I really wanted to get rid of the obsolete references to ia64 as a first step, but going through this also identified several places where we missed adding new architectures; I'll comment on them (and other notes) below. > Modified: head/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall/chapter.xml > ============================================================================== At least arm64 should be added to the Minimum Hardware Requirements section, as arm64 servers are available and installable the same way as amd64 (e.g. UEFI boot from a USB stick or cdrom image and run bsdinstall). The powerpc description in this section needs updating too. Later on we need to add a booting on arm64 section to go with the existing Booting on i386 and amd64 etc. (also those fail to mention UEFI so more updating needed). > @@ -2710,8 +2698,8 @@ Starting sshd.</screen> > <para>If the system hangs while probing hardware during boot, or > it behaves strangely during install, <acronym>ACPI</acronym> may > be the culprit. &os; makes extensive use of the system > - <acronym>ACPI</acronym> service on the &arch.i386;, > - &arch.amd64;, and ia64 platforms to aid in system configuration > + <acronym>ACPI</acronym> service on the &arch.i386; and > + &arch.amd64; platforms to aid in system configuration Need to add arm64 to the list of ACPI-using platforms.
