Please send new entries -in it to him. It contains a list, in reverse chronologocal order, of -major breakages in tracking -current. Not all things will be listed -here, and it only starts on Novemeber 18, 1998. If you have an -earlier version of FreeBSD, you are on your own to get to November 18, -1998. - -19990119: - More work on the syscons driver has been committed. Since - files moved around, you will need to reconfigure your kernel, - and make clean; make depend before rebuilding the kernel. No - config file changes are needed. - -19990111: - New keyboard and video card drivers are introduced as the first - stage of console driver reorganization. You are required to - update the kernel configuration file and rebuild the kernel. - kbdcontrol, vidcontrol, and screen savers also need recompilation. - The instruction can be found in - - http://www.freebsd.org/~yokota/sc_update.txt - - It has notes on splash screen too. - -19990106: - Robert Nordier was kind enough to make this page to enable people to - install the new bootblocks: - - http://www.freebsd.org/~rnordier/boot.txt - - When updating to ELF, make sure that you have updated your - /etc/rc files which have different ldconfig invocations for - elf and aout. Otherwise things like X will stop working with - messages about being unable to find library files. The - mergemaster utility in ports/sysutils/mergemaster helps to - keep critical files like this in sync, and its use is - recommended. - -19990104: - Information about ELF day (see 19981230) can be found in - - http://www.freebsd.org/~peter/elfday.html - - about the upcoming change, its motivations and instructions - for doing the upgrade. - -19981230: - You should install new bootblocks now. The ELF kernel will - become default soon. In addition, you'll need to upgrade - your userland programs to ELF before then as well. Use - make aout-to-elf to upgrade your userland programs (old - a.out programs in, for example, /usr/local/bin will - continue to work, even after the upgrade). See src/Makefile - for more details. - -19981224: - The old wcd driver has been deleted from the kernel. The - driver that replaces it is named acd. You'll need to change - this in your configuration files. - - Failure to do this will result in "ATAPI CD-ROMs not - configured" at boot time. - - The floppy tape driver (ft) has been removed from the kernel, - with no replacement driver. - -19981202: - New groups from 19981201 commented out of mtree, so they - aren't strictly needed, but still a good idea to have. - -19981201: - New user/group added: bind.
