3major breakages in tracking -current.  Not all things will be listed

9	Robert was kind enough to make this page to enable people to
10	install the new bootblocks:
11		http://www.freebsd.org/~rnordier/boot.txt
12
1319980106:
14	When updating to ELF, make sure that you have updated your
15	/etc/rc files which have different ldconfig invocations for
16	elf and aout.  Otherwise things like X will stop working with
17	messages about being unable to find library files.
18
1919990104:
20	Information about ELF day (see 19981230) can be found in
21	  http://www.freebsd.org/~peter/elfday.html
22	about the upcoming change, its motivations and instructions
23	for doing the upgrade.
24
2519981230:
26	You should install new bootblocks now.  The ELF kernel will
27	become default soon.  In addition, you'll need to upgrade
28	your userland programs to ELF before then as well.  Use
29	make aout-to-elf to upgrade your userland programs (old
30	a.out programs in, for example, /usr/local/bin will
31	continue to work, even after the upgrade).  See src/Makefile
32	for more details.
33
3419981224:
35	The old wcd driver has been deleted from the kernel.  The
36	driver that replaces it is named acd.  You'll need to change
37	this in your configuration files.
38
39	Failure to do this will result in "ATAPI CD-ROMs not
40	configured" at boot time.
41
42	The floppy tape driver (ft) has been removed from the kernel,
43	with no replacement driver.
44
4519981202:
46	New groups from 19981201 commented out of mtree, so they
47	aren't strictly needed, but still a good idea to have.
48
4919981201:
50	New user/group added: bind.  From src/etc/master.passwd and
51	src/etc/group:
52		% grep <newstuff> /usr/src/etc/group 
53		bind:*:53:
54		% grep <newstuff> /usr/src/etc/master.passwd 
55		tty:*:4:65533::0:0:Tty Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
56		kmem:*:5:65533::0:0:KMem Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
57		bind:*:53:53::0:0:Bind Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
58
5919981118:
60	PAM integrated into the tree.   Requires new /etc/pam.conf file
61	to silence warnings from authentication programs (login, etc).
62	See src/etc/pam.conf for a sample.
63
64YYYYMMDD:
65	What happened and what you need to do.
