- unobfuscate the tape installation notes - no need to tell the user
``if your tape was bootable, do this'' on arches where you can't boot
from tape.
- in the upgrade instructions, tell people it's better to upgrade all their
sets and not just base; and strongly advise them to merge etc asap.
People upgrading to 3.0 and having trouble with, say, sendmail will
have no excuse.
- add more comments to explain this whole mess.

From Jason Ackley <jason@ackley.net>, thanks.

o Clarify that cksum(1) and md5(1) are actual commands. Some
systems only have md5(3) functions and the corresponding
command is something different.
ok miod@

- more 425e details
- don't let people suppose our official CD-ROM set can boot on hp300
- fix the disklabel hp300-specific notes
All of this suggested and reviewed by millert@
This commit finishes the distrib/notes autumn overhaul so far. Feel free
to hunt for errors and typos of mine in them.

- doesn't shout, improve style a bit
- mention you can boot from cd-rom. Really. Yes you can.
- don't support upgrades from prehistoric versions (< 2.0), so don't babble
about the partition ID change or the so-called new shared libraries
- get more text sync'ed with other arches
And with the help of mickey@
- don't mention you can install over NFS, none of the floppies or the cd-rom
has nfs support
Thanks to mickey@ for insightful feedback

able to start an upgrade procedure.

upgrade instructions. This will be needed for the i386 updates.
|

|

rid of the ``you'd better know your disk geometry, serial number, date
of manufacture, weight and temperature before installing, pal'' note.

have wd, it's a bit exaggerate.

This time:
- update hardware list, reorganize it more logically
- gets most of the bsd.rd description and instructions on par with other
arches
- document hov to create a boot tape, and how to boot via s-records
- tries to be more verbose about board setup
This is still way too concise. If you write english better than me (trivial)
and know mvme68k a bit, you're welcome to help fill the blanks.
At least this is better than the existing instructions, and deraadt@ agrees.

- remove the note about ssl27.tgz
- update the HD SC Setup url, complain about its insane length
- random cleaning

- 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.

gnu/usr.bin before usr.bin, until our grep replaces gnu grep

floppy (sync with sparc layout)
- meanwhile, comment out one reference to floppy boot which escaped.
|
|
- 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.
|
|
- remove more sparc'isms. The more you remove, the more there are...
- describe more fun installation methods
- fix a random typo
|
|
- 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)
|
|
|
|
- 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@

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
|

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.
|
|
|
|
add dev/ic/apcdmareg.h (and .ph)
fix up perl stuff now that we build shared versions on sparc64
|
|
deraadt@ ok.
|
|
will do since the two floppy installation is long dead.
And don't even mention it on sparc64 (yet).
|
|
|
|
- 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.

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.

Sets sizes are still completely bogus, though.

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.
