[1] Technically I should remove the &merged; entity here but the commit  has
a one-week MFC-after so I figure I can leave it this way for now.

b6926c7122 Remove references to the now-deleted installation notes and add a
pointer to the installation chapter of the Handbook (it might be a
good idea to sprinkle a few more through this article).

De-emphasize the floppy disk part of installation media; it's
generally believed that most users install from CDROM or DVD
nowadays.

Use &arch.* entities where appropriate.

Bump copyright date while here.

263d5eee66 Fix the order in which we build subdirectories in a "make all" from the
top-level release/doc directory.  We were building in share/sgml first,
which caused us to autogenerate hardware notes entities in the wrong
format (we want to build these via ${RELNOTES_LANG}/hardware/Makefile,
in order to get the HWNOTES_MI variable).

92e476c99f Remove the installation notes, which have not truly been maintained
for quite some time.  All relevant content has been moved to the
installation chapter of the FreeBSD Handbook, which will be the
single source of FreeBSD installation instructions.

In addition to removing redundancy, this change also removes the last
of the machine-dependent documents in the release documentation
set (the release notes and hardware notes were unified to produce
machine-independent documents).

2bc2025c44 Add a new rc.conf variable, sendmail_rebuild_aliases, which tells
/etc/rc.d/sendmail whether or not to run newaliases if the database
is missing or the aliases text file is newer than aliases.db.

In my opinion, the aliases file should never be automatically rebuilt.
The current text form could represent a work in progress.  Therefore,
in FreeBSD 7.0, this new option will default to "NO".  When this rc.d
change is MFC'ed, it will need to remain "YES" to maintain backward
compatibility.
