    In a few days time the ad driver will be retired from FreeBSDs
    i386 architecture.

    Users, please:

     Update your kernel config file (see GENERIC)

     Update your /etc/fstab (use /dev/wd* instead of /dev/ad* or
      /dev/rad*

     Copy MAKEDEV from src/etc/MAKEDEV to /dev/MAKEDEV and make
     all the wd* disk devices you need for your system.

     Unfortunately current is broken right now, so I can't point
     you at a snapshot to reinstall from should you prefer that
     option, but I'm sure that current.freebsd.org will be
     able to deliver one RSN.

    PC98:

     I would like to discuss with the PC98 responsible commmitters
     what the prospects for wd vs ata in PC98 are, please get in
     touch with me.

    Alfred
