(0) Changes from previous version (Jan/14)

 . There is mirroring support
 . ccdcontrol is renamed ccdconfig (back to original NetBSD name)
 . ccdconfig is now in /sbin (so you can call it from rc -- a patch to 
   rc is also included)

(1) Introduction

This is a port of NetBSD's ccd (concatenated disk) driver.  It is not
a complete work in any way, but seems to be working fairly ok here, so
we decided to make it available so that people can test it and even
fix some bugs. :)

[big snip]

(12) Where do I get new versions?

They will be made available as

ftp://forgery.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/ccd-<date>.tar.gz

so check this site regularly.

Satoshi
