I find the current one somewhat confusing. Here's my thoughts after a quick perusal: - Put the 3.x-to-4.x instructions at the top of the file. This is what most people will be interested in. - Do I need to build a new kernel first or not? One of the breakage notices implies this, but the 3.x-to-4.x instructions at the end of the file have a buildworld before a kernel build. If I don't need to build a new kernel first I think it should say something like "you don't need to build a new kernel first despite what breakage 19990929 says". - Why do I need to do 'make -DNOINFO installworld' followed immediately by 'make installworld'? - The wd to ad device name switch should be emphasized.
