gutteridge 74401bb7d1 Add a note about pre-release ISO installers not being bootable. Relates
to PR port-macppc/54537. (This needs to also be placed in a more
prominent location. I've added it next to the explanation of the error
message for starters.)

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.

jnemeth ef04cc2567 Add some text to "Common Problems" about Open Firmware 3.x not
setting up the console and how to work around the problem.  This
is an initial stab at solving PR/35348 for NetBSD 6.0.  After 6.0
is released, a better solution can be done for 6.1.

wiz 46569cacb0 Fix some typos, from OKANO Takayoshi in PR 45001. 2011-05-30 06:19:53 +00:00
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...
2011-05-28 06:00:05 +00:00
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

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@.

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

NetBSD for the xyz platform" replace n by XXX.

briggs cdd0593dc3 Mention "READ TIMEOUT@" in conjunction with the floppy boot instructions
and point the reader at the "Common problems" section.  This is a really
common problem and will only get more common as floppy drives get older.
