Now minor looks like UU DDDDDD, UU - unit, DDDDDD - density.
If density == 0, CMOS-detect format assumed.
For old users/pgms use fake partitions now, i.e.
ln fd0 fd0[a-h]
No new floppy names added (expect fd? and rfd?),
because don't have agreement yet, so make devices
only for CMOS-detected formats.

added new /dev/wt entries for wt.c version 1.3
8) Some controllers support only 1024 block length.
Setting WT_BSIZE bit in device minor number turns on this mode.
Minor number structure:
0bfffuuu
Fields:
uuu - Unit number. It's possible to install
up to three tape controllers on the same machine,
using DRQs 1..3. Hence, unit number can lie
in range 0..2.
fff - Tape format number:
0 - /dev/rwt0 - default density (auto select)
1 - /dev/rwt0a - QIC 11 (obsolete)
2 - /dev/rwt0b - QIC 24 (60 megabytes)
3 - /dev/rwt0c - QIC 120 (120 megabytes)
4 - /dev/rwt0d - QIC 150 (150 megabytes)
5 - /dev/rwt0e - QIC 300 (300 megabytes?)
6 - /dev/rwt0f - QIC 600 (600 megabytes?)
b - Long block size flag. With this bit set,
the driver will perform all i/o operations
with the controller using 1024-byte
blocks, instead of 512 ones.
Some controllers need it (CMS for example).
If you Wangtek controller does not stream well,
you can try to use /dev/rWt0 device instead
of /dev/rwt0 (uncomment needed lines in /dev/MAKEDEV
to create it).
Block interface (writing blocks less than 2048 bytes) is not functioning
pwoperly. Use raw interface instead.
Thanks to all who helped to test it on the following hardware:

Subject: Bug & Fix for etc/Makefile cpio-floppy: re /tmp creation.
Date: Fri, 26 Nov 1993 11:35:04 +0100
Editors Note: tmp was listed in the CPIO_FILES section and thus the
entire contents of ${DESTDIR}/tmp would end up on the cpio floppy. This fix
moves tmp to CPIO_DIRS so that no longer happens.
determines when and how this file will be consulted. Added comment to
the effect that (1) zero is not a vaild network number and (2) please
get a valid network number assigned by your provider or by the Internet
Registry.
gives the flags to be passed to sendmail when it is started. (If it is
"NO", sendmail is not started.) Also, always start the portmapper regardless
of the value of $nfs_server; this should prevent the inetd complaints we
have seen from recurring.
that the errors from /etc/security are in the mail message from
/etc/security and not the /etc/daily mail message. Now just to fix
the bug in /etc/security
(see changes to getty which this patch is part of)
Basically, a few of the tty flags were changed to work better with
'CRT's, and the flags are better documented (documentation from Bruce
Evans).
Clean up some stuff so that it reads a little better (some one please
review this for me!)
Adaptec controllers are 154x and 174x series. Add Buslogic 545S.
the RELEASE NOTES.
Adaptec controllers are now 154x and 174x series, no more reference
to specific models. Revamp the CSI hard disk controller section in
general to be more user readable.
Add the fact that the Mitsumi CDROM controller and drive are now
supported.
Add a note that the Intel 82501 serial chip is NOT supported.
Floppy controller is fd0, not fdc0, same for wd disk controller.
