System: NetBSD lapton.mono.org 1.2D NetBSD 1.2D (_LAPTON_) #3: Sun Apr 27 22:24:02 BST 1997 root@lapton.mono.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/_LAPTON_ i386


>Description:
	options.4 does not mention COMPAT_NOMID.

>How-To-Repeat:
	man 4 options & wonder what COMPAT_NOMID does.

>Fix:
     Something along the lines of:

     options COMPAT_NOMID
     Enable binary compatibility with NetBSD 0.8 ZMAGIC format. On i386 this
     also enables binary compatibility with 386BSD and BSDI's QMAGIC, NMAGIC,
     and OMAGIC a.out formats.
