c244b0ffb9 * x68k: fix to tell where to get "netbsd" from (how to run gzip.x on
netbsd-INSTALL.gz on the x68k's native OS.)

66134445fd There is no "It-span" macro, replace with "It"; size column correctly
to fix a formatting error (hi hubertf!). Empty lines should have a single
dot, not two or none.

a7177904b4 * Update lots of set sizes
* 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")

00056feaf5 Changes:
* 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

8bff586af3 Update for 2.0:
* 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 ...)

mbw
e00fa819c1 Substantial overhaul which splits OF versions up for clarity. Much of
what was in prep is now in prep.OPENFIRMWARE.

prep now calls prep.OPENFIRMWARE twice.  The first time, it generates
documentation specific to Open Firmware 3 systems.  The second pass, it
outputs OF 1.x and 2.x specific stuff.  This makes it easier to follow
directions for a particular class of machines.
