Sigh. Add note about the FILE FIASCO.

Also notes about FFS_ROOT and CD9660_ROOT and DEVFS cautions.

It is not a good time to live in -current.

The size of FILE was changed. This breaks upgrading. If
you must upgrade, be prepared for pain. It also breaks almost
all binaries that you've compiled on -current. You are warned
that before upgrading would be a good time to do a level 0
dump of your system. No, really, I mean it this time.
To get to the new system, you'll need to use the following
workaround. Hopefully this can be sorted out so that we
don't have to move this to the updating section.
To get around the installworld problem, do:
# cd /usr/src/usr.bin/sed
# make install
# cd /usr/src
# make installworld
If that doesn't work, then try:
# make -k installworld
# make installworld

DEVFS is now the default. If you use vinum, make sure that you
do not include devfs in your kernel as problems result.

FFS_ROOT and CD9660_ROOT have been removed or depricated.
Remove them from your config.
