sysinst: tsubai-san says that macppc doesn't suffer from install-related
pcmcia interrupt problems. removed those for macppc
upgrade: add conditional for macppc and sparc (don't need to boot
from floppy)
point out that some MacOS ftp programs default to ASCII mode
OF 2 systems reset real-base to default when booted into macos
install: add info on how to get OF to always boot
also mention that users may need to remove non-apple hardware
to get their systems to boot (in extreme cases)
block, as we're not using any formatting codes in here.
improve the comments and formatting of the example
- use /etc/rc.d/dhcpd restart as the example for how to restart the
dhcp server on a 1.5 box.
and it does work, so use it instead of .Dq for key names.
- use .Ic instead of .Nm for `external' commands (i.e, not those being
specifically described by this document)
add ross sparc 20 clone
a little more info on sw device
prep: mention that can't boot if root partition is past first 2 GB of disk
refine wording of section on scsi id mappings
install: add a little more info to the tape booting section
hardware: add Gee Three's stealth serial port and scca as console info
prep: chaos/control problems with system disk as well as bootvars
clean up the various exceptions between different versions of OF
removed .Key tags, as they aren't recognized by groff
added examples of how to create install media
install: clean up the various exceptions between different versions of OF
- use .Ic, .Pa, .Key, .Ul, .Tn, .Sq, .Dq as appropriate
- use .Dl instead of .(disp when formatting changes are required (the latter
doesn't cope too well when font change macros are used)
- wrap .Dl blocks with .Pp
- consistently use `file system' instead of `filesystem'
- migrate macppc to common/xfer
- 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
