20091212:
        /etc/drivers.conf has been renamed to /etc/system.conf.
        user "service" has been added to password file /etc/passwd.
20060818:
	You need flex in your $PATH, which has become part of the base
	system. This needs bigger binaries.
	If you don't have flex yet, you can compile it first by doing:
	# cp /usr/src/etc/binary_sizes* /etc
	# binsizes big
	# cd /usr/src/commands/flex-2.5.4 
	# sh build
20061222:
	Install binaries in the right order because the new readdir
	implementation and the new mount program are incompatible
	with older kernels and the new kernels require the new mount.
	# cd /usr/src
	# make includes
	# make libraries
	# make cmds
	# make depend
	# cd /usr/src/tools
	# make hdboot
	# make install
	# cd ..
	# make install
	Installing fails for boot. Reboot the system
	# reboot -x 'unset image; boot'
	Now install everything
	# cd /usr/src
	# make install
20061222:
	The archictecture-dependent/-independent split needs ARCH=<arch>
	in /etc/make.conf, included by some Makefiles and sourced by
	some shell scripts. To install it, type 'make install' in
	src/etc, or simply copy the file over.
20070118:
	drivers.conf has been updated to include an ACL for mfs. it has
	to be installed before rebooting after an update of the mount command.
20070212 (r2751):
	mkfs needs more memory to make an image; chmem it or do
	# touch mkfs.c ; make /usr/bin/mkfs
	in /usr/src/commands/simple.
20091006 (r5422):
	OSS requires an improved make to be compiled; run "make install"
	in /usr/src/commands/make before running "make world".
