150 <para>&man.ipfw.4; should work correctly on strict-alignment
151 64-bit architectures such as alpha and sparc64.</para>
152
153 <para>The release notes should have stated that the
154 <filename>libthr</filename> library is built by default for the
155 i386 platform.</para>
156
157 <para>&os; &release.prev; includes some new boot loader scripts
158 designed to make booting &os; with different options easier.
159 This may help diagnose bootstrapping problems. These scripts
160 build on the existing Forth-based boot loader scripts (thus,
161 <filename>/boot/loader.conf</filename> and other existing loader
162 configuration files still apply). They are only installed by
163 default for new binary installs on i386 machines. The new
164 scripts present a boot-time menu that controls how &os; is
165 booted, and include options to turn off ACPI, a <quote>safe
166 mode</quote> boot, single-user booting, and verbose booting.
167 <quote>Safe mode</quote> booting can be particularly useful when
168 compatibility with a system's hardware is uncertain, and sets
169 the following kernel tunable variables:</para>
170
171 <programlisting>hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 # disable ACPI (i386 only)
172hw.ata.ata_dma=0 # disable IDE DMA
173hw.ata.atapi_dma=0 # disable ATAPI/IDE DMA
174hw.ata.wc=0 # disable IDE disk write cache
175hw.eisa_slots=0 # disable probing for EISA devices</programlisting>
176
177 <para>For new installs on i386 architecture machines,
178 &man.sysinstall.8; will try to determine if ACPI was disabled
179 via the new boot loader scripts mentioned above, and if so,
180 ask if this change should be made permanent.</para>
181
182 <para>The release notes should have mentioned that work on the
183 following features was sponsored by the Defense Advanced
184 Research Projects Agency (DARPA): OpenPAM, NSS support, PAE
185 support, various MAC framework updates, the GEOM disk geometry
186 system.</para>
