Some notes:
Re [633]: I've verified that "weather" does not work for NetBSD
currently (it complains that it can't contact the kdc, "retry count
exceeded"), but I couldn't find the source to rebuild it.
[570] and [571] can probably be ignored, since efoo has done a 1.1
installation since then.
[602] was resolved offline. Removing ed4 (port 0x300 irq 11) is an
item for the next patch release; I will probably replace it with a
line designed to find 3c503 devices at port 0x300.
The problem described in [703] looks a lot like a reactivate problem
which cropped up in the 1.0A installation for a little while. The
current reactivate code for NetBSD involves:
rm -rf /tmp/*
rm -rf /tmp/.??*
neither of which will remove a tmp symlink. The problem which cropped
up for a while during the 1.0A installation was that the next fragment
of code, which does a "rm -rf /tmp/", was being used.
[714] and [696] relate to sendmail and bad144, respectively; I'm going
to assume that jhawk is more qualified to answer those than I am.
(That wouldn't ordinarily be an excuse except that I want to work on
the patch release methodology rather than learning about sendmail and
bad144 right now, and I also need to test my upgrade documentation.)
