'Sure' deraadt@ | |||
2015-12-30 | Change the number of binary distribution sets in NOTES to eight. | Robert Peichaer | |
The etc and xetc sets are now inside baseXX.tgz and xbaseXX.tgz. 'looks good' deraadt@ | |||

2015-03-27 | Remove `installing from SunOS' and `installing from Solaris' instructions. | Miod Vallat | |
They are much more troublesome than using the miniroot, and if you're actually still running a SunOS setup in 2015, then you're me, and you don't need to be told this information anyway. Do not suggest disks might be shared between OpenBSD and SunOS or Solaris anymore. This is just asking for trouble. | |||
2015-02-01 | E2900 with us-iv reported to work via a submitted dmesg | Jonathan Gray | |
2015-01-11 | No more etc set, also sparc nowadays needs more than 16MB to boot multiuser. | Miod Vallat | |
2014-11-10 | etc and xetc sets no longer exist in the release directories | Jonathan Gray | |
2014-07-29 | update sets sizes | Miod Vallat | |
2014-03-19 | you are still welcome to install from tape, but as befits an elite master | Ted Unangst | |
of unix arcana, we will not condescend to tell you how. why spoil the fun? | |||
2014-02-28 | update sets sizes | Miod Vallat | |
2014-02-27 | some other places it may help to know how to burn an iso | Ted Unangst | |
2014-02-27 | Delete horrifically out of data add-on-peripheral lists; there are other | Theo de Raadt | |
places to check for this information, or trial and error, with error resulting in things getting fixed. Scary false warnings don't help anyone. Unmaintainable lists are always unmaintained. | |||
2014-01-09 | Mention that T5120/T5220 systems require an OBP update if they are below 4.28 | Miod Vallat | |
level (matching the stealth commit to sparc64.html years ago); and update the OBP update section to point to the current Oracle ``Firmware Domwnloads'' page. | |||
2013-12-04 | committing uwe's autoinstall notes, as requested by deraadt; | Jason McIntyre | |
2013-12-04 | Do not suggest changing boot-file to boot the SMP kernel, since the installer | Miod Vallat | |
sets up /bsd as the SMP kernel on SMP systems; jkatz | |||
2013-07-26 | Minimalist update for 5.4. eyeballed deraadt@ | Miod Vallat | |
2013-02-25 | Realistic memory amounts required for the installation (although, after | Miod Vallat | |
installation, the kernel may need less than this). Stress that there is no much point running with less than 32MB nowadays (unless you love being swap-bound). | |||
2013-02-25 | sets size updates | Miod Vallat | |
2013-02-09 | Update minimal disk and memory sizes to match the bsd.rd requirements | Miod Vallat | |
(especially on vax, where bsd.rd really needs 16MB to install nowadays although the system can live in less). While there, fix a few typos. | |||
2013-02-09 | Stop using the name `miniroot' when `bsd.rd' is implied. A few platforms | Miod 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'. | |||

2011-04-10 | I am only now noticing the number of sets have not been adjusted after the | Miod Vallat | |
removal of misc. Better late than never. | |||

2010-09-26 | Merge pmsi(4) into pms(4). From Alexandr Shadchin on tech@. | Miod Vallat | |
2010-03-16 | Jumbo 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) | |||

2009-10-10 | Fix a quoting typo in comments | Miod Vallat | |
2009-05-20 | have the docs mention the xdm stuff; miod told me how to do this | Theo de Raadt | |
2009-05-13 | Better disk partitioning details, especially for MBR + disklabel or | Miod Vallat | |
HFS + disklabel setups. | |||
2009-05-12 | Try 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... | |||
2009-04-09 | Don't try to keep in sync with the man page device lists for | Jonathan Gray | |
802.11 wireless as chipsets used and products change rapidly, but rather display just a list of the supported chipsets like we do in www. Discussed with jmc and deraadt | |||
