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.
2002-04-08Rework the netboot operation description. Also, try to stress a bit more thanMiod Vallat
you have to interrupt autoboot to netboot bsd.rd, since tired bulgarian eyes seem to have missed this in the past.
2002-04-07After torturing Todd for a couple days with incremental booting, weHugh Graham
are confident at this point that OpenBSD has not corrupted the prom on his VAXstation 4000/90, and that the machine works well. Declare this model supported.
2002-04-03Add 4000 200.Hugh Graham
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.
2001-11-13Inhibit scooping, update list promptly.Hugh Graham
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
2001-10-02Rework the floppy and miniroot description:Miod Vallat
- try to keep description information together, with no duplicate circumlocutions - arches which have several floppies shouldn't say there is THE floppy, then THE floppy, and once more THE floppy. Change plural accordingly for the general description of earch floppy image possibilities, if more than one.
2001-10-01- update supported hardware listMiod Vallat
- harmonize installation text with other arches (getting boring) - don't tryp to scare people in the description of the port (rough edges? come on, come on, almost none) - add more installation methods (more to come, for rainy days)
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.
2001-08-22Summer distribution notes cleanup: provide the correct number of setsMiod Vallat
to the DistributionDescription macro. On vme platforms, fix the x sets description. On mac68k, clarify the kernel stuff. The whole ok fries@
2001-05-26Missed that one : use the OpenBSDUpgrade macro.Miod Vallat
2001-04-24Update supported hardware list, fix typos, use m4.common macrosMiod Vallat
whenever possible, remove obsolete information, etc. ok fries@
2001-04-24update, etcHugh Graham
2001-04-22Update VAX installation notes:Miod Vallat
- sync supported hardware list with web page - use m4.common macros whenever possible - mention sets size (might need an update) - mention serial console is compulsory, and might need some hardware setup hugh@ ok, said more text to come soon, too.
