                     12:        On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
                     13:        the old wsqms driver is now called qms.  Kernel config files
                     14:        will need updating.  See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf

                     24:        added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
                     25:        when using those layouts.  If you have been using -current
                     26:        since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
1.110     dbj        27:        superblock mismatches.  To repair, make sure you have
1.111   ! simonb     28:        an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
1.109     dbj        29:        to complete the filesystem upgrade.  A message has
1.111   ! simonb     30:        been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.

        !            54:        to the kernel which should discover and warn about it.  See

                     59:        code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running

                     81: 20030516:
                     82:        Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
                     83:        were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
                     84:        mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
                     85:        been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
                     86:        export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
                     87:        make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
                     88:        file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
                     89:        a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.

                     92:        The superblock layout for FFS was changed.  If you have 1.6
                     93:        fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
                     94:        with the first alternate, because they compare too many
                     95:        fields (even ones that aren't useful).  If possible, upgrade
                     96:        your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
                     97:        None of this signals actual filesystem damage.

                    102:        mode for most common activities, there is a new config

                    105:        is named netbsd-msp.cf.  Upgrading your regular sendmail
                    106:        configuration file is also strongly advised.

                    122:        This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
