From 83f752ccd3d67d3bd36ab502a052e7110f42933c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xavier Santolaria Date: Thu, 8 Apr 2004 21:26:28 +0000 Subject: if you want to boot machines based on Apple's IOP technology (i.e. Quadra 900, 950), make sure that the serial switch option is set to "off" in the Control Panel. This allows OpenBSD to use the serial lines. initial diff from Martin Reindl ok jmc@ nick@. --- distrib/notes/mac68k/install | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'distrib') diff --git a/distrib/notes/mac68k/install b/distrib/notes/mac68k/install index 5a597f42095..6b9ab8c1063 100644 --- a/distrib/notes/mac68k/install +++ b/distrib/notes/mac68k/install @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -dnl $OpenBSD: install,v 1.26 2004/03/17 09:25:09 jmc Exp $ +dnl $OpenBSD: install,v 1.27 2004/04/08 21:26:27 xsa Exp $ OpenBSDInstallPrelude The installation can be broken down into four basic steps: @@ -113,6 +113,11 @@ quit.
