openssh: Import 5.1. [christos 20090216]
|
|
amd64, i386: The bootloader has been enhanced to support framebuffer
|
|
consoles using VESA BIOS extensions. These changes allow the
|
|
x86 ports to work with the genfb(4) driver, and obsoletes
|
|
the i386-only vesafb(4) driver. [jmcneill 20090216]

|
|
softdep: The soft dependences / soft updates feature of the fast
|
|
file system (FFS) has been supplanted by meta data
|
|
journaling (logging). Logging provides better reliability
|
|
and better performance for most applications. Soft
|
|
dependencies will no longer be available from NetBSD 6.0
|
|
onwards. We encourage users to enable logging on FFS file
|
|
systems. [ad 20090222]
|
|
sgimips: build Xorg by default [macallan 20080223]
|
|

|
|
pciback PCI drivers, to which device specified in the
|
|
pciback.hide boot parameter will attach.
|
|
DomU kernels gets a xpci device, to which PCI buses
|
|
will attach. [bouyer 20090305]
|
|
xen: Add XEN3PAE_DOM0, a i386 domain0 kernel with PAE support.
|
|
requires a i386PAE or x86_64 hypervisor. [bouyer 20090305]
|
|
kernel: Compute kern.ipc.shmmaxpgs on startup based on physical
|
|
memory. Default can be overridden via sysctl. [joerg 20090306]
|
|

|
|
later chips. [tsutsui 20090307]
