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.

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 (-:
