kernel forced migration happening soon.

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

earlier version of FreeBSD, you are on your own.
19981230:
You should install new bootblocks now. The ELF kernel will
become default on Jan 6. Instructions on upgrading will be
forth coming. In addition, the aout buildworld will be
blocked at that time was well. Upgrade to elf as described in
src/Makefile.
19981202:
New groups from 19981201 commented out of mtree, so they
aren't strictly needed, but still a good idea to have.
19981201:
New user/group added: bind. From src/etc/master.passwd and
src/etc/group:
% grep <newstuff> /usr/src/etc/group
bind:*:53:
% grep <newstuff> /usr/src/etc/master.passwd
tty:*:4:65533::0:0:Tty Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
kmem:*:5:65533::0:0:KMem Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
bind:*:53:53::0:0:Bind Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
19981118:
PAM integrated into the tree. Requires new /etc/pam.conf file
to silence warnings from authentication programs (login, etc).
See src/etc/pam.conf for a sample.
YYYYMMDD:
What happened and what you need to do.
