snj 83a500f842 merge port-specific legal sections into the common file. most of these
entries were already in the common file, and it's a pain to maintain
them separately.

tsutsui ab8e3da666 Move common/contents file into MD dirs again.
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...

tsutsui f64fbb8f70 - move "MD instructions on setting up boot media"
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

martin 11a6dbe728 Convert TNF licenses to new 2 clause variant 2008-04-30 13:10:46 +00:00
pavel 4195ecc3d2 Make the port-specific changelog ($MACHINE/whatis) optional by using .pso
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@.

rumble e973f81726 Bring this up to date by mentioning the Personal Iris machines, Phobos
Fast Ethernet boards, and the IP22/24 parallel port. The Set Engineering
board is also noted but commented out until the bugs are shaken out.

sekiya 0b477c489f zs keyboard/mouse now supported. Also, grtwo can be found on a wide range of

tsutsui c11b4e5d32 - Update O2 status. From Christopher SEKIYA.
- R1000 -> R10000

rafal a1489321a2 Fix up sgimips install sections to more closely correspond to the current
state of reality: comment out O2 references since 1.6 won't support the
O2, add notes on installing via a net-booted kernel, disk partitioning
(disk must have IRIX volhdr, one-disk split NetBSD/IRIX install has not
been tested and may/may not work).  Also expand/add some examples.

XXX: Should add info on the "extra" kernel sets like the INSTALL_INDY,
etc. sets.

rafal f7a70aa74c More minor updates to release notes -- a large part of these changes were
sgimips specific, but there are also MI tweaks.

rafal c4181ec121 Update sgimips portions of release notes to more closely match reality, esp.
after the removal of the kern-GENERIC set from sysinst.  While here, fix up
some minor things (wording, bad markup, typoes) in the non-sgimips specific
common portions.
