! 39: The readv(2) and writev(2) system calls would not accept a <em>struct iovec</em>
! 40: with an <strong>iov_len</strong> of 0. This causes a db test in perl to fail.

67: A problem with NFS version 3 mounts on big endian machines (m68k, sparc
68: and powerpc) exists when mounting filesystems larger than 2gig. You
69: can see evidence of the bug by running df(1) and checking for negative

92: Alternately, you can also download a pre-compiled terminfo file to be
93: installed as <strong>/usr/share/misc/terminfo.db</strong>. For i386,
94: alpha and mips, use the
95: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/common/terminfo.db-LE.tar.gz>

126: i386 installboot had a sign extention bug which prevented proper bootblock

147: The sparc hme(4) driver works poorly on some types of of SS-20 machines.
148: This is because those machines lie, saying they support 64-bit DMA
149: bursting. No sun4m machines supprort that.
