Well done with FreeBSD 6.0

I just upgraded from FreeBSD-5.4 to FreeBSD-6.0 stable.  It really went 
very smoothly.  Well done to all concerned.

A few things that could make it a little easier:

1.  I have a habit of doing the mergemaster stuff in a slightly 
different order.  Any chance of updating pwd_mkdb and cap_mkdb in 
FreeBSD-5.4 to the FreeBSD-6 version?

2.  In UPDATING, remind people to switch off the nvidia_load stuff in 
/boot/loader.conf (and any other exernally created modules), before 
first rebooting to the new kernel.

Best Stephen
