2009-11-01add new mirrorStuart Henderson
2009-11-01Driver for the sgi IOC3 onboard Ethernet interface. Tested on Octane only soMiod Vallat
far, and needs help to figure out its Ethernet address on IP35 systems. Heavily derived from mec(4) written by Izumi Tsutsui and Christopher Sekiya, although it required many changes to fit the IOC3 chip.
2009-10-26Sync with recent developments.Miod Vallat
2009-10-25Add a mention the `a' partition needs to be contained within the first 2GBMiod Vallat
of the disk, for the prom to be able to correctly read the kernel image. Found the hard way by landry@
2009-10-13tweaks by "dawe", thanksJasper Lievisse Adriaanse
2009-10-10More details about the dreaded netaddr environment variable for networkMiod Vallat
boot, and about the console madness on machines with an external L1 serial port.

2009-10-03remove inconsistent trailing / for 2nd level mirrorsStuart Henderson
2009-10-03sync with mirrors.dat updates, requested by deraadt@Stuart Henderson
2009-10-02Support for DS15/DS25/ES45 (Titan) alpha models (rpb family 38). These systemsMiod Vallat
are very close to the Tsunami systems (rpb family 34) and share the existing Tsunami code; the tsc(4) Tsunami controller code is extended to handle the Titan differences, except for the Titan AGP GART which is left unsupported for now. Tested to not cause regressions on DS20 (deraadt@) and ES40 (miod@). Titan support tested by Sergey Prysiazhnyi on DS25, many thanks for your time!

2009-05-17adapt to installer changes; the old Y/N question about sharing the disk withStuart Henderson
other OS changed to a multiple-choice format (Whole disk/OpenBSD area/Edit). ok miod@
2009-05-16i386 GENERIC uses the APIC now, so the last paragraph talking ofStuart Henderson
differences with MP is now outdated - remove it. ok miod@

2009-05-12Try to catch up with installer changes in the installation notes.Miod Vallat
Also, the per-platform features are moved to a common place, which makes the MD layout easier to work on. m4.common is still a tangled mess of subtly placed dnl, though...
2009-04-17bye bye md5Theo de Raadt
2009-04-17For SHA256 hashes to be ready to go onto the install media, we mustTheo de Raadt
build the sets before we build the media. While there we can get rid of DESTDIR/snapshot too, and simply install straight into RELEASEDIR. (This also ends up saving an astounding amount of traffic/latency in a nfs environment)
2009-04-17we now ship SHA256 files, not MD5 filesTheo de Raadt
