124: <br>
125: Alternately, you can also download a pre-compiled terminfo file to be
126: installed as <strong>/usr/share/misc/terminfo.db</strong>. For i386,
127: alpha and mips, use the
128: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/common/terminfo.db-LE.tar.gz>
129: little endian</a> version. For sparc, m68k and powerpc, use the

! 158: <li><font color=#009000><strong>FUNCTIONALITY FIX</strong></font><br>
! 159: The kernel was using a fixed and hard-coded location for the arguments
! 160: vector passed from the <strong>/boot</strong> loader. This prevented
! 161: </strong>/boot</strong> from placing the boot arguments vector at any
! 162: other location, causing a kernel crash early in the autoconfiguration
! 163: stage. In 2.5, the bootblocks will be modified to use a new location.
! 164: Hence, if you wish old kernels to boot on a new bootblock, those
! 165: kernels will only work if they were linked with this patch.

177: <li><font color=#009000><strong>FUNCTIONALITY FIX</strong></font><br>
178: i386 installboot had a sign extention bug which prevented proper bootblock
179: initialization when the root filesystem was placed beyond 4GB.

1.155 deraadt 181: A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a><br>
182: Unfortunately, updated 2.4 install floppies are not available. Just ensure
183: that your root filesystem is below 4GB, for now.

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