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.
2002-04-09Since 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.
2002-04-07- remove a few obsolete textsMiod Vallat
- fix a few typo and layout issues - sync hardware lists - for sparc64, document the patch# for E220R eeprom
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.
2001-10-06Fix a few common typos and stuff related to tape installation.Miod Vallat
2001-10-02Remove dangling references (see section foo with no section foo).Miod Vallat
2001-10-01Update supported hardware list (sync with www page).Miod Vallat
Add a list of known to work MBus modules. Remove mention of manual creation of ttyc and ttyd for 4/300. Correct the description of le(4) flags. Mention sun4u are supported by the OpenBSD/sparc64 port.
2001-10-01Update the description of the bsd.rd miniroot behaviour (it will askMiod Vallat
for a terminal first, then I/U/S). While there, remove a duplicated sentence on hp300 and add the complete bsd.rd installation description to the vax notes.
2001-04-24Update supported hardware list, fix typos, use m4.common macrosMiod Vallat

1998-03-04updatejohns
1998-02-24Some Sparc 2's will take boot diskn syntax, but will not take thejohns
disn:p syntax for booting off of the swap partitions. They will also refuse the sd(,,1) syntax, so the only option remaining is to use the boot /sbus.... style syntax. This is for use with miniroot22.fs type installs when booting from the swap partition..

1997-05-05homework for everyone: 10 x reading the notes of an architecture ofThomas Graichen
