+    <title>Installation Problems</title>
+    <p>The hardware watchdog timer which is controlled by the
+      <c>heart</c> port program requires the <c>FORCEvme</c> package,
+      which contains the VME bus driver, to be installed. This driver,
+      however, might clash with the Sun <c>mcp</c> driver and cause
+      the system to completely refuse to boot. To cure this problem,
+      the following lines should be added to <c>/etc/system</c>:
+      </p>
+    <list type="bulleted">
+      <item><c>exclude: drv/mcp</c></item>
+      <item><c>exclude: drv/mcpzsa</c></item>
+      <item><c>exclude: drv/mcpp</c></item>
+    </list>
+    <warning>
+      <p>It is recommended that these lines be added to avoid the
+        clash described, which may make it completely impossible to boot
+        the system.</p>
