The Iyonix is a desktop machine from Castle Technology, based on a 600MHz
XScale[tm] 80321 processor.
* Uses the bootloader from NetBSD/acorn32, which is now 32-bit compatible.
* Currently boots multiuser with a serial console.
* Device support is not yet complete.
With help from abs.
* Merge paragraph for various arch's 'xserver' set, so the size
can be added after that paragraph in one block for all archs.
Todo:
* Where is the 2.0 amd64 snapshot on releng.netbsd.org ?!?
* Portmasters, update your kernels and other MD stuff in here!
* Set sizes (all sets) needed for: hp700 sun2 xen-i386 (see "XXX old")
* Various kernel sizes
* update copyright year
* update list of ports XXX portmasters please check!
* fix a few paths
* note that you can also get into OFW via a BREAK if on cereal console
* pkgsrc is at something like 5000 pkgs
* remove a few numbers that would need maintenance otherwise
(and that aren't easy to determine - ports (not) released in binary)
* Yank section on "upgrade path to netbsd 1.6", same for 1.5
* There are no more README.export-control files (it seems?)
* Update compressed+unpacked src set sizes (estimate xsrc & pkgsrc)
* mention updating via CVS besides SUP
* Update list of obsolete /etc/rc.d files, new and removed users & groups
* Update list of sites that host/run our hardware (-redback, +isc, +ssh.fi)
* Create list of portmeisters from scratch, with list-portmeisters.pl
Todo:
* what's the exact number of ports, archs and cpus supported?
* the "new in 2.0" list needs ... um, creation. Badly!
* "The Future of NetBSD" may need updating
* where is xsrc.tar.gz?
* Fix formatting bug in automatically created portmeister-list
in INSTALL.txt at "UCHIYAMA Yasushi" (XXX needs a *roff guru?)
* the "releng" crew disagrees between this file and
http://www.netbsd.org/People/groups/#releng
* Add vipw(8) and pwd_mkdb(8) as alternatives for editing /etc/passwd
* give a few more pkg_add examples (kde, mozilla, bash)
* Recommend Packages.txt and README as pkgsrc documentation
* Mention postfix and /etc/mailer.conf
Todo:
* what's the place for a pkgsrc-stable.tar.gz snapshot for 2.0?
* Remove mentions of old releases
* More details how to drop into ddb
* Try to mention booting from CD instead of floppies on i386
* Mention mbrlabel(8) to get existing MBR partitions into a disklabel
* Default disklabel name doesn't seem to be "mydisk" any longer
(judging by this week's installation of 2.0_BETA/i386)
* Mention that DHCP will be offered
Todo:
* Enter size of extracted sets w/o X and of X sets (done for 2.0/i386)
(Portmasters?)
* document what netbsd-GENERIC_DIAGNOSTIC is
* i386: the X-server most likely wanted is XFree86
* sparc* ship Xvfb in the xserver set, not Xprt
* no split sets, not even on i386. For now(?)
Todo:
* Where is the 2.0 amd64 snapshot on releng.netbsd.org ?!?
* Portmasters, update your kernels and other MD stuff in here!
* Set sizes need updating (automation?!? or remove them?)
* Fix a few paths and grammar
* VAX can install from CD-ROM (mmm, simh-vax :)
* Add note to unzip inst.fs.gz file before using, on x68k
(XXX someone please check!)
* properly .if the region about floppy being allowed to be write-protected
(seems not applicable to x68k by the comments)
* Add a few likely places where the distribution is on CD-ROMs
* Mention that DHCP is an alternative to remembering IP-numbers
* Update list of available IDE drives to four (wd[0-3]) and
five SCSI disks (sd[0-4]).
XXX please review for hp300, pmax, sgimips, sparc, sparc64 and
maybe remove the ".if!" above that paragraph
* Mention etcupdate for a way to update the etc set
Todo: XXX
* Provide split sets - it's documented and supported by sysinst
(or say how to create them?)
* Fix mentions of "set_name.xx" for the AmigaDOS installation
* x68k: fix to tell where to get "netbsd" from (how to run gzip.x on
netbsd-INSTALL.gz on the x86k's native OS?)
* Someone please either re-summon PS/2 "boot-ps2.fs" or remove the note on it
* Tape install:
.Dl # Ic "cd \*M/binary"
.Dl # Ic "tar -cf" Ar tape_device Ic "misc etc kern"
That doesn't work with today's set format (binary/sets/misc.tgz ...)
written to cover the 2-floppy case as well, so if this file is
updated later with delta's needed on netbsd-2-0, this one revision
does not need to be excluded.
DISTRIBVERDEP in Makefile.distrib, and make both sysinst and
distribution notes use that information so that they rebuild
if the kernel version changes.
Distribution notes didn't have this before, sysinst had a private
(now outdated, since sys/sys/param.h now determines version) copy
of this.
