2010-04-04bnx firmware fits; from bradTheo de Raadt
2010-04-03Use hw.product sysctl to tell whether we are installing on a Gdium LibertyMiod Vallat
system, or something else. Derive the fdisk instructions in `use the whole disk for OpenBSD' from this knowledge, and set up a 32MB ext2fs partition on Gdium, and the 1MB elsewhere (as was already been done). On Gdium, format this partition in fancy mode (-O 1) and 4KB blocks, so that PMON has a chance to load files larger than 4MB (such as bsd.rd) without failing in a pathetic way, and also copy the kernel image to the ext2fs partition after the installation has completed. Note that, apart from creating a larger ext2fs partition on Gdium, there should be no need for this. Unfortunately, since regular PMON does not have ext2fs code, Lemote wrote its own code to access ext2 filesystems. Saying that this code is full of shortcomings and bugs would be an understatement. What is worse is that this code has been written by people with no knowledge (or even insight) of how error conditions ought to be handled, and their ext2fs code will happily abort a read upon error with no error; if one does not compare the final read size to the file size obtained by stat(), there is no way to figure out that the read has been aborted. Of course since regular (upstream) PMON code is written correctly, it does not expect this, so it is easy to end up with PMON not loading a kernel image completely, yet proceeding happily to transfer control to this broken image. I guess the morale behind this is that system software is too difficult to get done correctly, to be done by hardware people.

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)

2010-03-09Tweak default set selection so X sets are in the default list whenKenneth R Westerback
/etc/X11 already exists. So if you install X to a headless machine and then upgrade you don't have to remember to add X sets. Idea from landry@ who installs to a lot of ports boxen. ok halex@ beck@ deraadt@

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.
