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)

2010-03-02Add support for the Lemote Lynloong all-in-one PC (basically a Fuloong withoutMiod Vallat
the serial and IR ports, built into a mac-like case). At least PMON initializes the frame buffer in a much friendlier video mode (1360x768x16), but there is still no frame buffer acceleration yet. Tested by wvdputte.

far, and needs help to figure out its Ethernet address on IP35 systems. Heavily derived from mec(4) written by Izumi Tsutsui and Christopher Sekiya, although it required many changes to fit the IOC3 chip.
