# 1.30 27-Nov-2019 uwe

Undo the .Ss2 quoting hack, the macros can now handle it.


# 1.29 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


# 1.28 24-Nov-2019 uwe

Quote long .Ss2 title to avoid troff's limitation.

Troff is limited to 9 macro parameters and this title is 10 words, so
we lose the last word here when we pass arguments around. We have
more titles like that but for now I wanted to commit only one just to
flag the problem.

# 1.17 29-Apr-2002 mbw

add section describing how to boot from an SBUS card
change ".Dl ok Ic commands" into ".(disp/.disp) and ".No ok Ic commands"
since it actually uses a monospaced font in HTML


# 1.16 24-Jul-2001 nra

s/Asumming/Assuming/


# 1.15 05-Nov-2000 pk

Some factual & typographical corrections on the SCSI target mapping topic.


# 1.14 03-Nov-2000 mbw

fix some typos.


# 1.13 01-Nov-2000 mbw

hardware: fix a couple of typos
add ross sparc 20 clone
a little more info on sw device

prep: mention that can't boot if root partition is past first 2 GB of disk
refine wording of section on scsi id mappings

install: add a little more info to the tape booting section


# 1.12 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


# 1.11 22-Oct-2000 mbw

minor fixes,
added info on how sun4 models deal with scsi targets
some typos caught
add info on how to break from automatically booting (i.e. enter ROM prompt)


# 1.10 21-Oct-2000 mbw

Major overhaul. Cleaned up a lot of explanations, clarified instructions,
provided more detail when necessary and removed extraneous instructions.

hardware: totally revamped to be more readable and include all known
supported hardware, now matches htdocs/Ports/sparc/hardware.html

install: new section on CD-ROM, netboot has instructions on setting up a
NetBSD server, removed disklabel instructions (miniroot/sysboot's
instructions are clear enough and have error-checking anyways)

prep: reorganized, put in cleaner explanation of SCSI target remapping on
OpenBOOT PROM 1 machines, put in instructions on how to figure out names
ROM uses for SCSI device, put in info about 100BaseTX network cards

upgrade: now points to ../common/upgrade


# 1.9 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...
