As of FreeBSD 8, this driver should not be used. Applications that use
posix_openpt(2) and openpty(3) use the pts(4) that is built into the
kernel unconditionally. If it turns out high profile depend on the
pty(4) module anyway, I'd rather get those fixed. So please report any
issues to me.
The pty(4) module is still available as a kernel module of course, so a
simple `kldload pty' can be used to run old-style pseudo-terminals.
NFSCL, NFSD instead of NFSCLIENT, NFSSERVER since
NFSCL and NFSD are now the defaults. The client change is
needed for diskless configurations, so that the root
mount works for fstype nfs.

device in /dev/ create symbolic link with adY name, trying to mimic old ATA
numbering. Imitation is not complete, but should be enough in most cases to
mount file systems without touching /etc/fstab.
- To know what behavior to mimic, restore ATA_STATIC_ID option in cases
where it was present before.
- Add some more details to UPDATING.
stack. It means that all legacy ATA drivers are disabled and replaced by
respective CAM drivers. If you are using ATA device names in /etc/fstab or
other places, make sure to update them respectively (adX -> adaY,
acdX -> cdY, afdX -> daY, astX -> saY, where 'Y's are the sequential
numbers for each type in order of detection, unless configured otherwise
with tunables, see cam(4)).
ataraid(4) functionality is now supported by the RAID GEOM class.
To use it you can load geom_raid kernel module and use graid(8) tool
for management. Instead of /dev/arX device names, use /dev/raid/rX.

Remove the first two from all kernel configuration files and
change geom_bsd and geom_mbr from standard to optional.
to detect (or load) kernel NLM support in rpc.lockd. Remove the '-k'
option to rpc.lockd and make kernel NLM the default. A user can still
force the use of the old user NLM by building a kernel without NFSLOCKD
and/or removing the nfslockd.ko module.
