9	Information about ELF day (see 19981230) can be found in
10	  http://www.freebsd.org/~peter/elfday.html
11	about the upcoming change, its motivations and instructions
12	for doing the upgrade.
13
1419981230:
15	You should install new bootblocks now.  The ELF kernel will
16	become default soon.  In addition, you'll need to upgrade
17	your userland programs to ELF before then as well.  Use
18	make aout-to-elf to upgrade your userland programs (old
19	a.out programs in, for example, /usr/local/bin will
20	continue to work, even after the upgrade).  See src/Makefile
21	for more details.
22
2319981224:
24	The old wcd driver has been deleted from the kernel.  The
25	driver that replaces it is named acd.  You'll need to change
26	this in your configuration files.
27
28	Failure to do this will result in "ATAPI CD-ROMs not
29	configured" at boot time.
30
31	The floppy tape driver (ft) has been removed from the kernel,
32	with no replacement driver.
33
3419981202:
35	New groups from 19981201 commented out of mtree, so they
36	aren't strictly needed, but still a good idea to have.
37
3819981201:
39	New user/group added: bind.  From src/etc/master.passwd and
40	src/etc/group:
41		% grep <newstuff> /usr/src/etc/group 
42		bind:*:53:
43		% grep <newstuff> /usr/src/etc/master.passwd 
44		tty:*:4:65533::0:0:Tty Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
45		kmem:*:5:65533::0:0:KMem Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
46		bind:*:53:53::0:0:Bind Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
47
4819981118:
49	PAM integrated into the tree.   Requires new /etc/pam.conf file
50	to silence warnings from authentication programs (login, etc).
51	See src/etc/pam.conf for a sample.
52
53YYYYMMDD:
54	What happened and what you need to do.
