From 4385c0586ea0e94a17c8afa1810bbfaaf4f61703 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miod Vallat Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2001 01:32:17 +0000 Subject: Autmun alpha notes cleanup: - 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.
