# 1.26 21-May-2001 jhawk

The diskimage contains a /netbsd, not a /install.
Terminal type is "rcons" over here, not "pmax."


# 1.25 29-Oct-2000 lukem

more work:
- use .Tn, .Bx, .Ul, .Key, .Sq, .Dq, .Li, .Dl, (etc) ... as appropriate
- be more consistent between various ports' install notes
- other cleanups


# 1.24 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...

Include the root-path in the bootptab and dhcpd.conf examples.


# 1.20 25-Jun-1999 simonb

The name of the kernel on the diskimage is "netbsd" and not "install".


# 1.19 04-May-1999 simonb

Big clean up for ramdisk install kernel (don't need diskimages in
swap partitions, etc).
Mention PROM commands here instead of pmax/prep.
Better list of set retrieval methods (based on Alpha page).
Use common/sysinst.

# 1.17 24-Nov-1998 simonb

slight cleanup


# 1.16 20-Nov-1998 simonb

Re-do special note on installing from a NetBSD CD-ROM after actually
doing this for real. (Many thanks to David).


# 1.15 17-Nov-1998 simonb

Specifically mention that NetBSD/pmax uses rzX devices for CD-ROMs and
not cdX like other NetBSD ports.


# 1.14 16-Nov-1998 simonb

Mention that it may be necessary to hand-mount a CD on /mnt2 before
starting sysinst.

Partial fix for PR bin/6307 from Terry R. Friedrichsen.

From PR #6307:
Added possibly non-working work around for 1.3.3.

Will do more work on this when I get a CD image of a NetBSD release.


# 1.13 16-Nov-1998 simonb

Reference the section on dd'ing a disk image into the swap
partition of an Ultrix disk in the "QUICK.INSTALL" notes.

NOTE - this isn't the best solution. The INSTALL notes need
to be totally rewritten, but at least now there's a pointer
to the referred section.

Fixes PR port-pmax/6299 from Terry R. Friedrichsen.


# 1.12 16-Nov-1998 simonb

Warn that messages about "using ULTRIX label information" may
appear when disklabeling old Ultrix disks.

Fixes PR port-pmax/6300 from Terry Friedrichsen.


# 1.11 16-Nov-1998 simonb

Mention that Ultrix doesn't have rock ridge extenstions so some paths
on a CD-ROM will be truncated/mungled.

Fixes PR #6296 from Terry R. Friedrichsen


# 1.10 16-Nov-1998 simonb

Sync with 1.3 branch (don't we usually do this the other way around?!)


# 1.9 28-Oct-1998 simonb

Fix a couple of typos and white space inconsistancies.


# 1.8 23-Aug-1998 hubertf

Add notes about steps to do after installation that are common to all
platforms; Thanks to Colin Wood and Simon Burge for their comments.

# 1.4 23-Dec-1997 jonathan

Give complete pathname to the REAMDE file with instructions on how to
select an X server and how to handle the compressed-font problem.

Don't use -r "" to invoke sysinst for the release.


# 1.3 22-Dec-1997 jonathan

cut-and-paste the 1.3_BETA NOTES file into the standard release notes.


# 1.2 31-Oct-1997 mhitch
