2001-11-28SB Live! and Trident 4DWAVE are supported.Miod Vallat
Also, clarify the Promise controller description (suggested by nick@)

2001-11-07No more floppyB for the moment.Miod Vallat
2001-11-02- U2 has been testedMiod Vallat
- floppies have neither NFS nor CDROM support - add a section about firmware upgrades, and tell that they might be necessary, especially for U1/1E/2 systems. Pointed out from brad@, some of the information provided here comes from Sun's firmware update documentation.
2001-10-16Our bootable cd-rom is so good you don't have to say anything butMiod Vallat
``boot cdrom'', says jason@. ok deraadt@
2001-10-15The final round of sparc64 installation notes updates:Miod Vallat
- add miniroot and bootable cd-rom information - fix a few wordings - fix incorrect Solaris manual pages section names - replace a rip-off of boot_sparc(8) with a more adequate rip-off of boot_sparc64(8) The whole ok deraadt@
2001-10-14Remove more mentions of NFS installation.Miod Vallat
2001-10-14Improvements to macppc installation notesDale Rahn
ok miod@ (with the requested fixes).
2001-10-14When creating floppies under Solaris, you can avoid killing vold if youMiod Vallat
use the magic device filename. Pointed out by matthieu@.
2001-10-14Be more verbose about OpenBoot prom versions 1.x, give instructions toMiod Vallat
change the scsi id/unit mapping.
2001-10-14Solaris friendly update!Miod Vallat
- Provide typical Solaris command lines for creating floppies, dumping miniroots to disks, and filling tapes. - Make the tape generation script more versatile. - When SunOS add_client(8) is mentioned, mention Solaris share(1M) as well. - Add ``Installing from Solaris'' instructions for sparc and sparc64 ports - While there, slight fixes to the ``Installing from SunOS'' sections on sparc and sun3.

2001-10-12Instruction to use the partition type rename operation for installationDale Rahn
instead of the potentially dangerous delete and add. Changes by Alexander Guy.
2001-10-11More installation caveats:Miod Vallat
- some models (PCI mostly?) print a warning about the lack of counter-timer during boot, which can be safely ignored - using the floppy image as a miniroot, you might have to tell the kernel root and swap device information. Based on feedback from Jack Woehr <jax@purematrix.com>, thanks ! And now, a word from our sponsors: Are you reading source-changes@? Do you have full access to ultrasparc hardware? Now is your chance to become famous! Just try installing OpenBSD on your machine, by any method you can think of, and keep trying. Report your results to me (or sparc@), as well as errors or shortcomings in the installation notes, and your feedback might make it into the next set of installation notes, with appropriate credit!
2001-10-11Update X sets sizes, thanks to matthieu@Miod Vallat
2001-10-10Oopsie. twe is not on the floppies but still in GENERIC, of course, soMiod Vallat
clarify this.
2001-10-10Get rid of the boasting about compilers.Miod Vallat
2001-10-10Mention the floppy images have no cd-rom support, hence can't installMiod Vallat
from a cd-rom.
2001-10-10Mention the X11 sets, with a note that there is no X server available forMiod Vallat
real hardware yet.
2001-10-10Provide the ability to insert extra notes in the Xserv.tgz set description.Miod Vallat
Will be needed shortly.
2001-10-10Attempt to list which drivers are available from the various installationMiod Vallat
kernels, and which are not.
2001-10-10Miata boots from floppy not floppyB; reported byMiod Vallat
Dries Schellekens <gwyllion@ace.ulyssis.org>, thanks.
2001-10-10twe(4) left out of the floppies.Miod Vallat
2001-10-10Hint that floppyB, while apparently not working as a floppy yet, makes aMiod Vallat
nice miniroot.
2001-10-10Document the installation floppies, as well as the fact that floppy imagesMiod Vallat
can be used as poor man's miniroot.

2001-10-07Update sets sizes.Miod Vallat
2001-10-07- remove xlink set description, we don't have it nowadays.Miod Vallat
- showsize now always takes MB sizes as arguments, and prints the unit by itself.
2001-10-06Note to self: save your file before running cvs diff, for your diff toMiod Vallat
be complete...
2001-10-06Since we have both KerberosIV and KerberosV, just mention ``Kerberos'' withMiod Vallat
no version appended.
2001-10-06Fix a few common typos and stuff related to tape installation.Miod Vallat
2001-10-06Typo.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.
2001-10-06- add more macros, for common texts usually found in arch/xfer.Miod Vallat
- unobfuscate the tape installation notes - no need to tell the user ``if your tape was bootable, do this'' on arches where you can't boot from tape. - in the upgrade instructions, tell people it's better to upgrade all their sets and not just base; and strongly advise them to merge etc asap. People upgrading to 3.0 and having trouble with, say, sendmail will have no excuse. - add more comments to explain this whole mess.
2001-10-03Mention more USB network cards supported by the aue(4) driver.Miod Vallat
From Jason Ackley <jason@ackley.net>, thanks.
2001-10-03o English, typosHeikki Korpela
o Clarify that cksum(1) and md5(1) are actual commands. Some systems only have md5(3) functions and the corresponding command is something different. ok miod@
2001-10-02[install seems to have been missed by cvs yesterday]Miod Vallat
- more 425e details - don't let people suppose our official CD-ROM set can boot on hp300 - fix the disklabel hp300-specific notes All of this suggested and reviewed by millert@ This commit finishes the distrib/notes autumn overhaul so far. Feel free to hunt for errors and typos of mine in them.
2001-10-02- fix a few typos in the hardware list and update itMiod Vallat
- doesn't shout, improve style a bit - mention you can boot from cd-rom. Really. Yes you can. - don't support upgrades from prehistoric versions (< 2.0), so don't babble about the partition ID change or the so-called new shared libraries - get more text sync'ed with other arches And with the help of mickey@ - don't mention you can install over NFS, none of the floppies or the cd-rom has nfs support Thanks to mickey@ for insightful feedback
2001-10-02Sync with OpenBSDUpgrade macro change. Explicitely provide all the mediaMiod Vallat
able to start an upgrade procedure.
