63cb445e51 A simple make world is too dangerous for most upgrades. Instead, copy
the updating from stable section, and remove the kludge-o-rounds that
are in there.

Sometimes make world is safe, sometimes not.  Let's document the safe
way to deal.

fc8c157fad Note GEOM removal of the compatibility slice, and what you, the
upgrader needs to do about it.

Also, greatly expand the the upgrading from -stable part of this file.
It appears that you need new boot blocks to ensure that the right
kernel is booted single user.

33c1de7d1f Ignore -C, -p, and -S options of install(1) when used with the -d
