15d5513f53SWarner Losh	You should install new bootblocks now.  The ELF kernel will
16e363c17bSWarner Losh	become default soon.  In addition, you'll need to upgrade
17e363c17bSWarner Losh	your userland programs to ELF before then as well.  Use
18e363c17bSWarner Losh	make aout-to-elf to upgrade your userland programs (old
19e363c17bSWarner Losh	a.out programs in, for example, /usr/local/bin will
20e363c17bSWarner Losh	continue to work, even after the upgrade).  See src/Makefile
21e363c17bSWarner Losh	for more details.

24ab308df6SWarner Losh	New groups from 19981201 commented out of mtree, so they
