jhawk a5c0fa3864 Based on feedback (various), remove the .toc files from CVS,
and instead generate them each and every time (twice!).
Based on a suggestion from Alan Barrett, allow setting MAKETOC=no
to permit rebuilding the install notes without regenerating the
.toc files, to allow more speedy debugging of markup changes.

jhawk 6bd8ef593c The diskimage contains a /netbsd, not a /install.
Terminal type is "rcons" over here, not "pmax."

mycroft 149f0de4fa Use bsd.man.mk (maybe should be something else) instead of bsd.prog.mk, and
do the cleaning differently.

- other cleanups
2000-10-29 14:08:04 +00:00

ad 3bac0590b8 Add a couple of entries. 2000-10-10 14:06:10 +00:00
lukem b4d52d9d24 major terraform (this is MUCH more than a rototill :-), including:
- 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...
2000-10-10 12:55:15 +00:00
lukem c8d0b98254 migrate */contents -> common/contents, as there was *way* too much
unnecessary duplication.  wrap the MD stuff in  .if r_foo \{\  ...  .\}
2000-10-10 12:30:52 +00:00
jhawk 3995670885 Update dependancies to include common/sysinst and common/upgrade

simonb 29f2f8bf77 You leave a maze of twistly little conditionals... 1999-05-26 01:16:40 +00:00
ross c130e42b2e * Delete sun3x from SUBDIR
* The merged contents file didn't work out, so nuke it and put it back
  into each port directory. Most still have the now-pointless conditionals;
  these now should be deleted.
* fix alpha, amiga, and arm32 to delete the maze of twisty little conditionals

simonb f6f8865538 Mainly formatting. Sysinst does make FTP/NFS easier... 1999-05-04 03:42:20 +00:00
simonb c327e3a779 Mention some highlights since 1.3. 1999-05-04 03:41:46 +00:00
simonb ff08ee4418 Use common/upgrade. 1999-05-04 03:41:11 +00:00
simonb d610c1f1cc Most of this is gone, into pmax/install. Just keep a mention that
backups are important.
1999-05-04 03:40:22 +00:00
simonb f7395fddb7 Big clean up for ramdisk install kernel (don't need diskimages in
swap partitions, etc).
Mention PROM commands here instead of pmax/prep.
Better list of set retrieval methods (based on Alpha page).
Use common/sysinst.
1999-05-04 03:39:32 +00:00
simonb 4e72e5afe8 DECsystation capitialisation.
Mention that PX and PXG graphics boards are supported in -current.
Minor formatting.
1999-05-04 03:38:40 +00:00
ross 27fa34dd96 Remove these before someone changes them. There is a common contents file
in distrib/notes/common/contents, conditionalized for the differences
between platform distributions.
1999-03-19 04:52:04 +00:00
garbled 851ee9e397 1) Remove all vestiges of tar from src/distrib. Use pax and appropriate
commandlines for all tar operations.  (work supplied by Matt Green)
2) Update arch/*/md.c to deal with new sysinst/run.c.  Special case
anything that needs to do a redirect or a pipe.
3) #if 0 some unused code in target.c. This code will need to be updated,
or special cased with do_system.

Big thank you to Matt for all his work on this.

simonb 1cfeea7b69 Re-do special note on installing from a NetBSD CD-ROM after actually
doing this for real.  (Many thanks to David).
1998-11-20 05:33:12 +00:00
simonb 7e81c41eb9 Specifically mention that NetBSD/pmax uses rzX devices for CD-ROMs and
not cdX like other NetBSD ports.
1998-11-17 23:23:08 +00:00
simonb 284b91ac42 Mention that it may be necessary to hand-mount a CD on /mnt2 before
starting sysinst.

Partial fix for PR bin/6307 from Terry R. Friedrichsen.

From PR #6307:
	Added possibly non-working work around for 1.3.3.

	Will do more work on this when I get a CD image of a NetBSD release.
1998-11-16 08:52:23 +00:00
simonb e90f3ee382 Reference the section on dd'ing a disk image into the swap
partition of an Ultrix disk in the "QUICK.INSTALL" notes.

NOTE - this isn't the best solution.  The INSTALL notes need
to be totally rewritten, but at least now there's a pointer
to the referred section.

Fixes PR port-pmax/6299 from Terry R. Friedrichsen.
1998-11-16 08:15:55 +00:00

simonb eb91fb2910 Warn that messages about "using ULTRIX label information" may
appear when disklabeling old Ultrix disks.

Fixes PR port-pmax/6300 from Terry Friedrichsen.
1998-11-16 07:45:20 +00:00
simonb 58405d0f56 Mention that Ultrix doesn't have rock ridge extenstions so some paths
on a CD-ROM will be truncated/mungled.

Fixes PR #6296 from Terry R. Friedrichsen
