MFR50: Synchronize the content of the errata file with RELENG_5_0.
article.sgml 1.9.2.4 At this point, the errata file on HEAD should contain the same content as for RELENG_5_0, but be compatible with the SGML entities and other infrastructure on HEAD. We can now add content here and it will appear as post-release errata.

+ <para>The &man.geom.4;-based disk partitioning code in the kernel
+ will not allow an open partition to be overwritten. This
+ usually prevents the use of <command>disklabel -B</command> to
+ update the boot blocks on a disk because the
+ <literal>a</literal> partition overlaps the space where the boot
+ blocks are stored. A suggested workaround is to boot from an
+ alternate disk, a CDROM, or a fixit floppy.</para>
+
+ <para>When using disk media with sector sizes larger than 512
+ bytes (for instance, &man.gbde.4; encrypted disks), the
+ &man.dump.8; program fails to respect the larger sector size and
+ cannot dump the partition. One possible workaround is to copy
+ the entire file system in raw format and dump the copy. It is,
+ for instance, possible to dump a file system stored in a regular
+ file:</para>
+
+ <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>dd if=/dev/ad0s1d.bde of=/junk/ad0.dd bs=1m</userinput>
+&prompt.root; <userinput>dump 0f - /junk/ad0.dd | ...</userinput></screen>
+
+ <para>A simpler workaround is to use &man.tar.1; or &man.cpio.1;
+ to make backup copies.</para>
+
+ <para>Hangs have been reported during &os; 5.0 snapshot
+ installations when installing to &man.mly.4;-supported RAID
+ arrays, in hardware configurations that appear to work fine
+ under &os; 4.7-RELEASE.</para>
+
+ <para>NETNCP and nwfs appear to be as-yet unadapted for KSE, and
+ hence not working.</para>
+
+ <para>During installation, the &man.iir.4; controller appears to
+ probe correctly, but finds no disk devices.</para>
+
+ <para>&man.truss.1; appears to contain a race condition during the
+ start-up of debugging, which can result in &man.truss.1; failing
+ to attach to the process before it exists. The symptom is that
+ &man.truss.1; reports that it cannot open the &man.procfs.5;
+ node supporting the process being debugged. A bug also appears
+ to exist wherein &man.truss.1; will hang if &man.execve.2;
+ returns <literal>ENOENT</literal> A further race appears to
+ exist in which &man.truss.1; will return <errorname>PIOCWAIT:
+ Input/output error</errorname> occasionally on startup. The fix
+ for this sufficiently changes process execution handling that it
+ has been deferred until after 5.0.</para>
+
+ <para>Some bugs have been reported in &man.sysinstall.8; disk
+ partitioning. One observed problem on the i386 is that
+ &man.sysinstall.8; cannot recalculate the free space left on a
+ disk after changing the type of an FDISK-type partition.</para>
+
+ <para>In some case, documentation (such as the FAQ or Handbook)
+ has not been updated to take into account &os; &release.current;
+ features. Examples of areas where documentation is still
+ needed include &man.gbde.8; and the new <quote>fast
+ IPsec</quote> implementation.</para>
