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

Users, please:

	Update your kernel config file (see GENERIC)

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

	Copy MAKEDEV from src/etc/MAKEDEV to /dev/MAKEDEV and make
	all the ad* 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.

Poul-Henning
