[PULL 03/12] docs/system/target-sparc: Improve the Sparc documentation
Posted by Mark Cave-Ayland 6 months, 3 weeks ago
From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>

Add some words about how to enable or disable boolean features,
and remove the note about a Linux kernel being available on the
QEMU website (they have been removed long ago already), and the
note about NetBSD and OpenBSD still having issues (they should
work fine nowadays).
