From 2fc051dbbbb5c97dda5a707d01ba5ea4793a7a70 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: kn Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2022 22:13:31 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Document support for booting from RAID 1C on sparc64 The bootloader (ofwboot) got support some time ago, but installboot(8) had to be fixed as well for multi-chunk volumes (1C requires at least two). As of today, the latest sparc64 install72.img can perform a default install onto a passphrase-protected 1C volume across four chunk disks, resulting in a bootable system without requiring manual invervention, just like amd64. --- share/man/man4/softraid.4 | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/share/man/man4/softraid.4 b/share/man/man4/softraid.4 index 99c435f6ef5..c36263ae02c 100644 --- a/share/man/man4/softraid.4 +++ b/share/man/man4/softraid.4 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -.\" $OpenBSD: softraid.4,v 1.49 2022/09/04 08:06:40 kn Exp $ +.\" $OpenBSD: softraid.4,v 1.50 2022/09/06 22:13:31 kn Exp $ .\" .\" Copyright (c) 2007 Todd T.
