1. Correct FTP site for 4.0-stable snapshots and delete sentence
fragment immediately following.
[ not applicable to HEAD ]
2. Add FDDI section to table of contents (see #5 below) and add
one line of whitespace.
3. In userland section, document csh->tcsh, more->less, and
colorized ls.
4. In Ethernet section, do:
s/gigabit ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet/
s/fast ethernet/Fast Ethernet/
s/ethernet/Ethernet/
5. Pull DEC DEFPA/DEFEA *FDDI* cards out of the *Ethernet* section
and into their own second-level section.
6. Add missing period in section header in ATM section.
7. Tweak upgrading sectio with some new text, not sure if this is
much better though.
8. Add a blurb about the -stable mailing list.

I'll add examples when I add the post-include mechanism, since the
crunch.mk environment stomps on the pre-included crunch.inc's variables
at the moment.
objects, to simplify working with PicoBSD.
Add the ability to put make instructions in crunch.inc to pass to the
build process.
Now explicitly make the objects in our own object tree, since we want to
build the objects with our own defines, and allow this to occur in a
common object tree for all PicoBSD builds, if required. This is
controlled by the COMM_OBJ variable, for those who don't want this -
setting it to /usr/obj again will just pick up the objects from your
last make buildworld, as before.
for read-only src tree.
While I'm there:
1) Use kgzip, not kzip, since kzip certainly doesn't make bootable
kernels anymore. loader still isn't built separately, let alone without
forth support. This needs to be fixed.
2) Expand the mount/vnconfig examples to be the defacto way of making
sure the filesystems are mounted, unmounted, or not configured. This
needs more work.
3) quieten the build substantially, so errors are more prominent
4) Start of '-j' ability. Current style isn't quite in the correct
dependency format for this, but obvious mistakes (changing directories
in main shell) are fixed.

IPv6 configuration is only done by rtsol. Does someone really
need manual configuration? :-)
You can specify IPv6 DNS server as well.
We have only one server ftp7.jp.freebsd.org that speaks IPv6
in this time. ftp7.jp speaks IPv4 as well and also listed as
Japan #7.

controller chip. This chip is currently being used on the NetGear
FA312-TX adapter, which I guess is a replacement for the FA310-TX
(PNIC-based).
I added support for this chip by modifying the sis driver since
the SiS 900 and the NS DP83815 have almost the same programming
interface (the RX filter programming and PHY access methods are
different, but the general configuration, DMA scheme and register
layout are identical).
I would have had this done a lot sooner, but getting the damn MAC
address out of the EEPROM proved to be more complicated than expected.
rc and login.conf files from the /etc directory on the floppy.
This prevents the overwrite yes/no prompt from occuring in gzip.
(some PicoBSD disks use gzip and some use minigzip, so the gzip -f flag (force)
is not an option. minigzip has a different meaning for the -f flag.}

Also, since usbd already handles USB mice automatically, note that the
mouse setup section in sysinstall only applies to non-USB mice.
distfiles to build the docproj port during release. Prior to this, the
distfiles were copied froom ${DISTFILES}. However, if like me, you needed
to store the distfiles in some directory other than /usr/ports/distfiles,
for example /usr/docdistfiles, then when you overrode ${DISTFILES} it broke
the release build when it tried to build docproj port in the chroot'd
release area. To preserve backwards compatibility, DOCDISTFILES defaults
to the value of DISTFILES.

. Bring PicoBSD up to date with -CURRENT reality.
. Make PicoBSD smart and not spam /dev/vn0 and /mnt. Now it uses the first
unused vn device and creates a temporary mountpoint in /tmp.
. Miscellaneous build cleanups and optimizations.
Unfortunately the bridge, isp, and router floppies are too big and need
the axe treatment. The install floppy needs updating to -CURRENT. Dial and
net build and (appear to) run OK. I will be adressing these in the
near future (unless someone beats me to it :-) ).

the ports and doc trees. There is no change if we are not building a
release (i.e., we are not using a tag of the form RELENG_ver_RELEASE
--e.g., a RELENG_ver tag used to build a snapshot).
This should allow the ports and doc freezes during the release cycles
to be somewhat shorter, as commits to those (non-branched) trees can
resume as soon as the tags are laid down.
