 1.9 05-Dec-2000  wrstuden Sync with current versions of MAKEDEV files. Was meant to catch
addition of ttyCY to bebox, i386, macppc, and prep, but evidently
is catching more.
 1.8 07-Nov-2000  lukem fix up various .Nm abuses:
- keep the case consistent between the actual name and what's referenced.
e.g, if it's `foo', don't use '.Nm Foo' at the start of a sentence.
- remove unnecessary `.Nm foo' after the first occurrence (except for
using `.Nm ""' if there's stuff following, or for the 2nd and so on
occurrences in a SYNOPSIS

etc.*/MAKDEV scripts, and template files for the manpages.
 1.11 24-Oct-2003  jdolecek switch to unified MAKEDEV(8) - the manpage now contains list of
all devices for all platforms
 1.10 28-Jun-2002  grant remove installboot(8) for alpha, sparc, sparc64, sun3 and vax, as they
do not install /usr/mdec/installboot anymore.
 1.9 06-Jan-2002  mrg branches: 1.9.2;

 1.8 22-Dec-1998  mrg move sparc{,64} installboot.8 back to src/share, to avoid splitting sources for users who dont get everything.
 1.7 11-Dec-1998  mrg move installboot.8 back with the sources, and use .PATH to find it.

do not install /usr/mdec/installboot anymore.
 1.5 24-Sep-2008  reed Add architecture to the man page headers.
This is an optional argument to .Dt.

I noticed in printed docs, that format(8) didn't mention "vax".
Then I saw a few others were missing too. This makes it consistent
with some others there.

If this is wrong, then these files shouldn't be in the architecture
specific directories.
 1.4 29-May-2008  mrg remove clause #3 from my license where there are no other
copyright holders involved.

 1.19 08-Apr-2003  lukem Document that the flag that sets RB_ASKNAME (usually '-a') also asks
for the path to init(8).
Per discussion with Geoff Wing on the (unrelated) PR/21060.
Other consistency tweaks.
 1.18 06-Apr-2003  wiz Uppercase SPARC. From Igor Sobrado in PR 19820.

 1.6 13-Mar-1997  perry Some minor hacks from pr-1386 and some other cleanup. The port master

 1.4 25-Apr-1995  pk Bits from old reboot_sparc.8 man page.
 1.3 23-Apr-1995  cgd slightly clean rcs ids, etc.
 1.2 18-Mar-1995  cgd pseudo-merge with Lite; man pages need to be merged seperately, but
that's really a port-specific thing. They probably should be updated, too.
 1.1 18-Mar-1995  cgd branches: 1.1.1;
Initial revision
 1.1.1.1 18-Mar-1995  cgd from Lite
 1.28.2.1 10-Nov-2006  ghen Pull up following revision(s) (requested by jdc in ticket #1527):
sys/arch/sparc/stand/common/promdev.c: revision 1.19
share/man/man8/man8.sparc/boot.8: revision 1.29 + patch
share/man/man8/man8.sparc/boot.8: revision 1.30
Add support to the 2nd stage boot loader for booting from RAID
partitions. We do this by checking the NetBSD label to see if the
boot partition is of type RAID. If so, we offset reads from the
disk so that the kernel image can be read.
Note that with this code, sun4 machines (with PROM monitor) will only
boot from RAID if the RAID partition is the first one on the disk.
Tested on a SPARCstation 20, a SPARCstation 2 and a 4/330.
Add some PROM monitor and Open Boot PROM boot-related commands and a
BUGS section describing boot limitations.
Drop trailing whitespace.

Direct reader to shell documentation generally, rather than csh(1)
specifically.

Mention variables OLDPWD and PWD.

Move the text that explains that cd(1) is a shell built-in to the very
beginning of the description where it can be seen prominently.

Improve formatting.

 1.14 28-Jun-2002  grant remove installboot(8) for alpha, sparc, sparc64, sun3 and vax, as they
do not install /usr/mdec/installboot anymore.
 1.13 24-Nov-2001  perry branches: 1.13.2;
note that the path for installboot is /usr/mdec/installboot in SYNOPSIS

don't use Pc/Po/Pq; drop Nm arguments in most places (because they're not
needed); update Dd for mrg's changes today.
 1.11 24-Nov-2001  mrg add an example for forcing sparc blocks
 1.10 24-Nov-2001  mrg correct sparc64 bootblk/ofwboot pathnames (PR#14701), note ofwboot.net,
