From 15753e5298575a4822f83e834747001c3ac0f18f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miod Vallat Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2001 01:47:31 +0000 Subject: Don't refer to the ``new single floppy'' installation method, just ``floppy'' will do since the two floppy installation is long dead. And don't even mention it on sparc64 (yet). --- distrib/notes/sparc/xfer | 12 ++++++------ distrib/notes/sparc64/xfer | 23 +++++++++++++---------- 2 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/distrib/notes/sparc/xfer b/distrib/notes/sparc/xfer index 41a53611a28..daa3a3f99cd 100644 --- a/distrib/notes/sparc/xfer +++ b/distrib/notes/sparc/xfer @@ -98,7 +98,7 @@ Creating a bootable floppy disk using SunOS or other Un*x-like system: Creating a bootable hard disk using SunOS or other Un*x-like system: - If you don't have a floppy drive you can copy the single floppy + If you don't have a floppy drive you can copy the floppy installation image "floppy{:--:}OSrev.fs" or the mini-root "miniroot{:--:}OSrev.fs" onto the hard disk you intend to boot on.
