NetBSD/macppc 1.4.2 README file 1. patch to rebuild ramdisk for INSTALL and GENERIC_MD kernels. The macppc ramdisk has grown from 1.5M to 1.6M, however it can't be rebuilt successfully (/mnt: disk full) without either editing /etc/disktab or modifying the build process to not use /etc/disktab. The latter option has been used here. 2. INSTALL.html generated with "latin1" character set, not ASCII. 3. boot.fs kernel reported to be DOA on some macppc models. If boot.fs fails with "DEFAULT CATCH!", this is a known problem. Not resolved at time of release. 4. Fix for GENERIC kernel crash when booted from non-disk device. If the kernel was booted from a non-disk device (such as the network), LFS would crash during initialization. 5. file-system UNION disabled in GENERIC kernel for security reasons. Due to concerns about known security exploits using the UNION file system, it has been disabled in the shipping kernel. The LAST_MINUTE file contains diffs for #1, #2, #4 and #5.
