From fc7524a02d01315aabc4873853df64c53f6c7a4c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miod Vallat Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2007 19:24:46 +0000 Subject: Your spring jumbo m4-fu. This time: - mention comp contains an objective-C compiler too. - rewrite InstallPrelude so that it will only output the ``know your drive geometry'' blurb if asked to, and for a specified disk type. Use it for non-IDE and non-SCSI disks only, otherwise the kernel is good enough to do the job without the users' help. - similarily, adapt BootMsgs to make the second part of the geometry blurb optional, and to accept up to three disk types. Use this to report better disk names (i.e. no point saying an scsi disk would show up as sd0 on platforms which can't have scsi disks, or won't be able to boot from them). - in InstallPart4, drop the part about block and fragment sizes in disklabel. The defaults are good, and you won't get to change them unless you switched to expert mode. - the default answer to ``wanna get the ftp mirror list, unzel?'' is ``no'', so pressing enter to get it is not enough anymore (-: --- distrib/notes/sparc/install | 15 +++++---------- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) (limited to 'distrib/notes/sparc/install') diff --git a/distrib/notes/sparc/install b/distrib/notes/sparc/install index 915a9acfb95..7687598522a 100644 --- a/distrib/notes/sparc/install +++ b/distrib/notes/sparc/install @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ -dnl $OpenBSD: install,v 1.64 2005/04/27 03:07:16 jsg Exp $ -OpenBSDInstallPrelude +dnl $OpenBSD: install,v 1.65 2007/03/01 19:24:45 miod Exp $ +OpenBSDInstallPrelude({:-SMD disks-:}) There are several ways to install OpenBSD onto a disk.
