The default kernel on macppc installation media is now named netbsd,
not netbsd.macppc.

distrib/notes: remove space between "NetBSD -current"


Revision tags: perseant-exfatfs-base-20240630 perseant-exfatfs-base
# 1.576 06-Jun-2024 snj

branches: 1.576.2;
In the Release Contents section describing the source/sets/ directory,
remove a reference to pkgsrc sources, which were removed from NetBSD
releases in 2002 with NetBSD-1.6. Spotted by Mouse in PR install/58067.

Fetching and unpacking pkgsrc manually is covered elsewhere in INSTALL,
so nothing lost here.


# 1.575 25-Mar-2024 uwe

distrib/notes: add back the sentence final dot after .Lk

It was omitted in previous b/c of a bug in .Lk that was fixed
in PR bin/58074


# 1.574 24-Mar-2024 martin

Use single-arg "Lk" macro for a link so we can get reasonable results
both in .more and .html output (still a bit odd, but better than before IMHO).


# 1.573 24-Mar-2024 martin

Various style fixes (and some of VAX related errors and copy&pastos),
from Mouse on tech-install.


# 1.572 15-Dec-2023 gutteridge

# 1.569 01-Apr-2022 andvar

Remove floppy installation instructions from sparc documentation.

Floppy generation was disabled before NetBSD 6.0 release due to size
constraints and unlikely to be restored soon or at all. PR port-sparc/56776.
ok martin.


# 1.568 06-Feb-2022 nia

Add pf(4) to the "list of features we plan to remove" (eventually)
list in the installation notes. Ironically, the only other thing here
is groff(1), which is used to generate these installation notes.


# 1.567 20-Oct-2021 gutteridge

Requested by martin@


# 1.561 23-Jan-2020 uwe

# 1.560 04-Dec-2019 uwe

"Administrivia" is a real word and it was used here on purpose.


# 1.559 04-Dec-2019 wiz

Fix some typos.


# 1.558 04-Dec-2019 martin

For HEAD builds, add a small "bleeding edge" warning when we talk about
a rock solid OS.


# 1.557 27-Nov-2019 martin

More cleanup:
- simplify TOC handling and remove arg limit (from uwe)
- use Lk with explicit anchor text in some places
- do not allow official release builds when we can not derive the
proper date from the buildid


# 1.556 25-Nov-2019 pgoyette

Improve heading a bit. While here, use quotes to group some of the
words to avoid the 9-arg limitation of .Ss


# 1.555 24-Nov-2019 pgoyette

Add "Oxford comma"


# 1.554 24-Nov-2019 martin

Modernize release notes:
- use https where possible

Move common/contents file into MD dirs again.
I know it isn't a good thing to have many copy-and-pasted contents
(set file descriptions etc) in all MD files, but it's much more annoying
to maintain a bunch of .if \n [${MACHINE}] conditionals for all ports
and maintainers rarely notice that they also have to prepare or update
MD contents in MI content file with messy ifdefs.

XXX: of course common text should be shared by mdoc macro etc.
but I doubt playing mdoc(7) is really worth...

For PR kern/38537:

- Make MULTIPROCESSOR mandatory on i386.

Installation changes:

- Update installation section of release notes to match reality.
- Rename INSTALL to INSTALL_FLOPPY, retire INSTALL_LARGE.
- Build INSTALL kernel from GENERIC, like on amd64.
- Update boot menu to allow disabling ACPI and/or SMP.
- Remove GENERIC.NOACPI from the installed kernel list.
- TODO: install default boot.cfg in etc.tgz.
- TODO: possibly enable PCI fixup stuff at runtime if ACPI is disabled.

Build changes:

- No longer build ALL, it's for verification, is slow to build and the
build process is already crippled by the number of kernels built.
- No longer build GENERIC.NOACPI.

- While reading install/12957 it was suggested

that all notes, marked with '[PCMCIA]' should go and be
replaced with a more generic explanation about removable
devices.
- I noticed the HTML output concatenates 'NetBSD' and '4.0',
which is ugly.
- The IP addresses for ftp.NetBSD.org are wrong.

updates prompted by mail from Bang Jun-Young:

# 1.201 19-Jul-2002 lukem

there are now over 3000 packages


# 1.200 19-Jul-2002 scottr

This is a complete refit of the mac68k documentation.

Of particular note is documentation on the new preferred method of
installation using sysinst, provided (and updated) by Bob Nestor.


# 1.199 16-Jul-2002 lha

add myself


# 1.198 15-Jul-2002 rafal

Update sgimips portions of release notes to more closely match reality, esp.

some minor things (wording, bad markup, typoes) in the non-sgimips specific
common portions.

and update various size displays appropriately (based in information

XXX: alpha info is now missing, as well as a bunch of x11 sets for
various platforms.

Add pmppc.


Revision tags: netbsd-1-6-base
# 1.179 20-May-2002 itojun

Catch up with recent $MACHINE developments.

Also, a few minor rewordings to clarify a little better.

Add acorn32, hpcarm, netwinder and shark to the machine list.


# 1.168 14-Apr-2002 bjh21

agc is not a member of core anymore (unfortunately)


# 1.166 02-Apr-2002 bjh21

Move Mark Brinicombe from the port maintainers' section to the list of other
developers, since we've deleted his port.

Bring sun2 into the MACHINE_LIST, so that we don't later get warnings
that the sun2 number register is undefined.


# 1.154 07-Feb-2002 ross

track change in -mdoc2html, and set DOC_XR so that .Xr macros don't
actually generate hypertext links to the man pages, like they do
know when the pages themselves are formatted. The obvious problem
is that if you aren't a man page, you don't know where the man
pages are.

# 1.145 26-Nov-2001 jhawk

Add a table of contents (TOC) to the release notes.
This makes it _much_ more user-friendly, as it allows users
to skip to the parts they want easily.
At present, the TOCs are generated files, and can be regenerated
with "make tocs" (probably has to be run twice to account for
the size of the table itself).
TOCs are named INSTALL.{PostScript,ASCII,HTML,more}.toc instead of
INSTALL.{ps,txt,html,more}.toc because that's what \*[format]
expands to.


# 1.144 23-Nov-2001 bjh21

macppc/install:
describe the keyboard workaround for PM G3 (B&W), and that 1.4.3 works
fine for it and the iMac (Bondi)

macppc/prep:
make the whole BootROM/Open Firmware distinction clearer
describe that some models have to remove internal modem or set
input/output devices to ttyb since int modem usurps ttya.

macppc/whatis:
mention important changes, such as ELF, binary compatability, newly
supported models that don't require kernel patches, and that the install
procedure described now works for all models (i.e. Open Firmware 3
machines with only one hard drive).


# 1.131 04-Jul-2001 mbw

At jhawk's request, sync the "Quick install notes for the impatient" from

The powerpc port was renamed to ofppc quite a while ago.


# 1.37 08-Dec-1999 lukem

- Replace inline mirrors list with a link to
http://www.netbsd.org/Sites/net.html
It's probably safe to assume that a user wanting access to a mirror
site can access this URL...
- Highlight that with the latest BIND code you need to now use
options { version "newfoo"; }
to change the infoleak string. (1.3.3 didn't have the infoleak,
but it crept back into 1.4)

Numerous fixes for 1.4. This is approximately okay for 1.4 now,
assuming enough people proof read it. more to come.

Also move Chuck to "Developers" and myself to mvme68k port-master.

Fix a .so that didn't respect \*[.CURDIR]. (Yes, it was designed to work
with OBJDIRs, but a bogus mod crept in after my one and only OBJDIR
test.)

Also, alpha and i386 now use a single merged common/sysinst,
