It may help. It suggests a reboot? Those who wish to retain access to the older a.out dynamic executables should be sure and install the compat22 distribution. * Notice that the a.out libraries won't be accessible until the system is rebooted, which may cause trouble with certain a.out packages.* Also, do not use install disks or sysinstall from previous versions, as version 3.1 introduced a new bootstrapping procedure, requiring new boot blocks to be installed (because of elf kernels), and version 3.2 has further modifications to the bootstrapping procedure.
