I've had a couple of questions about the pre-announcement of
changes  to the pmax port.  Someone asked if that meant the 1.3.1
media would be changing again. The answer is "no".

Due to a script bug, the "final" 1.3.1 instal media included two
binaries which were linked shared, and so dont' work on the install
media. I fixed that by putting the correct 1.3.1 binaries on the
diskimage (diskimage.gz and diskimage.tgz) media.  Since 1.3.1 is
frozen, those will not be changing.

The more recent changes to NetBSD-current are completely separate.
Those are adding new features (reworked boot-time autoconfiguration
code, cleaner TurboChannel support, and soon, thanks to work by
Michael Hitch, Jason Thorpe, Tohru Nisimura, and myself) using the MI
scsi drivers, at least on TurboChannel machines.

These are new features.  Patch releases (like 1.3.1) don't include
major new functionality; they're supposed to be stable. So these
changes won't appear in an official release until the next full
release (Netbsd 1.4, or 2.0) --- unless there's a really compelling
reason to include them in a future patch release like 1.3.2.
