Hello,
in d-i manual about USB-Booting:
I noticed an discrepancy in chapter
'Copying the files — the easy way':
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is an all-in-one file <filename>hd-media/boot.img.gz</filename>
which contains all the installer files (including the kernel)
<phrase arch="x86">as well as <classname>syslinux</classname> and its
configuration file.</phrase>
<phrase arch="powerpc">as well as <classname>yaboot</classname> and its
configuration file.</phrase>
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A possible output is (for example in the manual for kfreebsd-i386):
There is an all-in-one file hd-media/boot.img.gz which contains
all the installer files (including the kernel)
(missing comma in front of which, and missing fullstop at the end)
Patch attached.
(Samuel: maybe there is something not 100% correct with the arch options
for the kfreebsd manuals?
The situation in this special paragraph in the past was: 'arch=x86' and
'arch=powerpc' are used, and both are 'bootable-usb' (the hole file
is 'condition=bootable-usb').
Now, kfreebsd-i386 is 'bootable-usb', but does not belong to 'x86' or
'powerpc'.)
Another problem might be, that some of the paragraphs in this file are
marked with "<para arch="x86">", others are only marked "<para>".
Resulting in some paragraphs beeing included in an output version,
and others beeing left out. I'm unsure if this is intended.
Samuel: Since I noticed this especially for the kfreebsd-i386 d-i-manual,
this is probably an issue for you?
And: at the beginning of that file (../en/install-methods/boot-usb-files.xml)
I read several times about Linux, even in the kfreebsd manual.
Could you check, if this is correct?
Holger
