martin 9fa6cbad23 Document debug sets and kernel module directory. 2018-06-24 09:17:58 +00:00
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.

mrg 820bac9951 remove vga@isa and pcdisplay@isa from i386 GENERIC, and create a new
LEGACY kernel that includes them instead.  now radeon@pci is able to
properly claim wsdisplay0 on i386 systems, and radeondrmkms has a good
chance of working.

this "fixes" PR#49290.

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

ad da694a1ffc For PR kern/38537:
- Make MULTIPROCESSOR mandatory on i386.

Installation changes:

- Update installation section of release notes to match reality.
- Rename INSTALL to INSTALL_FLOPPY, retire INSTALL_LARGE.
- Build INSTALL kernel from GENERIC, like on amd64.
- Update boot menu to allow disabling ACPI and/or SMP.
- Remove GENERIC.NOACPI from the installed kernel list.
- TODO: install default boot.cfg in etc.tgz.
- TODO: possibly enable PCI fixup stuff at runtime if ACPI is disabled.

Build changes:

- No longer build ALL, it's for verification, is slow to build and the
  build process is already crippled by the number of kernels built.
- No longer build GENERIC.NOACPI.

pavel afa2ab7f6c Clear the old list of changes (between NetBSD 2.0 and 3.0 releases) as a
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.

hubertf 4269337775 * Clarify that the xfont set is only needed by the X server
* simplify commands to extracts sets & pkgsrc
 * add spaces around \(em - why this isn't rendered as — is far
   beyond me, can someone with *roff fu have a look?

Inspired by posting by James K. Lowden on netbsd-docs.

XXX the hardware list needs real work. :(
