NQNFS code is ancient, bug-ridden, and should probably be removed).
The wording here was very confusing; it was easy to get the impression
that NQNFS is an extension to NFSv3 when in fact it just uses some
NFSv3-like extensions on top of NFSv2. As witnessed by the mailing
lists and PRs, some people were reading the description and deciding
that NQNFS was what they wanted to use.

notes build. Instead of having doc.relnotes.mk make a guess, hardcode
quite a bit (but as little as possible) in Makefile.inc's sprinkled
strategicly throughout the tree. This has the advantage of actually
working properly (which is a Good Thing(tm)), and the disadvantages of
more files in the repository and more hardcoded paths (which are both
Bad Things(tm)).
non-printable characters to sneak into /var/log/messages (e.g.
someone aims a Solaris/Linux RCP exploit at your FreeBSD box and
you end up with his shellcode as part of a log entry). You might
get something like,
host.mydom.org login failures:

In the daily security script as a result. Allowing attackers to
mess with your security script's ability to accurately report
is a Bad Thing. Tell grep(1) to treat /var/log/messages like a
text file even if it has non-printable characters.

It's really irritating when you run ppp with no arguments and end up
blowing away your default route !
I get a link error on in6addr_<something> and i cannot find the

case the crunched binary would overflow the floppy, so...
This applies to -current only.
Make sure hints are statically compiled into the kernel,
because the bootloader is not available in picobsd and so the
hints file cannot be found at run time.
(This is kind of inconvenient if you have to handle non PnP devices,
but fortunately these days non-PnP ISA cards are disappearing...)
This must have to do with the use of devfs in -CURRENT, but i
have no idea when the devfs is actually mounted (is it a
side effect of mount -t nonfs or what ?) and when /dev/fd0c becomes
available.
For the time being, let's use this hack. Once I understand how devfs
works, this can be reverted back to the previous value, and also the
part of the build script which creates device entries can be nuked.
This is for -current only.
better place to handle dependencies.
Make another step at helping cross-compiling: when the user specifies
an alternate source tree, the script takes care of creating include
files and libraries for the new tree.
Furthermore, build and use a version of the "config" program which
matches the new sources.
It takes a long time to create libraries, and it might even not do
the right thing at once, there might be some dependencies that i
have forgotten. At any rate, with this code i have been able to
build a working picobsd image using -CURRENT sources on -STABLE
