3 This file contains important information on the NetBSD 1.6 release that
4 did not make it into the main documentation.

6 [all]
7 The Kerberos ticket forwarding programs kf(1) and kfd(8) have
8 some security issues, and should be disabled to ensure that
9 they can not be used, even though the server (kfd(8)) is not
10 enabled by default.
11
12 They can be disabled with:
13 chmod 0 /usr/bin/kf /usr/libexec/kfd

15 [amiga]
16 The loadbsd program does not yet have the ability to load
17 ELF kernels (the new executable format for NetBSD 1.6), so
18 the only way to boot NetBSD is using the bootblock method.
19 Because some Amigas are unable to boot from bootblocks,
20 there is an experimental program provided to emulate booting
21 from the bootblocks. The program is runbootblock, which
22 will be found in the amiga/installation/misc directory.

24 [atari]
25 The xbase.tgz set that was available before "Sep 16 13:57"
26 was a "shared" copy with other m68k ports. However, as the
27 atari currently requires its own copy of this set this was
28 corrected on that time.
29
30 The sum entries for the correct set are:
31 BSDSUM 29517 2522 xbase.tgz
32 CKSUM 4259307667 2581755 xbase.tgz
33 MD5 MD5 (xbase.tgz) = 7b65569fd7143ff1c8baf86a19c04f61
34 SYSVSUM 15857 5043 xbase.tgz

36 [m68k MACHINE_ARCH, including: amiga, atari, mac68k, x68k]
37 A problem with the floating point emulator used by certain
38 Motorola 680x0-based systems can cause erratic faults in
39 applications that use floating point calculations.
40 Systems using the 68020 or 68030 microprocessor but lacking
41 a 68881 or 68882 floating point processor may be vulnerable
42 to the flaw.
43 This issue may affect both installation and normal operation.
