+
+This file contains important information on the NetBSD 1.6 release that
+did not make it into the main documentation.
+
+[all]
+       The Kerberos ticket forwarding programs kf(1) and kfd(8) have
+       some security issues, and should be disabled to ensure that
+       they can not be used, even though the server (kfd(8)) is not
+       enabled by default.
+
+       They can be disabled with:
+               chmod 0 /usr/bin/kf /usr/libexec/kfd
+
+[amiga]
+       The loadbsd program does not yet have the ability to load
+       ELF kernels (the new executable format for NetBSD 1.6), so
+       the only way to boot NetBSD is using the bootblock method.
+       Because some Amigas are unable to boot from bootblocks,
+       there is an experimental program provided to emulate booting
+       from the bootblocks.  The program is runbootblock, which
+       will be found in the amiga/installation/misc directory.
+
+[atari]
+       The xbase.tgz set that was available before "Sep 16 13:57"
+       was a "shared" copy with other m68k ports.  However, as the
+       atari currently requires its own copy of this set this was
+       corrected on that time.
+
+       The sum entries for the correct set are:
+           BSDSUM    29517 2522 xbase.tgz
+           CKSUM     4259307667 2581755 xbase.tgz
+           MD5       MD5 (xbase.tgz) = 7b65569fd7143ff1c8baf86a19c04f61
+           SYSVSUM   15857 5043 xbase.tgz
+
+[m68k MACHINE_ARCH, including: amiga, atari, mac68k, x68k]
+       A problem with the floating point emulator used by certain
+       Motorola 680x0-based systems can cause erratic faults in
+       applications that use floating point calculations. 
+       Systems using the 68020 or 68030 microprocessor but lacking
+       a 68881 or 68882 floating point processor may be vulnerable
+       to the flaw.
+       This issue may affect both installation and normal operation.
