a1a3fef805 IPv6 support.
IPv6 configuration is only done by rtsol.  Does someone really
need manual configuration? :-)
You can specify IPv6 DNS server as well.
We have only one server ftp7.jp.freebsd.org that speaks IPv6
in this time.  ftp7.jp speaks IPv4 as well and also listed as
Japan #7.

ed81bb6c8c - Note that several features have been merged to 4.x.
- Add a note about supporting USB out of the box during installs and
  beyond.
- Add a note about the changes to the i386 bootstrap to work around the
  1024 cylinder problem.  Note that boot0 is now 2 sectors long.

92014d5193 Add support for the National Semiconductor DP83815 fast ethernet
controller chip. This chip is currently being used on the NetGear
FA312-TX adapter, which I guess is a replacement for the FA310-TX
(PNIC-based).

I added support for this chip by modifying the sis driver since
the SiS 900 and the NS DP83815 have almost the same programming
interface (the RX filter programming and PHY access methods are
different, but the general configuration, DMA scheme and register
layout are identical).

I would have had this done a lot sooner, but getting the damn MAC
address out of the EEPROM proved to be more complicated than expected.

a77776db47 remove rc and login.conf files prior to extraction of the new
rc and login.conf files from the /etc directory on the floppy.

This prevents the overwrite yes/no prompt from occuring in gzip.
(some PicoBSD disks use gzip and some use minigzip, so the gzip -f flag (force)
is not an option. minigzip has a different meaning for the -f flag.}

ceb4182d22 Document that alpha install CDs are now bootable. No need to muck
around with floppies. Also document (for lack of a more appropriate place/file)
the problems the installer has when other disks are present with a BSD
disk label on them. Please remove this warning when the problem is fixed.
