Add a description of the 'modules' set for all arches which have
MODULAR somewhere in the configs.
 1.9 28-May-2011  tsutsui branches: 1.9.4; 1.9.6;
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...
 1.8 10-Oct-2000  lukem migrate */contents -> common/contents, as there was *way* too much
unnecessary duplication. wrap the MD stuff in .if r_foo \{\ ... .\}

fix english
 1.4 27-May-1999  ross You are leaving a maze of twisty little conditionals.
There are macs here.
 1.3 24-May-1999  ross * Delete sun3x from SUBDIR
* The merged contents file didn't work out, so nuke it and put it back
into each port directory. Most still have the now-pointless conditionals;
these now should be deleted.
* fix alpha, amiga, and arm32 to delete the maze of twisty little conditionals
 1.2 15-Apr-1999  tsubai Update to reflect current status.
 1.1 12-Apr-1999  tsubai Add notes from SUNAGAWA Keiki <kei_sun@ba2.so-net.ne.jp>.

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.

- add modules set where missing
- formatting improvements
- note that rtsol{,d} will be gone in the future
- fix raw partition info

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.

The awacs(4) driver was enabled in GENERIC back in 2018.

Documentation staleness noted by Andrew Randrianasulu on port-macppc@.
 1.43 07-Jul-2024  gutteridge Pre-release ISO installers should now be bootable, so drop a paragraph
that's no longer relevant. (Was PR port-macppc/54537.)
 1.42 21-Nov-2019  martin branches: 1.42.8; 1.42.10;
Pass the set suffix (either .tgz or .tar.xz) from the makefile.

to PR port-macppc/54537. (This needs to also be placed in a more
prominent location. I've added it next to the explanation of the error
message for starters.)

Mention macppc 601 needs to use separate boot floppies, kernels, and specific kernel on CD
 1.39 06-Oct-2012  jnemeth branches: 1.39.30; 1.39.32;
Add some text to "Common Problems" about Open Firmware 3.x not
setting up the console and how to work around the problem. This
is an initial stab at solving PR/35348 for NetBSD 6.0. After 6.0
is released, a better solution can be done for 6.1.

Encourage readers who have "READ TIMEOUT@" errors on floppies to write
the floppy images on the drive that will be reading them.
 1.34 08-Jan-2005  briggs Mention "READ TIMEOUT@" in conjunction with the floppy boot instructions
and point the reader at the "Common problems" section. This is a really
common problem and will only get more common as floppy drives get older.

 1.44 25-Apr-2009  snj Final round of INSTALL cleanups for 5.0.
 1.43 23-Apr-2009  snj Various updates to the INSTALL notes in preparation for 5.0. Changes
are still to come.

Get rid of some superfluous "No Ns" calls before punctuation.
 1.40 02-Sep-2003  mbw branches: 1.40.2; 1.40.4;
Substantial overhaul which splits OF versions up for clarity. Much of
what was in prep is now in prep.OPENFIRMWARE.

prep now calls prep.OPENFIRMWARE twice. The first time, it generates
documentation specific to Open Firmware 3 systems. The second pass, it
outputs OF 1.x and 2.x specific stuff. This makes it easier to follow
directions for a particular class of machines.

 1.30 14-Jun-2002  itojun avoid indentation that's too deep
 1.29 13-Jun-2002  itojun multi-line .Em does not work (INSTALL.txt does not generate this whole paragraph).

installation/floppy/boot.fs without updating the docs.
 1.27 09-May-2002  mbw branches: 1.27.2;
Update macppc filenames based on files in latest snapshot (20020407).
That is, netbsd.ram.gz becomes either netbsd.INSTALL.gz or

netbsd.org->NetBSD.org

Substantial overhaul which splits OF versions up for clarity. Much of
what was in prep is now in prep.OPENFIRMWARE.

prep now calls prep.OPENFIRMWARE twice. The first time, it generates
documentation specific to Open Firmware 3 systems. The second pass, it
outputs OF 1.x and 2.x specific stuff. This makes it easier to follow
directions for a particular class of machines.

--
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.

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).
 1.3 17-May-2001  mbw macppc/prep:
recommend using official NetBSD CD-R image instead of rolling own CD-R
describe how to boot a kernel from an HFS partition

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
 1.5 29-Oct-2000  lukem branches: 1.5.34;
more work:
- use .Tn, .Bx, .Ul, .Key, .Sq, .Dq, .Li, .Dl, (etc) ... as appropriate
- be more consistent between various ports' install notes
- other cleanups
 1.4 10-Oct-2000  lukem major terraform (this is MUCH more than a rototill :-), including:
- update for 1.5 (still more MD stuff to check)
- use new macros in ../common/macros as appropriate
- introduce some CONSISTENCY between the various ports' install docs
- use various mdoc macros as appropriate, including .Li, .Pa, .Sy, and .Ic.
- migrate more stuff into ../common/*
- whitespace cleanup
- lots of other little things i'm sure...
