   2.  The i386 GENERICAHA kernel config file now has PCI support,
   specifically for the NCR chip.

That is misleading.  The PCI autoconfiguration support is generic.
However, there is currently only one PCI device driver, for the NCR
53c8XX chips.

   3.  The way of specifying the configuration in the i386 kernel config
   file has changed as well - it's now

   config	netbsd swap generic
   [and: options GENERIC]

   rather than

   config	netbsd root on wd0 swap on wd0 and sd0

The old method continues to work fine.  `swap generic' is just the
preferred way of dealing with generic boot floppies.
