9	The ISA and PCI compatability shims have been connected to the
10	options COMPAT_OLDISA and COMPAT_OLDPCI.  If you are using old
11	style PCI or ISA drivers (i.e. tx, voxware, etc.) you must
12	include the appropriate option in your kernel config.  Drivers
13	using the shims should be updated or they won't ship with
14	5.0-RELEASE, targeted for 2001.

17	We've entered the tradtional post release dumping party.
18	Large kernel changes are being committed and are in the
19	works.  It is important to keep the systems' klds and kernel
20	in sync as kernel interfaces and structures are changing.
21	Before reporting kernel panics, make sure that all modules
22	that you are loading are up to date.

25	If you are upgrading from an older version of FreeBSD, you
26	need to update your boot blocks as well.  'disklabel -B ad0'
27	will do the trick.  This isn't critical until you remove your
28	wd device entries in /dev, at which point your system will not
29	boot.
