timeouts in the SA driver (timeouts for space, rewind and erase). Folks
can lengthen the timeouts if their hardware is especially slow, or shorten
them if they want to be notified of errors a little sooner.
Also, get rid of two OD driver options. The od driver has been made
obsolete by the da driver.

expected. This bug caused builds of Modula-3 to fail in mysterious
ways on SMP kernels. More precisely, such builds failed on systems
with kern.fast_vfork equal to 0, the default and only supported
value for SMP kernels.

Paris, 17 July 1998
Bulletin C 16
To authorities responsible for
the measurement and distribution
of time
UTC TIME STEP
on the 1st of January 1999
A positive leap second will be introduced at the end of December 1998.
The sequence of dates of the UTC second markers will be:
1998 December 31, 23h 59m 59s
1998 December 31, 23h 59m 60s
1999 January 1, 0h 0m 0s
The difference between UTC and the International Atomic Time TAI is:
from 1997 July 1, 0h UTC, to 1999 January 1, 0h UTC : UTC-TAI = - 31s
from 1999 January 1, 0h UTC, until further notice : UTC-TAI = - 32s
Leap seconds can be introduced in UTC at the end of the months of
December or June, depending on the evolution of UT1-TAI. Bulletin C mailed
every six months, either to announce a time step in UTC, or to confirm that
there will be no time step at the next possible date.

route. If your nameserver config is wrong, this will otherwise hang for
the default resolver timeout (75 seconds), leading people to think that
the system has hung.
- Express various sizes in bytes, rather than Kbytes, in the video
mode and adapter information structures.
- Fill 0 in the linear buffer size field if the linear frame buffer
is not available.
- Remove SW_VESA_USER ioctl. It is still experimetal and was not meant
to be released.
- Fix missing cast operator.
- Correctly handle pointers returned by the VESA BIOS. The pointers
may point to the area either in the BIOS ROM or in the buffer supplied
by the caller.
- Set the destructive cursor at the right moment.
o Use the board id command to find out what kind of board
we're talking to. If we're talking to a board that is has
an ID that is shared between boards supported by the aha
driver and the bt driver, then use the bt's geometry
register to weed out the bt cards. Otherwise assume that we
support this card.
o Remove bt esetup command sending to the card. It seems to
wedge too many cards.
o Revert to doing a soft reset after an invalid command. This
change didn't fix anything, so I'm backing it out. The
whole issue of card resetting needs to be revisisted at some
point so that we can do it properly on all hardware.
o GC unused stuff in some places.
bootblocks, the kernel shows up as the primary module:

^^^^ oops.. :-)
Based heavily on aout_freebsd.c. Hmm.. There's so much in common that
these could probably be combined and just check the metadata to see which
format it is.
