 SYSTEM ERRATA INFORMATION:



o  Kernel change information is not saved in the new kernel, even
   though this is claimed to work in the docs.

Fix: The change information is being written out, in fact, but to the
 wrong location.  move /kernel.config to /boot/kernel.conf (if it
 exists, otherwise there were no changes to save) and add the
 following lines to /boot/loader.rc:

load /kernel
load -t userconfig_script /boot/kernel.conf
autoboot 5

 This will cause the kernel change information to be read in and
 used properly (and you just learned a little about the new 3-stage
 loader in the process, so the exercise wasn't a total loss).

 SYSTEM ERRATA INFORMATION:


o  DOS installation fails when you actually follow the instructions
   to install stuff under C:\FREEBSD\BIN\... and so on.

Fix: The instructions are correct but the code was wrong in 3.1-RELEASE,
 sysinstall looking instead directly under C:\ (e.g. C:\BIN\...)
 or under C:\RELEASES\ (C:\RELEASES\BIN\... and so on).  Fixed
 in 3.1-STABLE.
