* Change install images called *.fs to *.img. These are UFS filesystem images,deraadt2020-05-173-8/+8
| | | | | | | | but additionally have a bootblock in the first 8K (since UFS does not use that space). There are some UEFI direct-from-internet bootloaders that require the name *.img. So this makes things more convenient for those, while keeping it consistant in all architectures. ok kettenis beck kn

* Remove `installing from SunOS' and `installing from Solaris' instructions.miod2015-03-272-130/+2
| | | | | | | | | They are much more troublesome than using the miniroot, and if you're actually still running a SunOS setup in 2015, then you're me, and you don't need to be told this information anyway. Do not suggest disks might be shared between OpenBSD and SunOS or Solaris anymore. This is just asking for trouble.

* Jumbo commit for 4.7 installation instructions:miod2010-03-162-5/+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)
