Could someone not have put a notice on the website, probably under the
'Newsflash' section?
Even something as simple as
10-Nov-97[1]
Pentium bug - We are aware of the F00F Pentium halting bug and are
working with Intel on a fix. When we have a fix ready for public
consumption it will be announced here, on the mailing list
announce@freebsd.org and to the Usenet newsgroup
comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.announce.
Your patience is appreciated.
[1] Or whatever date it was
