2001-10-02more gnu/usr.bin before usr.binTheo de Raadt
2001-10-02- try to bo more explicit about disk naming conventionsMiod Vallat
- update the description of the ramdisk behaviour - fix a few typos or style issues - remove 1st-person "methinks" blabla from original author - shortens the upgrade description, remove completely obsolete stuff - don't tell the user thrice the differences between the ramdisk and the miniroot niklas@ and jj@ had no objections.
2001-10-02because usr.bin/grep now exists, crunch goes wrong, and we need to put ↵Theo de Raadt
gnu/usr.bin before usr.bin, until our grep replaces gnu grep
2001-10-02- prepare more commented out text to describe a future miniroot and a futureMiod Vallat
floppy (sync with sparc layout) - meanwhile, comment out one reference to floppy boot which escaped.
2001-10-02Rework the floppy and miniroot description:Miod Vallat
- try to keep description information together, with no duplicate circumlocutions - arches which have several floppies shouldn't say there is THE floppy, then THE floppy, and once more THE floppy. Change plural accordingly for the general description of earch floppy image possibilities, if more than one.
2001-10-01- update supported hardware listMiod Vallat
- remove more sparc'isms. The more you remove, the more there are... - describe more fun installation methods - fix a random typo
2001-10-01- update supported hardware listMiod Vallat
- harmonize installation text with other arches (getting boring) - don't tryp to scare people in the description of the port (rough edges? come on, come on, almost none) - add more installation methods (more to come, for rainy days)
2001-10-01- consistent ``sun3'' capitalization.Miod Vallat
2001-10-01- update hardware list, mention some unsupported devices as well.Miod Vallat
- move open firmware 101 to the ``preparation'' section - don't try to scare people wanting to upgrade, it works well nowadays - remove the note about not being able to boot from a Zip disk. thanks to some feedback from drahn@
2001-10-01- reorganizes the installation setup instructions to be more coherentMiod Vallat
with other installation notes, and a better place IMHO - mentions that the 425e is supported, but only using a serial console - reminds people to switch 400 models to HP-UX mode - puts the note about the first cylinder reserved for bootblocks at a better place - a few style changes: less all caps messages, in particular
2001-10-01Update supported hardware list (sync with www page).Miod Vallat
Add a list of known to work MBus modules. Remove mention of manual creation of ttyc and ttyd for 4/300. Correct the description of le(4) flags. Mention sun4u are supported by the OpenBSD/sparc64 port.

2001-10-01delete dev/sbus/cs4231reg.h (and .ph)Jason Wright
add dev/ic/apcdmareg.h (and .ph) fix up perl stuff now that we build shared versions on sparc64
2001-10-01include z8530var.h header file which was added with zs driver.Dale Rahn
deraadt@ ok.
2001-10-01Don't refer to the ``new single floppy'' installation method, just ``floppy''Miod Vallat
will do since the two floppy installation is long dead. And don't even mention it on sparc64 (yet).
2001-10-01No boot floppy, so remove any references to a floppy.fs in examples.Miod Vallat
2001-10-01Autmun alpha notes cleanup:Miod Vallat
- more details for floppy and floppyB - hardware list updated - get in sync with other arches: more setup text, at the correct location, etc. - remove the list of alpha-related urls, update the ftp.digital.com addresses for the AXPpci notes (no more available from main site, but still on ftp.europe and gatekeeper) and firmware availability - update the description of the bsd.rd procedure to match reality - and fix a few typos in the process. Blessed by deraadt@
2001-10-01Update the description of the bsd.rd miniroot behaviour (it will askMiod Vallat
for a terminal first, then I/U/S). While there, remove a duplicated sentence on hp300 and add the complete bsd.rd installation description to the vax notes.

2001-09-27sparc64 has shared libraries now.Miod Vallat
Sets sizes are still completely bogus, though.
2001-09-27Mention more hardware being supported.Miod Vallat
Update the list of unsupported framebuffers: there's no point in mentioning VME framebuffers, or SBus framebuffers which were never supported on the UltraSPARC and will probably not work on them (assuming they would fit in the case, something the cgtwelve can't do). Make more clear, however, that the kernel will be able to use the OpenPROM console whatever the framebuffer is.

Describe floppyB. Mention that first floppy has no 264 support, while the other one has no non-264 support.
2001-09-24Some tweaks:Miod Vallat
+ removeOpenBSDfloppyB macro, as i386 and alpha need different descriptions for it. + OpenBSDbase and OpenBSDcomp take an optional first parameter to tell if the architecture has shared libraries or not. If it has no shared libraries, don't mention them in the descriptions.
