 ### pkgsrc packages
 
 We offer over 8000 pre-built [pkgsrc](http://www.pkgsrc.org) packages for this release.   The [pkg_radd(1)](http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man?command=pkg_radd&section=ANY) utility may be used to download pre-built binary packages.  The path can be overridden by setting BINPKG_SITES in `/etc/settings.conf`.

 ## DragonFly 2.6.x Special Installation and Upgrade Notes
 
-**VirtualBox and VMWare users** - Unless your virtual hard disk is 50G or larger, we recommend
+**2.6.3** - 2.6.3 is a stabilization and pkgsrc compatibility pass.  It fixes a serious kernel crash
+related to sendfile() operation and adjusts the extattr file ABI so libarchive compiles again.
+
+**2.6.2** - Users running a late 2.5 or the 2.6.1 release are urged to upgrade to 2.6.2 or later as soon as
+possible.  2.6.2 fixes a serious HAMMER filesystem corruption bug related to reblocking full or
+nearly full HAMMER filesystems.
+
+**VirtualBox, Virtual PC, and VMWare users** - Unless your virtual hard disk is 50G or larger, we recommend
 doing a UFS install and not the default HAMMER install.  We also recommend installing from the CD ISO
 and not the DVD ISO.
 
+**Virtual PC users** - Virtual PC does not supply serial numbers for the virtual disks.  The system may need to be manually directed in the boot loader if the disk identifier changes.  (Hit ? in the boot loader for a list of available volumes.)
+
 **Binary packages issue** - Due to bugs in pkgsrc-2009Q4 we had to use pkgsrc-current for the x86_64 img/iso
-and both GUI images.  The i386 img/iso uses pkgsrc-2009Q4.  The binary packages on avalon are thus a bit
-out of date for the x86_64 and GUI images.

+to pkgsrc-2010Q1 for 2.6.3.
 
 **disklabel64 issue** - The installer may fail to install a 64-bit disklabel due to a snooping
 bug in the kernel if a 32-bit disklabel was previously present on the drive.  If you get this
