2013-02-25The rule of thumb for `your system runs an old PDC' left out PCXS systems.Miod Vallat
Change it to `all 7xx systems, but 712 and 2nd generation 715, run old PDC'.
2013-02-25Realistic memory amounts required for the installation (although, afterMiod Vallat
installation, the kernel may need less than this). Stress that there is no much point running with less than 32MB nowadays (unless you love being swap-bound).

2013-02-09Update minimal disk and memory sizes to match the bsd.rd requirementsMiod Vallat
(especially on vax, where bsd.rd really needs 16MB to install nowadays although the system can live in less). While there, fix a few typos.
2013-02-09Teach people they will need to upgrade their boot blocks, and how to do this,Miod Vallat
if they want to upgrade with bsd.rd, since older boot blocks can't boot ELF kernels.
2013-02-09Stop using the name `miniroot' when `bsd.rd' is implied. A few platformsMiod Vallat
have a real miniroot to be dd'ed to the disk, and that's fine; but when we are talking about booting bsd.rd (either from an existing setup, or the network, or the cd-rom images), then refer to it as `installation kernel'.
2013-02-09Update network boot configuration instructions to no longer refer toMiod Vallat
bootparams termcap-like two-letter fields in the configuration file.

2012-04-03Make sure all bootp() path lack unnecessary front slashes, and subtly mentionMiod Vallat
that IP22 PROM can not load ELF64 kernels. While there, in addition to the list of `known to only boot of a low tftp port number' PROM versions, list a few unaffected (16 bit clean) PROM versions. Hopefully user feedback will let us figure out cutoff point so we'll only need to document these instead of unbounded lists of PROM versions.

media on them. Try to be helpful and explain how things may fail on the older PROM and what to do about this.
