2015-03-27Remove `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.

2014-03-19you are still welcome to install from tape, but as befits an elite masterTed Unangst
of unix arcana, we will not condescend to tell you how. why spoil the fun?

2014-02-27Delete horrifically out of data add-on-peripheral lists; there are otherTheo 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.
2014-01-09Mention that T5120/T5220 systems require an OBP update if they are below 4.28Miod 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.

2013-02-25Realistic memory amounts required for the installation (although, afterMiod 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).

2013-02-09Update minimal disk and memory sizes to match the bsd.rd requirementsMiod 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.
2013-02-09Stop using the name `miniroot' when `bsd.rd' is implied. A few platformsMiod 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'.

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. "sure" deraadt@ (without eyeballing)

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...
