2002-04-22Upgrades are available again on the alpha installation media.Miod Vallat
2002-04-17Our m4 generated MAKEDEV will eventually be less SunOS-friendly than theyMiod Vallat
used to are, if at all; so warn people setting up diskless systems under SunOS or other operating systems that they might need to edit MAKEDEV for it to run properly on the host system.
2002-04-17Add Quadra 950 as supported (via serial console) hardware; sync with web page.Miod Vallat

2002-04-14Sync hardware notes with reality.Miod Vallat
2002-04-13- mention bsd.rd in the release contents, this is an easy way to upgradeMiod Vallat
- mention you can't install with less than 16MB those days - hardware list slight updates and precisions - document correctly which drivers are available on which install media - mention that the root partition needs to be located in the first 8GB (and perhaps a smaller limit on older machines) to boot properly this includes some contributions from nick@ and some feedback from deraadt@
2002-04-13small typos; ok miod@Ian Darwin
2002-04-09Since the installation procedure will list all the supported media flagsMiod Vallat
via ifconfig -m, there is no need to suggest canonical media flags on some arches, especially since the end user might have a different interface with different flags; instead, be more cosy and mention that looking at the manual page for the interface might be helpful for desperate cases. Thus, merge the OpenBSDInstallNet and OpenBSDInstallNet2 macros, and remove thde in-between text for the arches that had such a paragraph.
2002-04-09Attempt to sync the hardware list with i386.html, while fixing a fewMiod Vallat
typos and layout issues. This needs some proofreading as well as adjusting the footnotes accordingly to RAMDISK* kernel status, to come later.
2002-04-08For some reason my "boot drive with id 0" experiment spontaneously decidedMiod Vallat
to boot spontaneously after a system upgrade, instead of requiring manual intervention and bootloader via rboot. I blame the old bootblocks for the inconvenience. Thus the "only id 4, 5 and 6 for boot" notice is null and void, so remove it.
2002-04-08Rework the netboot operation description. Also, try to stress a bit more thanMiod Vallat
you have to interrupt autoboot to netboot bsd.rd, since tired bulgarian eyes seem to have missed this in the past.
2002-04-07More sync with dale's recent changes to macppc.html, and more details.Miod Vallat
2002-04-07- remove a few obsolete textsMiod Vallat
- fix a few typo and layout issues - sync hardware lists - for sparc64, document the patch# for E220R eeprom
2002-04-07- update supported hardware listMiod Vallat
- fix a few typos and layout issues
2002-04-07After torturing Todd for a couple days with incremental booting, weHugh Graham
are confident at this point that OpenBSD has not corrupted the prom on his VAXstation 4000/90, and that the machine works well. Declare this model supported.
2002-04-07- update memory and disk sizes requirementsMiod Vallat
- clarify SYS_UBOOT description
2002-04-07- rework size figures to somewhat match realityMiod Vallat
- random typos
2002-04-07- more SRM firmware information (how to switch to SRM, boot -fi, boot -fl)Miod Vallat
- correct upgrade information (do it yourself)
2002-04-07Clean the dust, update figures, try to be more helpful; mostly from nick@Miod Vallat
