System: NetBSD rhiannon.scsn.net 1.1B NetBSD 1.1B (RHIANNON) #27: Sat Apr 27 17:48:59 EDT 1996 dmaddox@rhiannon.scsn.net:/usr/src/sys/arch/amiga/compile/RHIANNON amiga
Architecture: amiga

>Description:

	The GENERIC configuration says that it contains all possible 
options, but 'options INSECURE' is not listed.  This is a fairly serious 
problem because if one tries to load an lkm (for example, the amiga audio 
driver lkm) on a running system using a kernel compiled without 'options 
INSECURE', it will fail in a way that is totally inexplicable if you are 
not aware of this option's existence and purpose.

>How-To-Repeat:

	N/A

>Fix:
	The following patch will at least serve to document the existence 
of the 'INSECURE' option:

*** GENERIC.orig	Sun Apr 28 14:53:21 1996
