if certain parts of m4.common end up in the installation notes for an
archictecture.
- hppa has timezone info in bsd.rd now (according to list.local)
- the macppc install.md sets MDXDM=y.
OK shten@
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.
places to check for this information, or trial and error, with error
resulting in things getting fixed. Scary false warnings don't help anyone.
Unmaintainable lists are always unmaintained.
- 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)
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...
802.11 wireless as chipsets used and products change rapidly, but
rather display just a list of the supported chipsets like we do in www.
Discussed with jmc and deraadt
- 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.
