the installer shows and what the subsequent text describes. - re-phrase the part about ssh logins as root. The installer now asks "Allow root ssh login? (yes, no, prohibit-password)". Previously it was "Since you set up a user, disable sshd(8) logins to root?" OK krw@, sthen@

2015-06-02Rename the imx miniroot to nitrogen as it creates "6x_bootscript".Jonathan Gray
Add a miniroot for the CuBox-i which needs u-boot at a particular offset in the sd image to boot. Based on changes made by Patrick Wildt in bitrig.

2015-03-27Missing `unattended installation' chunk.Miod Vallat
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.

2014-11-14Describe how to load the installer over the network via TFTP.Jonathan Gray
At least on the bbb there is no need to specify the load address, I'd be interested to hear if this isn't the case for other boards.
2014-11-10etc and xetc sets no longer exist in the release directoriesJonathan Gray
2014-10-23Extend autoinstall(8) feature:Robert Peichaer
- Ask for responsefile location (url or local path) if dhcp discovery fails for location or mode. If 'next-server' is found in dhcp lease file, provide a default url http://next-server/install.conf. - Ask for installer mode if the specified response file name does not match *install.conf or *upgrade.conf. - If present, use /auto_install.conf or /auto_upgrade.conf as response file for unattended installation or upgrade. - Automatically start installer in unattended mode if either one of these files is present when the system boots. - Document changes in manpage and installation notes. OK krw@ deraadt@
2014-10-10r1.45 of macppc install.md eliminated the verbiage exhorting usersKenneth R Westerback
to create an HFS partition with type AND name 'OpenBSD'. Worse, it added checks to make sure the partition type and name were correct. Sevan Janiyan pointed out that the example in INSTALL.macppc did not show the 'n' command required to set the name of the OpenBSD partition to 'OpenBSD'. Thus leaving HFS users possibly puzzled over partitioning prerequisites. Add required command to example.
