This inetrface should be used from now on.
pseudo device pty xx still keeps its meaning: a maximum of
xx ptys is allowed.
A ringbuffer is now 2040 bytes long, per Garrett Wollman's request.
The changes are inspired by the way NetBSD did it (thanks for that!),
though I made it slihghtly different, including the interface so
at least 75% of the allocated space is deallocated when the tty is
closed.
Note further that it is easy to modify the ringbuffer length runtime.
This will have to wait untill some later date...

installed by default, because then everybody would suddenly start
trying to authenticate themselves in the CS.BERKELEY.EDU realm, which
is really not a very good idea. Maybe the README could get installed.

Subject: cache botch in bootstrap
Date: Sun, 20 Feb 94 18:14:35 +1100
The cache in the bootstrap loader didn't allow for the device changing.
This caused surprisingly little trouble - the cache is only for a single
track (or part of a track), and the first access to a new device is
always for an early sector, so there is no problem unless the last access
to the old device was for an early sector. I saw the problem on a system
with BSD on wd1 and no label on wd0. Everything worked if the the device
name wd(1,a) was specified before the default of wd(0,a) was tried, but
when the default was tried, it failed on the first sector because there
was no label, and then the first sector on wd0 was always used instead
of the first sector on wd1, so there was apparently no label on wd1
either.

pair of crunched binaries that are not built by this, but other than
that it is back to an automated procedure. So many changes it is
hard to describe.
Subject: Bugfix for SB16 with DSP version 4 and above
No description sent, but it appears to fix a major number problem
with certain models of the SB16.
Small hack, if heads > 16, output a warning and then set the head
count to 16. This stops the infinite loop on this error and allows
people to later fix the DOS parameter table later with fdisk.

The last version expected elvis* files in /var/tmp, while elvis puts
elv* files there.
back editor!
Add nvi recovery precedure from man page.
Fix ntpdate echo lines so that it looks pretty (ntpdate spits out 1 line
of output that makes the system boot up look real ugly if you do it
echo -n, so I chaged it to echo, and then added a
echo -n 'starting more network daemons:' so any addition daemon starts
look normal.
