``boot cdrom'', says jason@.
ok deraadt@

- 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@

|
|
|
ok miod@ (with the requested fixes).
|
|
use the magic device filename.
Pointed out by matthieu@.
|
|
change the scsi id/unit mapping.
|
|
- 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.

Ok miod@, deraadt@

instead of the potentially dangerous delete and add.

- 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!

clarify this.

from a cd-rom.

real hardware yet.
|

Will be needed shortly.

Dries Schellekens <gwyllion@ace.ulyssis.org>, thanks.

nice miniroot.

can be used as poor man's miniroot.

- showsize now always takes MB sizes as arguments, and prints the unit
by itself.

|
- try to have consistent order, across arches, in the list of possible
installation media.
- alpha can't install over nfs, but macppc can.
|
|
- 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.

From Jason Ackley <jason@ackley.net>, thanks.

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@
|
|
- 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.
|
|
- 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

able to start an upgrade procedure.
|

upgrade instructions. This will be needed for the i386 updates.
|
|
|
|
rid of the ``you'd better know your disk geometry, serial number, date
of manufacture, weight and temperature before installing, pal'' note.

have wd, it's a bit exaggerate.

This time:
- update hardware list, reorganize it more logically
- gets most of the bsd.rd description and instructions on par with other
arches
- document hov to create a boot tape, and how to boot via s-records
- tries to be more verbose about board setup
This is still way too concise. If you write english better than me (trivial)
and know mvme68k a bit, you're welcome to help fill the blanks.
At least this is better than the existing instructions, and deraadt@ agrees.
|
|
- remove the note about ssl27.tgz
- update the HD SC Setup url, complain about its insane length
- random cleaning
Miodspeak corrected by fries@
|
|
- update the description of the ramdisk behaviour
- fix a few typos or style issues
- remove 1st-person "methinks" blabla from original author
- shortens the upgrade description, remove completely obsolete stuff
- don't tell the user thrice the differences between the ramdisk and
the miniroot
niklas@ and jj@ had no objections.

floppy (sync with sparc layout)
- meanwhile, comment out one reference to floppy boot which escaped.
|
|
- 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.
|
|
- remove more sparc'isms. The more you remove, the more there are...
- describe more fun installation methods
- fix a random typo
