+# $NetBSD: LAST_MINUTE,v 1.1.2.2 2002/09/23 07:47:08 lukem Exp $
+
+This file contains important information on the NetBSD 1.6 release that
+did not make it into the main documentation.
+
+[all]
+ The Kerberos ticket forwarding programs kf(1) and kfd(8) have
+ some security issues, and should be disabled to ensure that
+ they can not be used, even though the server (kfd(8)) is not
+ enabled by default.
+
+ They can be disabled with:
+ chmod 0 /usr/bin/kf /usr/libexec/kfd
+
+[amiga]
+ The loadbsd program does not yet have the ability to load
+ ELF kernels (the new executable format for NetBSD 1.6), so
+ the only way to boot NetBSD is using the bootblock method.
+ Because some Amigas are unable to boot from bootblocks,
+ there is an experimental program provided to emulate booting
+ from the bootblocks. The program is runbootblock, which
+ will be found in the amiga/installation/misc directory.
+
+[atari]
+ The xbase.tgz set that was available before "Sep 16 13:57"
+ was a "shared" copy with other m68k ports. However, as the
+ atari currently requires its own copy of this set this was
+ corrected on that time.
+
+ The sum entries for the correct set are:
+ BSDSUM 29517 2522 xbase.tgz
+ CKSUM 4259307667 2581755 xbase.tgz
+ MD5 MD5 (xbase.tgz) = 7b65569fd7143ff1c8baf86a19c04f61
+ SYSVSUM 15857 5043 xbase.tgz
+
+[m68k MACHINE_ARCH, including: amiga, atari, mac68k, x68k]
+ A problem with the floating point emulator used by certain
+ Motorola 680x0-based systems can cause erratic faults in
+ applications that use floating point calculations.
+ Systems using the 68020 or 68030 microprocessor but lacking
+ a 68881 or 68882 floating point processor may be vulnerable
+ to the flaw.
+ This issue may affect both installation and normal operation.
