yet (which happens to not affect umlauts, but sharp-s (0xdf))
The Iyonix is a desktop machine from Castle Technology, based on a 600MHz
XScale[tm] 80321 processor.
* Uses the bootloader from NetBSD/acorn32, which is now 32-bit compatible.
* Currently boots multiuser with a serial console.
* Device support is not yet complete.
With help from abs.
* 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")
* Various kernel sizes
* 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
* Add vipw(8) and pwd_mkdb(8) as alternatives for editing /etc/passwd
* give a few more pkg_add examples (kde, mozilla, bash)
* Recommend Packages.txt and README as pkgsrc documentation
* Mention postfix and /etc/mailer.conf
Todo:
* what's the place for a pkgsrc-stable.tar.gz snapshot for 2.0?
* Remove mentions of old releases
* More details how to drop into ddb
* Try to mention booting from CD instead of floppies on i386
* Mention mbrlabel(8) to get existing MBR partitions into a disklabel
* Default disklabel name doesn't seem to be "mydisk" any longer
(judging by this week's installation of 2.0_BETA/i386)
* Mention that DHCP will be offered
Todo:
* Enter size of extracted sets w/o X and of X sets (done for 2.0/i386)
(Portmasters?)
* document what netbsd-GENERIC_DIAGNOSTIC is
* i386: the X-server most likely wanted is XFree86
* sparc* ship Xvfb in the xserver set, not Xprt
* no split sets, not even on i386. For now(?)
Todo:
* Where is the 2.0 amd64 snapshot on releng.netbsd.org ?!?
* Portmasters, update your kernels and other MD stuff in here!
* Set sizes need updating (automation?!? or remove them?)
* 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 ...)
