- The -a flag now works just as it does in SunOS: '-a' is actually
  handled like a wildcard for all interfaces. 'ifconfig -a' displays
  the status of all interfaces, 'ifconfig -a netmask 0xffffff00' sets
  the netmask of all interfaces, and so forth. I don't know if many
  people really need to be able to set the netmasks of all interfaces
  at once, but the SunOS ifconfig seems to allow this, so there you
  have it.

- An 'ether_status' function has been added to display the ethernet
  address of all ethernet interfaces. Again, as in SunOS, you must
  be root in order for this to work. The ethernet address is read
  from /dev/kmem using kvm_open() and kvm_read(), much in the same
  was as it's done with netstat. If you choose to install ifconfig
  set-gid kmem then normal users will be able to see the ethernet
  address as well, though this may not be desireable. This feature
  requires a small change to the ifconfig Makefile: you need to link
  with -lkvm in order to use the kvm_*() functions.

This install procedure is ALPHA code, and        `--{__________)
may very possibly *DESTROY* the contents of your
ENTIRE DISK!  Please do not proceed with this installation
unless you've adequately backed up your data first!

If any errors occur during this installation, you can see them
by toggling over to the alternate screen - type ALT-F2 to switch
over, ALT-F1 to switch back to the install screen.  The debugging
output on the second screen may be very valuable to us in understanding
your bug report, so please be sure to take note of it when reporting
any failures in the installation!  Thanks!

Menus and scrolling output windows may be traversed with the arrow
and Page Up/Page Down keys.  To suspend the installation at any point,
hit ESC twice.  Hitting TAB will move the focus to different controls.
If you've ever dealt with a DOS installation, you'll know how to deal
with this.

For a more complete description of what's new in this release, please
see the release notes.

For more documentation on this system, it is recommended that you purchase
the 4.4BSD Document Set from O'Reilly Associates and the USENIX Association.
ISBN 1-56592-082-1  We have no connection with O'Reilly, we're just
satisfied customers!

Have fun, and please let us know of any problems you encounter with
this release!

Bug reports should be sent using the `send-pr' utility, if you

Please have patience if your questions are not answered right away -
this is an especially busy time for us, and our volunteer resources
are often strained to the limit (if not somewhat past!).

Thanks!
