>Description:
	Some conf files don't mention UNION. In particular no sparc conf files
	have any mention of it (which prompted me to ask the obvious dumb
	question on NetBSD-help as to how to enable union mounts :)

	I'm submitting this to port-sparc as thats what I use most, but it
	applies to just every port...
	
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
	(Note: all following paths are rooted from /src/sys)

	The following GENERIC conf files should probably have 
		options          UNION           # union file system
	added - even if it is commented out. Just so people know how to
	enable union mounts!
		    
		sparc/conf/GENERIC
		sparc/conf/GENERIC_SCSI3
		alpha/conf/GENERIC
		amiga/conf/GENERIC
		atari/conf/GENERIC
		pc532/conf/GENERIC_O
		pc532/conf/GENERIC_OF
		pc532/conf/GENERIC_RD
		pc532/conf/GENERIC_RF
		pc532/conf/GENERIC_Z
		pc532/conf/GENERIC_ZF
		pmax/conf/GENERIC.pmax

	(From here on its me just finishing what I started for the sheer hell
	of it, but I guess it hurts noone to have this extra stuff here even
	if noone could be bothered to do it :)

	If you want to run in -pedant mode then some of the conf files that
	_do_ mention it have different comments or no comments at all.
	(Give me a break, I did an egrep for UNION to find out where it
	was mentioned & picked up these :)

	The following files could have their UNION line changed to match
	the others. (Yeah, its only in the comments...Ok, ok, I was bored)

	    hp300/conf/DUALITY:options              UNION
	    hp300/conf/GENERIC:options              UNION   # Union filesystem
	    mac68k/conf/OCELOT:options              UNION   # Union filesystem
	    vax/conf/EVERYTHING:options             UNION

	And if its a _really_ rainy day someone could add the UNION line
	commented out to these.
