-Swap configuration

+"machine" directory/link in "/usr/include"
 .
 .Bl -tag -width 3n
 .It Description
-All swap partitions are now configured by the swapctl(8)
-program. The kernel no longer configures a default swap
-partition. Because of this, all swap partitions
-.No must be listed in Pa /etc/fstab .
-.Pp
-Many users of previous releases relied on the kernel
-configuring a "default" swap partition and did not list any swap space in
-.Pa /etc/fstab
-at all -- such users will now have no
-swap space configured unless they list swap partitions in
-.Pa /etc/fstab !
-.Pp
-Common symptoms of of this problem include machine crashes
-during builds, and similar memory intensive activities.
+Some architecture may fail to install the
+.Ic comp
+set because the
+.Dl /usr/include/machine
+directory changed to a symbolic link in NetBSD 1.4.
 .It Fix
-The most common position for a swap partition is the `b'
-partition of the drive the root file system is on. For
-diskless systems, check the new swapctl(8) manual for more
-detail on how this is done. Example fstab entries:
-.
-.Bl -column /dev/sd0bxx nonexx swapxx sw,priority=0xx
-.It /dev/sd0b Ta none Ta swap Ta sw,priority=0
-.It /dev/sd1b Ta none Ta swap Ta sw,priority=5
+If this happens, you can use the command
+.D1 # Ic rm -r /usr/include/machine
+to remove the old directory and it contents and reinstall the
+.Ic comp
+set.

-NFS now uses reserved ports
-.
-.Bl -tag -width 3n
-.It Description
-Earlier versions of
-.Nx
-did not use a reserved (\*(<= 1023)
-port when making NFS client requests. When acting as a server
-NetBSD now requires reserved ports by default.
 .Pp
-Old clients mounting a new server will receive a 'permission
-denied' response when the directory is accessed. New clients
-should work fine with old servers.
-.It Fix
-Add '-P' to the mount options in the old client's
-.Pa /etc/fstab ,
-or (less preferred), add
-.Li \&-noresvport,noresvmnt
-to the options on the new server's
-.Pa /etc/exports .

-NFS daemons and other programs in /sbin moved
-.
-.Bl -tag -width 3n
-.It Description
-The NFS daemons (nfsd, nfsiod, mountd) have been moved from
-the
-.Pa /sbin
-to the
-.Pa /usr/sbin directory .
-When new binaries are
-loaded over old ones during upgrade, most programs get
-overlaid and replaced, but unless these binaries are
-explicitly removed they will not disappear. The installation
-subsystems on some
-.Nx
-architectures will not properly
-remove these binaries.
-.Pp
-Due to changes in the NFS subsystem, the old NFS daemon
-binaries will not work correctly, and will cause serious
-problems. Unfortunately, the default startup script
-.Pq Pa /etc/rc
-will run the old binaries in
-.Pa /sbin
-if they are present instead of the new ones in
-.Pa /usr/sbin .
-.Pp
-Some other programs (dumpfs, dumplfs and quotacheck) have also
-been moved from
-.Pa /sbin
-to
-.Pa /usr/sbin ,
-and old versions may be
-left behind by accident. They, too, may cause difficulties.
-.It Fix
-Remove the old daemon binaries
-.Pp Pa (/sbin/nfsiod ,
-.Pa /sbin/nfsd ,
-.Pa /sbin/mountd ,
-.Pq etc.
-after your upgrade has finished. You may
-wish to do an 
-.D1 Ic "ls -lt /sbin | more
-to help determine which
-binaries were not replaced/removed during your upgrade.
