* r1.45 of macppc install.md eliminated the verbiage exhorting userskrw2014-10-101-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | to create an HFS partition with type AND name 'OpenBSD'. Worse, it added checks to make sure the partition type and name were correct. Sevan Janiyan pointed out that the example in INSTALL.macppc did not show the 'n' command required to set the name of the OpenBSD partition to 'OpenBSD'. Thus leaving HFS users possibly puzzled over partitioning prerequisites. Add required command to example.

* Jumbo commit for 4.7 installation instructions:miod2010-03-161-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - do not mention tape as an installation media on systems where it is very unlikely that a tape drive can be connected to (i.e. anything with only USB as expansion capabilities) - do not mention that fetching the installation sets from a partition is ``for upgrades only''. You may do this for installation, but of course you can not use a partition which will be newfs'ed for that purpose. - mention ext2fs partitions as possible installation sets source only on platforms where the installation media actually can mount an ext2fs filesystem. - stress the fact that the sparc miniroot image is a GENERIC kernel with a little on-disk filesystem, and not a RAMDISK kernel with a little in-memory filesystem, and thus must not be overwritten during installation (i.e. be careful if you repartition the disk the miniroot has been put on). - more conv=sync -> conv=osync for tape setup instructions. - model-specific layout changes on armish, loongson and socppc instructions. - fix various typos and grammar mistaeks. "sure" deraadt@ (without eyeballing)
* Better disk partitioning details, especially for MBR + disklabel ormiod2009-05-131-53/+70
| | | | HFS + disklabel setups.
* Try to catch up with installer changes in the installation notes.miod2009-05-121-26/+10
| | | | | | Also, the per-platform features are moved to a common place, which makes the MD layout easier to work on. m4.common is still a tangled mess of subtly placed dnl, though...
* Clarify and modernize some language about disk layout and the interactivekrw2008-10-161-7/+2

* Foreign partition on MBR partition tables are put in default disklabelsmiod2008-08-061-2/+2
| | | | from partition `i' onwards, not `h' onwards.
* Better description of the installation steps:miod2008-08-051-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | - document questions in proper order: hostname before network configuration, DNS only if network is configured, sshd and ntpd, aperture only on machines which need it, serial console only on machines which need it. This is done by splitting the end of OpenBSDCommonURL in various macros, OpenBSDInstallWrapup, OpenBSDInstallAperture, OpenBSDInstallConsole and OpenBSDInstallWrapupPart2. - use the above macros when appropriate, OpenBSDInstallWrapup* being mandatory on all arches. - remove serial console configuration blurb on sparc and sparc64, it is handled by OpenBSDInstallConsole now.
* Suggest vt220 as a TERM value for serial-console-in-an-xterm setup everywheremiod2008-03-101-3/+6

* Your spring jumbo m4-fu. This time:miod2007-03-011-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - mention comp contains an objective-C compiler too. - rewrite InstallPrelude so that it will only output the ``know your drive geometry'' blurb if asked to, and for a specified disk type. Use it for non-IDE and non-SCSI disks only, otherwise the kernel is good enough to do the job without the users' help. - similarily, adapt BootMsgs to make the second part of the geometry blurb optional, and to accept up to three disk types. Use this to report better disk names (i.e. no point saying an scsi disk would show up as sd0 on platforms which can't have scsi disks, or won't be able to boot from them). - in InstallPart4, drop the part about block and fragment sizes in disklabel. The defaults are good, and you won't get to change them unless you switched to expert mode. - the default answer to ``wanna get the ftp mirror list, unzel?'' is ``no'', so pressing enter to get it is not enough anymore (-:

* Since the installation procedure will list all the supported media flagsmiod2002-04-091-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | via ifconfig -m, there is no need to suggest canonical media flags on some arches, especially since the end user might have a different interface with different flags; instead, be more cosy and mention that looking at the manual page for the interface might be helpful for desperate cases. Thus, merge the OpenBSDInstallNet and OpenBSDInstallNet2 macros, and remove thde in-between text for the arches that had such a paragraph.
