A bug affecting new installations of 1.3.75/76 has been found which will 
result in the creation of incorrect mountpoints in the freelance 
root.afs volume for the default cell.

If "fs \\afs\all\<cellname>" lists a volume name of "root" instead of 
"root.cell", you have been affected by the bug.  To correct the 
problem, execute the following commands to create the proper mountpoints:

   fs rmmount \\afs\all\<cellname>
   fs rmmount \\afs\all\.<cellname>

   fs mkmount \\afs\all\<cellname> root.cell <cellname>
   fs mkmount \\afs\all\.<cellname> root.cell <cellname> -rw

This bug will be corrected in a forthcoming 1.3.77 release.  There are 
no differences between 1.3.76 and and 1.3.77 other then a correction to 
this problem.  It only affects new installations.  Once you are bitten 
by the bug you must generate the proper mountpoints using the commands 
listed above regardless of whether or not you upgrade.  Therefore, an 
upgrade is not required.
