NOTE: If you read no other documentation before installing a given
version of FreeBSD, you should at least by all means *READ THE ERRATA*
for that release so that you don't stumble over problems which have
already been found and fixed. The ERRATA.TXT file accompanying your
release (it should be right next to this file) is obviously already
out of date by definition, but other copies are kept updated on the

other copies of the errata are located at:

accidental loss of data, it's still more than possible to WIPE OUT
