 1.77  27-May-2021  martin Consistency and typo/grammar fixes from Michael Siegel in PR 55413,
With minor adjustments.
 1.76  21-Nov-2019  martin branches: 1.76.4;
Pass the set suffix (either .tgz or .tar.xz) from the makefile.
Document the rescue set.
 1.75  24-Jun-2018  martin branches: 1.75.2; 1.75.4;
Document debug sets and kernel module directory.
 1.74  09-May-2015  snj branches: 1.74.8; 1.74.14;
first pass de-suckification for 2015. modernize content a bit, fix dirty
rotten lies, improve wording, sync legalese with reality, yada yada yada.
 1.73  10-Jan-2012  snj branches: 1.73.20;
spz and riz request that we don't list ftp.NetBSD.org's IP addresses.
 1.72  17-Dec-2011  tsutsui Update ftp.NetBSD.org IPv4/IPv6 addresses.
(should be pulled up to all release branches?)
 1.71  27-May-2011  tsutsui branches: 1.71.4;
- move "MD instructions on setting up boot media"
from common/xfer with messy mdoc .if conditionals
into MD xfer files so that developers can see
what contents are missing or obsolete and should be
written or updated
- remove some useless MD description for maintainability

XXX: still a bunch of unmaintained .if \n [${MACHINE}] in common files
 1.70  27-May-2011  tsutsui Tweak some descriptions about Rawrite32 tool on Windows.
XXX: we should rather mention how to write ISO images..
 1.69  25-Apr-2011  wiz Improve wording.
 1.68  03-May-2010  tsutsui Update IP addresses (both IPv4 and IPv6) of current ftp.NetBSD.org.

XXX: is it still worth to note those numbers in INSTALL docs nowadays?
 1.67  03-May-2010  tsutsui Remove "MS-DOS floppy" from "Getting the NetBSD System on to Useful Media"
section. The media is actually being dead especially for large binary sets.

XXX: too much more "floppy" words in INSTALL docs
 1.66  25-Apr-2009  snj Final round of INSTALL cleanups for 5.0.
 1.65  25-Apr-2009  snj Yet another round of INSTALL fixes.
 1.64  25-Apr-2009  snj Another round of INSTALL improvements big and small.
 1.63  13-Sep-2008  tsutsui branches: 1.63.2; 1.63.4;
First cut at INSTALL notes for NetBSD/arc.
Finally we could close another ancient PR port-arc/11443.

After several years, we got the native bootloader and then had
sysinst which would do apprpriate partitioning for the bootloader,
so I've noted the last difficult part, how to specify boot commands
on the ARC BIOS.

I still wonder how many possible users of NetBSD/arc are there
who will need this topic though... ;-p
 1.62  30-Apr-2008  martin branches: 1.62.2;
Convert TNF licenses to new 2 clause variant
 1.61  06-Jan-2008  skrll branches: 1.61.2; 1.61.6; 1.61.8;
Improve hp700 install notes somewhat.

Actually build and install a SYSNBSD.
 1.60  14-Dec-2007  pavel Update URLs after website reorganization. patch by OKANO Takayoshi, from
PR 37070.
 1.59  11-Dec-2007  jnemeth - grammar
- correct list of sets to put on tape
 1.58  11-Dec-2007  jnemeth update numeric addresses of ftp.netbsd.org
 1.57  28-Sep-2007  tsutsui Remove ugly port ifdefs around install media of MS-DOS floppy and Tape.
I don't think users will complain that their machine doesn't have it,
and it's worthless to maintain which ports support these devices or not.
 1.56  28-Sep-2007  tsutsui First cut at NetBSD/ews4800mips install notes. Not well confirmed.
(I guess very few people will actually require it...)
 1.55  04-Jan-2007  wiz branches: 1.55.4;
From dieter roelants in PR 35169:
- While reading install/12957 it was suggested
(http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-i386/2006/11/27/0000.html)
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.
 1.54  25-Dec-2006  wiz Spell "separate" correctly. From Zafer Aydogan.
 1.53  25-Nov-2006  martin branches: 1.53.2; 1.53.4;
i386 now has 3 floppies - noted by Alan Horn
 1.52  20-Apr-2006  uwe Opening curly at the end of line should be followed by backslash to
prevent roff from seeing empty lines in input.
 1.51  14-Nov-2004  mbw Clarified a few details about installing 32 bit sparc distribution on
sparc64 systems.
 1.50  06-Sep-2004  is We don't build split sets anymore... don't confuse users.
 1.49  24-Aug-2004  snj New sentence, new line.
 1.48  24-Aug-2004  hubertf While describing how to get the split sets onto ms-dos formatted floppies,
add a few words how to create a split set, as we don't ship them any more.
Thanks to Havard for the defails!
 1.47  23-Aug-2004  snj s/When you chose/If you choose/
 1.46  23-Aug-2004  nsmrtks * x68k: fix to tell where to get "netbsd" from (how to run gzip.x on
netbsd-INSTALL.gz on the x68k's native OS.)
 1.45  21-Aug-2004  hubertf Better english (from soren), and mention DVD as an alternative to CD.
 1.44  21-Aug-2004  jdolecek apparently boot-ps2 overflowed, so refer to boot-ps2-1.fs and boot-ps2-2.fs here
 1.43  20-Aug-2004  hubertf Remove documentation for updating - there's an own section for this (!?!)
 1.42  20-Aug-2004  hubertf Update for 2.0:
* Fix a few paths and grammar
* VAX can install from CD-ROM (mmm, simh-vax :)
* Add note to unzip inst.fs.gz file before using, on x68k
(XXX someone please check!)
* properly .if the region about floppy being allowed to be write-protected
(seems not applicable to x68k by the comments)
* Add a few likely places where the distribution is on CD-ROMs
* Mention that DHCP is an alternative to remembering IP-numbers
* Update list of available IDE drives to four (wd[0-3]) and
five SCSI disks (sd[0-4]).
XXX please review for hp300, pmax, sgimips, sparc, sparc64 and
maybe remove the ".if!" above that paragraph
* Mention etcupdate for a way to update the etc set

