Hello.. now that 3.0 is stable, what is in the -current branch?. and,
could i just cvsup form 3.0-current to whatever is in the new -current
branch, (note: i'm using an aout 3.0 kernel... cause i don't know how to
build and use an ELF one..) thanks.

from what i gather from other posts, it looks as if there will be no
new -currnet for about another month. in the meantime, enjoy
stability.

If you're using cvsup, just get the HEAD branch as usual. standard-supfile
will work with no changes. As for a.out kernels, are they even "supported"
anymore? I thought I saw KERNFORMAT get ripped out of make.conf. Please at
least make an attempt to keep up with freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers
if you're going to run -current.

By the way, you will have to install and use the new bootblock code before
an ELF kernel will work. Search the mailing list archives, it's been done
to death.

Of course they are. This was only to show that they are deprecated.

Notice, though: you slowly start losing features in a.out
kernels. Cf. /kernel.config.
