From 6d23c3828e14a4109f7e82d10c369db4812b71db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Warner Losh Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2000 06:59:46 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] 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*.
