Add a section at the end called COMMON ITEMS. This is where we'll put those questions that come up all the time (eg, how do I build a kernel). This is intended to be a very brief reminder for people that are basically clueful what the steps are to do these common things. What it lacks in verbosity it makes up in terseness.

Add entry about the isa/pci shim issue.

20000319:
The ISA and PCI compatability shims have been connected to the
options COMPAT_OLDISA and COMPAT_OLDPCI. If you are using old
style PCI or ISA drivers (i.e. tx, voxware, etc.) you must
include the appropriate option in your kernel config. Drivers
using the shims should be updated or they won't ship with
5.0-RELEASE, targeted for 2001.
Massive gut. We're not into 5.0 so remove all 4.x entries from this file and start over. Also note that we're in the traditional whack-a-ball kernel model/api reorg for 5.0 and that one needs to be extra careful about making sure models and kernels are in sync.

We've entered the tradtional post release dumping party.
Large kernel changes are being committed and are in the
works. It is important to keep the systems' klds and kernel
in sync as kernel interfaces and structures are changing.
Before reporting kernel panics, make sure that all modules
that you are loading are up to date.
Normally I don't put entries that should have been made months ago into UPDATING. However, in this case I'm making an exception. I'm adding a recommendation that people update their boot blocks. Old boot blocks will cause a system to become unbootable if you have removed /dev/{,r}wd*. Submitted by: Jeroen Ruigrok/Asmodai <asmodai@freebsd.org>

If you are upgrading from an older version of FreeBSD, you
need to update your boot blocks as well. 'disklabel -B ad0'
will do the trick. This isn't critical until you remove your
wd device entries in /dev, at which point your system will not
boot.
