2008-08-22Let lkms(4) support VSXXX-AB tablets in addition to the mice it alreadyMiod Vallat
supports, based on appendix C and D of the VCB02 (qdss) technical manual. Also parse the selftest results and report device errors. Not tested on actual tablet due to the lack of any; mouse operation is not disturbed.

2008-08-20Minimal driver for the VAXstation 35x0/38x0 LEGSS option, currently limitedMiod Vallat
to 8 bit mode operation, and no color or accelerated features until I can find documentation about it. Speed is decent by VAX standards, except for scrolling, which is so abysmally slow one could see ZZ Top's beards growing while waiting for the screen to scroll...
2008-08-19+D-Link DWA-110 to the rum(4) list;Jason McIntyre
2008-08-18Add support for the ``Firefox'' VAXstation 3520/3540/3820/3840 workstations,Miod Vallat
currently limited to serial console and a single processor working. All ``on-board'' devices, including the Q-bus adapter, but except for the frame buffer, are supported. The machine will boot over the network or from SCSI devices. Lots of thanks to Al Kossow for www.bitsavers.org, on which I found the technical documentation allowing me to complete this port (which was lacking at the time I got that machine...).
2008-08-11+Longshine LCS-8031N to the ral(4) list;Jason McIntyre
2008-08-07Add a little section about ACPI, explaining that disabling ACPI might helpMiod Vallat
troubleshooting interrupt problems on some machines, and insist people should report such problems or they'll never get fixed. Final commit to the installation notes for this release. ok deraadt@
2008-08-06In the upgrade blurb, mention xetc won't be selectable as well, and mentionMiod Vallat
sysmerge can help you upgrade etc and xetc afterwards.

2008-08-06Don't bother mentioning FreeBSD ports or NetBSD pkgsrc only on theMiod Vallat
architectures FreeBSD or NetBSD runs on too: if a third-party application is missing from the OpenBSD ports tree, it is worth looking at the neighbours' regardless of the platform.
2008-08-06Foreign partition on MBR partition tables are put in default disklabelsMiod Vallat
from partition `i' onwards, not `h' onwards.
2008-08-06Jumbo update of installation notes for alpha:Miod Vallat
- mention more models supported by each floppy - mention more supported and unsupported models - sync cdrom boot instructions with reality - update ftp urls, ftp.digital.com no longer exist (but I resisted whining at HP which does not provide all the contents formerly available from ftp.digital.com and which you have to pick from educational sites which have mirrored them) - various little rewording with help from sobrado@
2008-08-05Various tweaks and clarifications, and drop obsolete information regardingMiod Vallat
last century's hard disks on this century's platforms.

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.
