configure FreeBSD so that various databases such as passwd and group can be
looked up using flat files, NIS, or Hesiod.
= Hesiod has been added to libc (see hesiod(3)).
= A library routine for parsing nsswitch.conf and invoking callback
functions as specified has been added to libc (see nsdispatch(3)).
= The following C library functions have been modified to use nsdispatch:
. getgrent, getgrnam, getgrgid
. getpwent, getpwnam, getpwuid
. getusershell
. getaddrinfo
. gethostbyname, gethostbyname2, gethostbyaddr
. getnetbyname, getnetbyaddr
. getipnodebyname, getipnodebyaddr, getnodebyname, getnodebyaddr
= host.conf has been removed from src/etc. rc.network has been modified
to warn that host.conf is no longer used at boot time. In addition, if
there is a host.conf but no nsswitch.conf, the latter is created at boot
time from the former.

Soundblaster-attached CDs, WD7000 etc for example. Try to get RELNOTES
for alpha to reflect reality a bit more.
When we use PC-Card as install media, it is a patch
to tell with beep about whether we were able to
recognize it well.

Beyond changes to the build system, this includes fixing up the sample
freebsd.mc configuration for changes in defaults and syntax, removing
outdated documentation, and updating the release notes.
Make sysinstall override this on install, so the effective behavioural
change for a newly installed system is null. Overall, this makes a system
with an empty /etc/rc.conf not run any network services, and makes the
FreeBSD-provided network services that are running visible in /etc/rc.conf
(instead of making people look through /etc/defaults/rc.conf to find the
things they need to disable to secure the system.)
