in HEAD's release notes, even though the issues involved were applied
(and fixed). Copy their descriptions from one of the RELENG_*
branches (RELENG_5 in this case).
SA-06:08 and SA-06:09 were not applicable to code on HEAD and thus not
mentioned.

I uncovered these in a sweep of items that need to be merged to
the 5.4 release notes. It's possible that all of these items
should have been in the 6.1 release notes (not confirmed).
This note is a candidate for the 6.1-RELEASE errata notes (the code
change was previously merged to RELENG_6_1 but this note is appearing
too late to be merged).
hwpmc(4) and pmcstat(8) profiling support for dynamically-loaded
objects, and pmcstat(8) network logging support added[1].
Fix incorrect entries:

- <netipx> headers [1]
- IPX library (libipx)
- IPX support in ifconfig(8)
- IPXrouted(8)
- new MK_NCP option
New MK_NCP build option controls:
- <netncp> and <fs/nwfs> headers
- NCP library (libncp)
- ncplist(1) and ncplogin(1)
- mount_nwfs(8)
- ncp and nwfs kernel modules
User knobs: WITHOUT_IPX, WITHOUT_IPX_SUPPORT, WITHOUT_NCP.
[1] <netsmb/netbios.h> unconditionally uses <netipx> headers
so they are still installed. This needs to be dealt with.
at runtime and to support distributing additional kernels:
o remove kernel from the base tarball
o add new kernel tarballs
o build + package both SMP and GENERIC kernels when an <arch>/conf/SMP
config file is present
o add sysinstall support for multiple kernels
o update sysinstall to probe for the number of cpus on a system
and auto-select smp/up kernel accordingly
o add a post-kernels install hook to fixup /boot/kernel
o add -ldevinfo to boot crunch for sysinstall's cpu probing logic
Notes:
1. On HEAD this code is not currently used because GENERIC kernels
include SMP. This work is mainly intended for RELENG_6 where the
GENERIC kernel is UP. If HEAD changes to match then just enable
WITH_SMP in sysinstall/Makefile.
2. The cpu probing support is done with acpi and MPTable; this means
some systems will require work for auto-detection to work.
3. The handling of /boot/kernel may need to be revisited; for now
we rename one kernel at the last moment (SMP if installed, otherwise
GENERIC). There are other, possibly better, approaches.
Lots of help from ru, emaste, scottl, and jhb.
New release notes: BIND 9.3.2 (+MFC), IPFilter 4.1.10, tzdata2005r (+MFC).
Deleted release notes: libpcap and tcpdump updates (these updates
were actually a part of 6.0-RELEASE and therefore aren't "new"
anymore).
- add -lgeom
- use bsdlabel instead of disklabel
- increase image size to 2.88M (plenty of free space left)
note, this is not really a bridge because the old-style
bridging code is not in 7.0 anymore, so the kernel config
file should be changed.
livecd != disc1 case (i.e. ia64). The line was appended to the

line to after the file is created.

fix slipped through a crack. Remove the apache and php packages under
the assumption someone installing a Web server has network access and
doesn't *need* the packages on disc2.
This will be insta-MFCed...
Try to make everyone happy: David (to have debug kernels installed
by default), Warner (to be able to override that), and myself (for
actually making it all work and to be consistent).
Now, if kernel was configured for debugging (through DEBUG=-g in
the kernel config file or "config -g"), doing "make install" will
install debug versions of kernel and module objects with their
canonical names,
kernel.debug -> /boot/kernel/kernel
if_fxp.ko.debug -> /boot/kernel/if_fxp.ko
Installing a kernel not configured for debugging, or debug kernel
with INSTALL_NODEBUG variable defined, will install non-debug
kernel and module objects.
Also, restore the install.debug and reinstall.debug targets that
are part of the existing API (they cause some additional gdb(1)
scripts to be installed).
gre(4) IPv6 over GRE support,
ipfw IPv6 support,

This involves having passwd bits available so that seteuid("_dhcp") work,
and creating /var/empty so that chroot(_VAR_EMPTY) works. My gut feeling
is that the better solution is to make privsep and chroot optional in
dhclient, but this works well for now and is low-risk.
