# 137708 14-Nov-2004 marcel

Remove the BR tag. When the machine doesn't have the DIG64 HCDP
table with console settings, we now only need to know at which
address the UART lives. Leaving the baudrate unspecified results
in us using the baudrate at which the UART operates. This removes
one parameter that can interfere with a successful installation
out of the box.


# 127217 20-Mar-2004 marcel

Remove the last traditional hints. These hints only served the purpose
for uart(4) to figure out which device to use as console. Use this file
to define hw.uart.console instead so that we don't have to put it in
the default loader.conf, which makes it hard to override.


# 122333 08-Nov-2003 marcel

Remove the atkbd, psm, sc and vga devices. Most ia64 boxes out there
are zx1 based machines and they don't particularly like it when we
poke at them with PC legacy code. The atkbd and psm devices were
disabled in the hints file so that one could enable them on machines
that support legacy devices, but that's not really something you can
expect from a first-time installer. This still leaves syscons (sc)
and the vga device, which were enabled by default and wrecking havoc
anyway. We could disable them by default like the atkbd and psm
devices, but there's really no point in pretending we're in a better
shape that way.


# 119830 07-Sep-2003 marcel

MFp4: Revamped GENERIC (and hints). This is some much more pleasant
to look at...


# 119828 07-Sep-2003 marcel

Replace sio(4) with uart(4). Remove the sio(4) hints and only add
those hints used by uart(4) for the determination of the serial
console in the absence of the HCDP table.


# 106446 05-Nov-2002 marcel

Remove mcclock. It's an Alpha left-over.


# 84130 29-Sep-2001 dfr

Make sio0 a console device.


# 66458 29-Sep-2000 dfr

This is the first snapshot of the FreeBSD/ia64 kernel. This kernel will
not work on any real hardware (or fully work on any simulator). Much more
needs to happen before this is actually functional but its nice to see
the FreeBSD copyright message appear in the ia64 simulator.
