It + introduces some changes: the devices created from MSDOS extended + partition entries (EBR) can be named differently than with GEOM_MBR + and are now symlinks to devices with offset-based names, and kernel + dumps are now not allowed to be written to devices whose partition + types indicate they are meant to be used for file systems. + 20090319: The uscanner(4) driver has been removed from the kernel.
