- document rc.d in `compatability issues with previous releases' section
- wrap .Dl blocks with .Pp
- use .Ul, .Pa, .Tn, .Bx, ...
- use .Pp after .Ss (since .Ss2 does this, and it looks slightly better)
- add tv@ to releng
- fix up sizes for various sets based on info from tv@ (any errors are
probably due to my conversion rather than his data)
- .Ic commands, .Pa paths, .Tn trade names
hardware: updated the list of what works, broken down by OF version
added devices reported as working by port-macppc posters
added list of what devices are supported by which versions of OF
included description of how each OF version boots
described partitioning
prep: describe how to enter OF depending on OF version
also described how to set up some important OF variables
install: give examples of boot commands
list of common error messages and what they mean
provided more detail when necessary and removed extraneous instructions.
hardware: totally revamped to be more readable and include all known
supported hardware, now matches htdocs/Ports/sparc/hardware.html
install: new section on CD-ROM, netboot has instructions on setting up a
NetBSD server, removed disklabel instructions (miniroot/sysboot's
instructions are clear enough and have error-checking anyways)
prep: reorganized, put in cleaner explanation of SCSI target remapping on
OpenBOOT PROM 1 machines, put in instructions on how to figure out names
ROM uses for SCSI device, put in info about 100BaseTX network cards
upgrade: now points to ../common/upgrade
- "this is the xxx major release"
- features added and bugs fixed in 1.5
- use .Nx instead of NetBSD
- use .Sq instead of ' [...] ' or ` [ ... ] '
- use .Dq instead of " [...] "
- define string `A' to contain the arch name (defaults to the port
name)
- define registers \*A and _\*A if
- deprecate _FOR_RELEASE, and just use FOR_RELEASE
- update for 1.5 (still more MD stuff to check)
- use new macros in ../common/macros as appropriate
- introduce some CONSISTENCY between the various ports' install docs
- use various mdoc macros as appropriate, including .Li, .Pa, .Sy, and .Ic.
- migrate more stuff into ../common/*
- whitespace cleanup
- lots of other little things i'm sure...
- optimize suggested commands (e.g, tar usage, ...)
- consistently use `@netbsd.org' in email addresses
- remember to thank the people who host the WWW, GNATS, CVS and CVSweb servers
- add blurb about trademark ownership
- update MACHINE_LIST for the 31 ports we support (as of 1.5)
- define registers for MACHINE_ARCH, depending upon \*M; may set one
of the following as appropriate: _m68k, _mips, _powerpc, _sh3
- change to using various new macros added in ../common/macros
and doesn't explicitly provide a .It
- add .(bullet & .bullet), which provide bulleted/hyphenated lists.
(alternates between -bullet & -hyphen at each alternate depth).
.(bullet does .It as well.
- add .(enum & .enum); enumerated list. the former does .It as well
- add .(item & .item); enumerated list. the former does .It as well
- add .Nx*M, which generates `NetBSD/machine', except that `NetBSD'
is done using .Nx so gets the appropriate markup from that
- remove .(note and .note), leaving .(Note and .Note)
- document \*M, \*V, \*[.CURDIR]
- suggest looking in /etc/defaults/rc.conf or rc.conf(5) for rc.conf settings
- spell "separate" correctly
- use "third party" instead of "3rd party"
- move notes about /etc/localtime; sysinst does it for us
- update copyright date
