9449f0dc90 Add FAQ entries on dealing with ACPI issues and enabling the ISA drivers 
that were recently disabled.
There still are several references to the now-gone userconfig; these need to
be fixed before 5.0-RELEASE.

d4cd548bb1 Update sparc64 installation instructions. Because sysinstall now 
works on sparc64, this document can now use (almost) the same
procedures as i386, et al.  CDROM booting instructions are cut-and-pasted
from the older sparc64/install.sgml file, which is now unlinked from
the document build.

This document is a long ways from perfect, but it's better than shipping
instructions for an installation procedure that doesn't apply anymore.

While here, add some SGML comments to help others navigate the sources.

6f3a9df298 Try to make this document reflect reality better: 
o All of the Q&A entries in this section were i386-specific, so make
these conditional on building for that platform.  If
non-i386-platforms need similar Q&A lists, they can add their own to
this file.

o Coalesce the two Q&A sections into one.

o Correct some device names (wd(4) devices have not existed for quite
some time).

o Get rid of a number of obsolete entries (suggested by jhb).

d0b8716702 Try to make some sense out of the mess that used to be INSTALL.TXT. 
1.  Bring floppies.sgml section in-line into install.sgml, where it
makes more sense.

2.  Slightly reorganize some sections of Installation section and
do some wordsmithing.

3.  Update distribution layout to reflect RELNOTESng and new compat
distributions.

4.  Update upgrade file list from 4-STABLE.

5.  It's been a long time since 2.2.X; get rid of instructions dealing
with "new" handling of compatability slices and fix up other references
in the text.

6.  Hunt down and kill emoticons with extreme prejudice.  Try to
tone down the use of exclamation points.

7.  Cross-reference new and improved Installation chapter in
Handbook.

8.  Add a proper abstract for this document.
