setting up the console and how to work around the problem. This
is an initial stab at solving PR/35348 for NetBSD 6.0. After 6.0
is released, a better solution can be done for 6.1.
I know it isn't a good thing to have many copy-and-pasted contents
(set file descriptions etc) in all MD files, but it's much more annoying
to maintain a bunch of .if \n [${MACHINE}] conditionals for all ports
and maintainers rarely notice that they also have to prepare or update
MD contents in MI content file with messy ifdefs.
XXX: of course common text should be shared by mdoc macro etc.
but I doubt playing mdoc(7) is really worth...
from common/xfer with messy mdoc .if conditionals
into MD xfer files so that developers can see
what contents are missing or obsolete and should be
written or updated
- remove some useless MD description for maintainability
XXX: still a bunch of unmaintained .if \n [${MACHINE}] in common files
to call a shell script which outputs nothing if the file is not present.
Remove the "whatis" file for ports where it does not contain anything
useful and hasn't been updated for years. OK tsutsui@, hubertf@.
preparation for filling the list of changes between NetBSD 3.0 and 4.0
releases. In some obsolete claims like "this is the n-th major releae of
NetBSD for the xyz platform" replace n by XXX.
what was in prep is now in prep.OPENFIRMWARE.
prep now calls prep.OPENFIRMWARE twice. The first time, it generates
documentation specific to Open Firmware 3 systems. The second pass, it
outputs OF 1.x and 2.x specific stuff. This makes it easier to follow
directions for a particular class of machines.
kernels
- rearrange OF boot command examples
- minor polishing
- flesh out the details of how to get Open Firmware to boot the OS after
installation.
- mention "0 bootr" instead of boot sometimes fixes CLAIM-FAILED probs
