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.

Medium-scale overhaul.
macppc/hardware Forgot to put PowerComputing PowerCenter in list of models that can't use on-board video
macppc/prep Reword four-key-combo c-o-O-F to imply you need to hold all four down until the 0 > prompt appears, also a better description of the keys shuffle System Disk instructions around a little to make more sense Fix BootVars instruction to "uncheck auto-boot?" Change '.Dl 0 \*> Ic "..."' to '.No 0 \*> Ic "..."' surrounded by .(disp Link to new FAQ entries (such as how to use the Open Firmware environment and instruction for people unfamiliar with MacOS) Describe how to prepare an MS-DOS filesystem for booting Be more consistent about "ISO9660" The NetBSD/macppc boot CD-R image has "partition zero" bootloader and XCOFF bootloader to work on all models -- this is described better now Better info on how to netboot OF 1.0.5 systems Mention that UFS is not currently supported by NetBSD and MacOS < 10 Detab the dhcpd.conf example Add .To 2 tags for preparation of bootable media subsections
macppc/install Change '.Dl 0 \*> Ic "..."' to '.No 0 \*> Ic "..."' surrounded by .(disp Added new and very very useful "Open Firmware boot syntax" section describing how to determine the OF boot-device and boot-file Clean up examples of boot commands Update descriptions of booting problems (some were incorrect) Add .To 2 tags for OF boot command subsections and common problems

common/main: quick guide for impatient reword netboot section, also macppc can netboot
macppc/hardware: mention that some older models not listed might work, but are untested mention that some iMac (Bondi Blue) and PowerMacintosh G3 (Blue and White) systems have keyboard problems mention that ttya is "modem" port, and ttyb is "printer" port
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).

More minor updates based on user feedback
macppc/install: add description of "bad partition number, using 0no bootable HFS partition" error message mention that boot floppy must be booted from Open Firmware, you don't just pop it in the floppy drive like a normal MacOS boot floppy. example of how to read directory of CD or HD from OF (I think I got the backslashes generated properly) describe how to boot a kernel from an HFS partition reiterate that some OF 1.0.5 machines can't seem to netboot reverse recommendation of ultra0 and ultra1 busses
common/postinstall: mention stty erase '^h' or '^?'
macppc/hardware: mention that Sonnet Tempo ATA/66 card doesn't yet work with macppc mention that adaptec 294x cards don't boot mention that promise ultra66 works, but isn't bootable

general clean-up. rearrange a few things to make more sense and change order of recommendations for installation methods.
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 added some info on cdrecord added note that netboot must be from on-board ethernet
macppc/install: added a few more details to some of the open firmware error messages reordered error messages to be in order user might encounter them removed "pciide0:0:0: lost interrupt" since this is fixed in 1.5.1 added "TFTP timeout" and explanation to list of possible problems point to macppc X11R6 HOW-TO
common/postinstall: point to macppc X11R6 HOW-TO
common/xfer: recommend waiting until later to create media for distribution sets
common/sysinst: 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

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.

- for the example dhcp config, use .(disp .. .disp) instead of a huge .Dl block, as we're not using any formatting codes in here. improve the comments and formatting of the example - use /etc/rc.d/dhcpd restart as the example for how to restart the dhcp server on a 1.5 box.

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...
