Like ARM, most SH devices don't have a CDROM drive, so thats why there's |
| 14 |
no ISO. Like I told you, the way to install onto those kind of machines |
| 15 |
is either tftpbooting or putting the disk into another machine and |
| 16 |
configure it from there. I've installed all my ARM and SH machines using |
| 17 |
the latter. |

The reason for not having a manual is like ARM, there are specific |
| 20 |
boards which require different configurations, kernels, bootloaders, |
| 21 |
etc. Same reason as why there's no ISO, some boards couldn't even boot |
| 22 |
from the CDROM, and you'll need a kernel for each board, etc... |

I've always thought that whoever has a SH board, m68k, or access to a |
| 25 |
s390 machine, and wants to use Gentoo, is smart enough to do it by itself. |
