>Description:
Version 1.1/1.2 mismatches in pmax installation documentation found in
current /usr/usr/distrib/notes/pmax files.
The file prep contains the following text:
NOTE that the instructions on old versions of the web site
are incorrect. The installation miniroot image for both NetBSD 1.1
and 1.1 include the 8Kbytes reserved for bootblocks and disklabel.
The text "1.1 and 1.1" does not look good. Should it be "1.1 and 1.2" or just
"1.2" ??
Suggested fix for files contents and upgrade included below:
