2010-06-29Don't mention foreign operating system binary emulation anymore. They usuallyMiod Vallat
are incomplete and for obsolete operating systems, so not only are these becoming irrelevant, but one may argue they cause a security risk because noone really knows if your binary will run correctly, if at all.

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.
