ea31d04d40 Add entry for newbus. It is rather long, but lots of nits can shoot
people with this upgrade.  Lemme know what you think, or any
corrections that should be made to it.

Corrected a few typos based on submissions from various people.

Add note that make aout-to-elf is currently broken and what to do to
work around it.  This is implied by make -DWANT_AOUT being broken, but
that isn't obvious to many people.

ff5e1f793a In reading -current, I noticed I had overlooked the NOAOUT -> WANT_AOUT
change, which deserves a mention here.

8172568955 Added a whole lot of information on upgrading with egcs and the common
problems discussed in -current up through approx april 7th.  Those
more in the know please read these changes and send me corrections.
I've only hit a few of the cases, not all of them, so my reporting is
second hand at best.

7dd38e558a Catch up with the past week:
Add better text for the ppbus changes
	Add note about libdevstat changing forcing a recompile of some
	things in the tree as well as ports that use devstat.

Thanks to those people that used HEADS UP in their message.  Large,
rabid mammals to those that wanted to beat the /etc/rc* horse with the
phrase "heads up" in the subject line.

P.S.  Forgive the delay on committing this.  I've been out of town at
a funeral until just a few minutes ago.

9857e58226 Convert to HTML. Verified to work on Netscape 4.5 and Netscape
3.something.  We were getting a lot of URL links in this file and it
seemed like a good idea to convert this file to html so people can
follow them easily.

This does not use the doc tools to generate.  I'm doing it all by hand
at the moment.

9ba54ae095 More Elven advice:
Update /etc/rc* if you are going to run a system with aout
libraries, otherwise ldconfig won't know what to do and all dynamic
aout binaries will fail.

355edc3e75 On Dec 24 the wcd driver was removed. The new driver is acd. Make a
note of this in the updating file.  Put it under the 19981224 date
rather than today's date, since that was when the change was.

Submitted by: Gregory Bond <gnb@itga.com.au>

Also added note about floppy tape driver.  Didn't add note about
voxware or pcvt as they have been restored to the kernel.

2c558794ca Add a poitner to Peter's page on the ELF migration day. This is the
day when the elves sail accross the sea to a new home, which happens
to be in your computer.  They will sing glorious songs for the Eldar
days.  You machine will shun the darkness that is upon the world.

Errrm, well actually you won't even notice...

d5513f530b Add impending flag day for ELF. Make notes about elf userland and elf
kernel forced migration happening soon.

While still incomplete, and there may be showstoppers along the way,
the advise given here is not incorrect.

required.

53dfde793f This file contains minimal instructions for the moderately clueful to
update their systems from prior versions of FreeBSD.  It is only for
November 18, 1998 and newer systems.  If you have an older system, you
are on your own.

I'll update this from time to time, and if it shows signs of bitrot
I'll kill it.
