Hummm...looking at the /usr/src/UPDATEING file..here it is:
19981224:
The old wcd driver has been deleted from the kernel. The
driver that replaces it is named acd. You'll need to change
this in your configuration files.
Failure to do this will result in "ATAPI CD-ROMs not
configured" at boot time.
The floppy tape driver (ft) has been removed from the kernel,
with no replacement driver.
