    I'd just like to add something like this before Peter's check that runs sh:

        @OSRELDATE=`sysctl -n kern.osreldate`; \
        if [ $$OSRELDATE -lt 500043 ]; then \
            echo "The kernel you are running does not support the executables you are about to install!"; \
            echo "You need to install a new kernel and reboot before doing an installworld."; \
            echo "If you have already installed a new kernel, perhaps your loader configuration"; \
            echo "needs to be updated to reflect the fact that kernels are now installed below"; \
            echo "the /boot directory (not in the root directory."; \
            exit 1; \
        fi

    Actually I'm /only/ in the FreeBSD business. I've been concentrating on getting a
    FreeBSD based product ready for release. I'm at the second prototype stage and
    things are looking promising.

    The SCO vs IBM case is a reminder of why I chose *BSD in the first place. I'm a
    bit embarrassed that I haven't contributed more in the last year or so. At some
    point I'll need to upgrade the product to 5.X, so I need to start working in that
    direction. While I'm getting a current machine up and running I'd like to sort out
    the uprade issues while I'm still prepared to trash the install.

    Peter's grim reaper email is a regular reminder. I think I'm up to number 11. Hehehehe.
