2689c284c0 Don't use CURDIR-relative .so for reading the toc, as it breaks
with objdirs.

4133cc1aef Mention tlp0 as possible built-in ethernet option
Mention how to manually create /dev entries, since the suggested "Re-install
sets" option doesn't automatically do this (leaving the user without
/dev/console)

471f49f614 Add 3rd level sections (.To) to TOC, as this is so _long_. 2001-11-26 02:35:58 +00:00

dccb6e675f Add .Te and .To macros for explicit additions to the table of contents.
.Te adds an entry at a specified depth and also outputs the entry name
in the output stream, .To "only" adds the entry. .To is necessaary where
markup issues prevent the use of .Te.

5b9bb2cf9d Remove TOC entry for Sh; there are only 3 of them and they're
all on page one and they add needless clutter. Additionally
  doc2html doesn't output a tag for them, so we cannot link to them.
  Lower indent level for Ss and Ss2
Add special HTML support: emit an HREF on each TOC line. There's some
  nasty kludging with extending the dot-leader tab stop by the width
  of the href, but that's life in mdoc2html.

TOCs need to be regenerated, but I'm not going to bother for a while.

c2c3e49e52 Add a table of contents (TOC) to the release notes.
This makes it _much_ more user-friendly, as it allows users
  to skip to the parts they want easily.
At present, the TOCs are generated files, and can be regenerated
  with "make tocs" (probably has to be run twice to account for
  the size of the table itself).
TOCs are named INSTALL.{PostScript,ASCII,HTML,more}.toc instead of
  INSTALL.{ps,txt,html,more}.toc because that's what \*[format]
  expands to.

8f4395f4db common/main:
quick guide for impatient reword netboot section, also macppc can netboot

macppc/hardware:
mention that some older models not listed might work, but are untested
mention that some iMac (Bondi Blue) and PowerMacintosh G3 (Blue and White)
  systems have keyboard problems
mention that ttya is "modem" port, and ttyb is "printer" port

macppc/install:
describe the keyboard workaround for PM G3 (B&W), and that 1.4.3 works
  fine for it and the iMac (Bondi)

macppc/prep:
make the whole BootROM/Open Firmware distinction clearer
describe that some models have to remove internal modem or set
  input/output devices to ttyb since int modem usurps ttya.

macppc/whatis:
mention important changes, such as ELF, binary compatability, newly
  supported models that don't require kernel patches, and that the install
  procedure described now works for all models (i.e. Open Firmware 3
  machines with only one hard drive).
