the 802.3 frames generated by the DC21040 (which does automatic padding
of less-than-minimum frames) and the frames generated by the 'ed'
driver, I've found that there is indeed a bug in the size of "ETHER_MIN_LEN"
as reported by several people, John Hay being the most recent. The driver
was actually setting the length to 6+6+2+50 (64 bytes), which when adding
in the CRC (which is automatically appended to the frame and not included
in the length), the minimum frame is 4 bytes larger than it is supposed to
be. All of this is confirmed by tcpdump showing 50 bytes of data for
minimum frames from the 'ed' cards and 46 bytes from 'de' cards. This
analysis has also revealed that there is garbage in the un-filled in
portion at the end of the minimum frames from the 'ed' driver; I don't
plan to fix this.
Print a final newline to stderr after the scan finishes, only do it
at the right place in this version, 1.1.5.1 caused an extra newline
if you where not running -s, and it went to stdout instead of stderr.

require specific partitions be mentioned in the kernel config
file ("swap on foo" is now obsolete).
From Poul-Henning:
The visible effect is this:
As default, unless
options "NSWAPDEV=23"
is in your config, you will have four swap-devices.
You can swapon(2) any block device you feel like, it doesn't have
to be in the kernel config.
There is a performance/resource win available by getting the NSWAPDEV right
(but only if you have just one swap-device ??), but using that as default
would be too restrictive.
The invisible effect is that:
Swap-handling disappears from the $arch part of the kernel.
It gets a lot simpler (-145 lines) and cleaner.

Ports for which we can't build packages should define NO_PACKAGE but
still prepare pkg/* files. The user who really wants a package and
clear of the legal problems can say FORCE_PACKAGE from the command line
to build a package anyway.
A phone call from Manfred quickly pointed up the fact that I got the conflict

Make the default unconfigured entries for swdevt[0] and dumplo something

in nfs_vfsops.c when booting diskless).

that last sentence doesn't make any sense, I'm not surprised. It's rather
compilcated how this all fits together....).
This should fix a problem that Ed Hudson has been complaining about where
directories with lots of symlinks could cause excessive disk I/O.
with davidg about it, I hereby kill two undocumented misfeatures:
The code to skip a miniroot in the swapdev is not particular useful, and
if we need it we need it to be done properly, ie size the fs and skip all
of it not some hardcoded size, and subtract what we skip from the length
in the first place.
The SEQSWAP dies too. It's not the way to do it, it doesn't work, and
nobody have expressed any great desire for it to work. The way to
implement it correctly would be a second argument to swapon(2) to give
a priority/policy information. Low priority swapdevs can be made so
by adding them at a far offset (0x80000000 kind of thing), with almost no
modification to the strategy routine (in particular a offset per swapdev).
But until the need is obvious, it will not be done.
