraadt@ agrees.
2001-09-24Why make things simple when you can make them overcomplicated, etc. Doh.Miod Vallat
Much cleaner this way...
2001-09-24Sync with m4.common macro usage.Miod Vallat
