# $NetBSD: LAST_MINUTE,v 1.1.2.5 2002/12/22 13:40:56 lukem Exp $ This file contains important information on the NetBSD 1.6 release that did not make it into the main documentation. [all] The Kerberos ticket forwarding programs kf(1) and kfd(8) have some security issues, and should be disabled to ensure that they can not be used, even though the server (kfd(8)) is not enabled by default. They can be disabled with: chmod 0 /usr/bin/kf /usr/libexec/kfd [alpha] The X sets (xbase.tgz, xcomp.tgz, xcontrib.tgz, xfont.tgz, xmisc.tgz, and xserver.tgz) available before "Sep 25 18:24" contained zero-length manual pages. (This was reported in problem report [port-alpha/13384].) The MD5 entries for the corrected sets are: MD5 (text.tgz) = 251f34211dd70719641e9691c5631329 MD5 (xbase.tgz) = b4eb8b0b0db0f1215335afdc1aaee4f8 MD5 (xcomp.tgz) = 8e0d3f9398527e3bd2e4b1cc64cc1fbd MD5 (xcontrib.tgz) = 4a52853a21cd5e87b3296819ca6e7b4b MD5 (xfont.tgz) = 3b345adb0b6b7d526a5803dca0e44ca5 MD5 (xmisc.tgz) = be2d4d9aca9cc6e427c0549625a539a6 MD5 (xserver.tgz) = 3e7924da9b73f7dea528fd376d549da5 [amiga] The loadbsd program does not yet have the ability to load ELF kernels (the new executable format for NetBSD 1.6), so the only way to boot NetBSD is using the bootblock method. Because some Amigas are unable to boot from bootblocks, there is an experimental program provided to emulate booting from the bootblocks. The program is runbootblock, which will be found in the amiga/installation/misc directory. [atari] The xbase.tgz set that was available before "Sep 16 13:57" was a "shared" copy with other m68k ports. However, as the atari currently requires its own copy of this set this was corrected on that time. The sum entries for the correct set are: BSDSUM 29517 2522 xbase.tgz CKSUM 4259307667 2581755 xbase.tgz MD5 MD5 (xbase.tgz) = 7b65569fd7143ff1c8baf86a19c04f61 SYSVSUM 15857 5043 xbase.tgz [m68k MACHINE_ARCH, including: amiga, atari, mac68k, x68k] A problem with the floating point emulator used by certain Motorola 680x0-based systems can cause erratic faults in applications that use floating point calculations. Systems using the 68020 or 68030 microprocessor but lacking a 68881 or 68882 floating point processor may be vulnerable to the flaw. This issue may affect both installation and normal operation. [cats] The xserver.tgz is built from XFree86 4.x sources (xsrc/xfree/xc), not XFree86 3.x sources (xsrc/xc). The rest of the X sets are still the shared arm32 XFree86 3.x sets. [sparc] A bug in the creation of the boot floppies meant that the first disk was not bootable by the Sparc PROM because a Sun disk label is not present in the images. The following is a uuencoded gzipped Sun disk label suitable for writing to the start of a floppy that contains the "disk1" image. Save the following paragraph to a temporary file "tmpfile", and write it to a floppy which already contains the NetBSD 1.6 "disk1" floppy image with: uudecode -p tmpfile | gunzip -c | dd of=/dev/rfd0a begin 644 floppylabel.gz M'XL("$2^!3X"`V9L;W!P>6QA8F5L`&-@&`5#``2@L)@8A!!2W`[D&GIKW\5W )`&@@52,``@`` ` end This problem has been solved for the next release.
