2012-04-08Sync with the current state of thingsMiod Vallat
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.
2012-03-29Hook IP22 kernels to the build, and document how to boot the installationMiod Vallat
media on them. Try to be helpful and explain how things may fail on the older PROM and what to do about this.
2012-03-01remove c230, while we have a model number in cpudevs it was apparentlyJonathan Gray

2011-09-11Mention the 1GB offset PROM limit on some systems.Miod Vallat
2011-08-18Mention 332 as unsupported (although it has an FPU slot, so it could beMiod Vallat
made working, but since this model maxes out at 8MB RAM it's close to useless).

2011-06-15Stop providing a bsd.scsi3 kernel on sparc. If you have a system with multipleMiod Vallat
disks and scsi id#3 as the boot device, by all means, use DUIDs to mount your filesystems and it won't matter what sd unit number the boot disk attaches with.

2011-04-10I am only now noticing the number of sets have not been adjusted after theMiod Vallat
removal of misc. Better late than never.

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.
