Change install images called *.fs to *.img. These are UFS filesystem images,
but additionally have a bootblock in the first 8K (since UFS does not use that
space). There are some UEFI direct-from-internet bootloaders that require
the name *.img. So this makes things more convenient for those, while keeping
it consistant in all architectures.

Remove the miniroot for the OMAP3 BeagleBoards. Ethernet is on USB and
USB isn't supported. The installer turns out to have been broken on
BeagleBoard for over a year and no one noticed. The existing support
for OMAP3 in the kernel remains though it isn't clear if anyone has
tried it after the fdt changes went in.

# 4d6bb766 13-Aug-2017 jsg <jsg@openbsd.org>

Avoid raw devices when dd'ing U-Boot. Avoids cases that might require
conv=sync. Discussed with kettenis some time ago.


# 49d6abde 19-Jan-2017 jsg <jsg@openbsd.org>

The u-boot package was renamed to u-boot-arm.

Some armv7 machines are shipped with linux images that run USB OTG ports
in client mode and provide serial access to a getty and networking.

Make it clear that a real serial console that can interact with the
firmware is required.

Mention the EFI and DTB requirement. List U-Boot 2016.07 as 2016.05
needs a patch to work with efiboot on non imx platforms that is
included in ports/packages but might not be present otherwise.

While U-Boot 2016.07 final is not released yet the
"efi_loader: Don't allocate from memory holes" patch is included
in rc1/rc2/rc3 and should make the final release.

# 216a9a57 29-May-2016 jsg <jsg@openbsd.org>

Remove the section on tftp booting a umg file. This might come back in
a different form when u-boot supports efi networking interfaces.

# fa4b262f 14-Nov-2014 jsg <jsg@openbsd.org>

Describe how to load the installer over the network via TFTP.
At least on the bbb there is no need to specify the load address,
I'd be interested to hear if this isn't the case for other boards.


# 07e9d13b 01-May-2014 jasper <jasper@openbsd.org>

Ok from maja, tedu, bmercer, jj. "I like it" from deraadt