Todo: XXX
* Provide split sets - it's documented and supported by sysinst
(or say how to create them?)
* Fix mentions of "set_name.xx" for the AmigaDOS installation
* x68k: fix to tell where to get "netbsd" from (how to run gzip.x on
netbsd-INSTALL.gz on the x86k's native OS?)
* Someone please either re-summon PS/2 "boot-ps2.fs" or remove the note on it
* Tape install:
.Dl # Ic "cd \*M/binary"
.Dl # Ic "tar -cf" Ar tape_device Ic "misc etc kern"
That doesn't work with today's set format (binary/sets/misc.tgz ...)

macppc/hardware:
update list of unsupported models

macppc/prep:
mention that ofwboot.elf is obsoleted, and all users should be using
ofwboot.xcf instead
link to partitioning HOW-TO on website
added some info on the "official" NetBSD/macppc-1.5.1 CD-R image

point to macppc X11R6 HOW-TO

common/postinstall:
point to macppc X11R6 HOW-TO

control-C to stop sysint, but added that you can re-run it from the
command prompt, no need to reboot.
added an example of what the sysinst main menu looks like
 1.17  16-Apr-2001  mbw By popular demand.

I've organized the topics by Open Firmware version, since many users found
the old scheme way too confusing (clause out Open Firmware version-specific
content).

It's still really confusing to read (particularly the .txt version which
doesn't adequately distinguish headings from the body)

Also added a bit more info on partitioning vs. OF version.
 1.16  07-Apr-2001  jhawk s/image(s) (.fs file)/image(s) (.fs file(s))/

they are suitable (for i386).

* Since i386 INSTALL kernels do not have symbols, point users at
the symbol files should they need them (hopefully not).
 1.11  13-Nov-2000  lukem s/MS Window/Windows/
 1.10  13-Nov-2000  hubertf Several changes to our release notes, OK'd by Luke Mewburn:

* Explain how to actually install binary packages, giving some
examples that people may want to install.
* Mention rawrite32 near rawrite.
* Don't show preparation of install tape on i386
* update i386 hardware a bit. This needs to be generated automatically...

- use .Ic, .Pa, .Key, .Ul, .Tn, .Sq, .Dq as appropriate

Remove reference to a 14 year old IP address for ftp.NetBSD.org.
This is not a joke.
--
mention etcupdate and reorder a bit
--
first pass de-suckification for 2015. modernize content a bit, fix dirty
rotten lies, improve wording, sync legalese with reality, yada yada yada.
--
This product includes software developed by Yasushi Yamasaki.
--
- update upgrade issues:
+ ARM ABI change
+ new users
+ new groups
- add modules set where missing
- formatting improvements
- note that rtsol{,d} will be gone in the future
- fix raw partition info
- update sparc64 hardware support
- remove note about sparc SMP support being broken
- update some size requirements (still lots of ancient bogus RAM
minimums lingering -- HI PORTMASTERS!)
- various other minor content modernization
- whitespace fixes
--
finish removing the set size stuff, which was thrown out four years ago.
--
merge port-specific legal sections into the common file. most of these
entries were already in the common file, and it's a pain to maintain
them separately.
--
don't look for now-gone sparc/legal
--
restore rcsid accidentally deleted in previous
--
bah. this time without a typo.
