1. On disc1, print/acroread4 for alpha and print/acroread5 for i386
replace print/acroread, which was not compatible with the linux_base
that we ship by default. Remove print/acroread4 from disc3 as
redundant.
2. www/linux-netscape47-* were removed due to security holes;
substitute www/netscape48-* on disc1.
3. Add www/opera to disc1.

A useless entry was removed, as per its comment.
Fixed a number of typos and grammos.
Old (pre-4.6) security advisories were marked as historic. Hyperlinks
were removed from these release notes to work around a buglet in
footnote numbering for printed output. These changes eliminated three
pages of only marginally-useful utility.
Clarify a note on procfs(5) mounts.
The games/freebsd-games port now exists, so refer to it when talking

lukemftpd was deactivated, so remove its release note.
Add text on the demise of pkg_version -c.

more manageable.
- Add some helper variables (CVS_{SRC,DOC,PORTS}ARGS) to be used when
using CVS to checkout files. We stick release tags in these helper
variables if they are defined and then use only one cvs command instead
of two cvs commands with an .ifdef to choose between them.
- rm the old src/doc/ports directories as separate commands from the
CVS comands so that the rm commands don't need to be duplicated.
- Simplify the DOMINIMALDOCPORTS case by overriding RELEASEPORTSMODULE to
be ${MINIMALDOCPORTS} thus removing yet another nearly-duplicate cvs
command in an .ifdef.
- Add support for grabbing src/ and doc/ from external directories
specified via EXTSRCDIR and EXTDOCDIR instead of from CVS. The same
is not done for ports/ quite yet as the DOMINIMALDOCPORTS case is a
bit tricky.
The rerelease target scripts have not been changed to use the helper
variables yet, so there is still some room for improvement.

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.
we created for the boot floppy, or 2) construct an EFI partition

CD image that loads a memory disk and starts sysinstall, the second
approach creates a generic bootable CD.

This will give ia64 folks the chance to help flesh these out, and
also ensure that (when the time comes) ia64 releases with documentation
won't fall over due to missing RELNOTESng files.
This involves moving all networking drivers to floppy 2, all RAID
nfsclient && cd9660 to floppy 3 (and adding ispfw).
COMPAT_FREEBSD4 had to come back, maxusers is down to 2.
AHC is out until somebody can make it a module for alpha.
TurboLaser is out because it rarely has a floppy and probably
no longer works *anyway*.
There's probably some cleanup that can be done because I was told
that things in drivers.conf don't have to be removed via dokern.sh,
but because I formally tested the release build with this version
and don't want to spend another half day on it, it's going in.
I'm sure we'll have to do some further changes prior to release.
NB: Not tested end to end yet because I've been told that sysinstall
doesn't yet work.
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).
if it's not defined as efi. This makes sure we create a proper
MFS root filesystem and still allow the boot disk to be EFI
based.
At this time EFI auto boot works and we're properly loading the
MFS root file system. Time to create drivers.conf and get this
show on the road!
o ia64: Set DOFS_SH to point to an alternate version.
o ia64: Lower BIGBOOTSIZE from 120M (LS-120) to ~5M.
o ia64: Set BIGBOOTLABEL to efi so that we can check for it
in the alternate doFS.sh script. If the label is not efi, we
can invoke the generic doFS.sh.
Strip ${RD}/mfsfd/stand/etc/defaults/rc.conf.
Don't copy loader.help to ${RD}/mfsfd/boot, it serves no useful purpose.
Removed the now no-op commands to copy ${RD}/trees/base/dev bits to
${RD}/mfsfd/dev, now that DEVFS is the default.
Removed UFS_ACL, PSEUDOFS, and COMPAT_FREEBSD4 options from the BOOTMFS
kernel.
Moved miibus network module to the drivers floppy.
isp(4) and mpt(4) now have corresponding modules, move them to the third
floppy as well.

the loader in an EFI partition. This automaticly means we need the
kernel there as well.
In order to avoid having to worry about a geometry as much as
possible, we partition the disk with GPT.
With this, auto-boot works, but we have a problem mounting the

in no way final. A typical ia64 wart is that there are no boot blocks.
Instead, we need to create disks with EFI partitions if we want auto
boot to work. All this functionality is not present yet.

think this list of the bare minimal ports required should maybe be
moved to textproc/docproj/Makefile, so that when we add a new
dependency there, we can just add it to a required or optional list,
rather than add it there and forget about it here. ;)

substitute normal DocBook. Pure coincidence that this thing built.
While here, pull in some more entities so that we can build in the
RELNOTESng environment.
o mount (and unmount) devfs in the chroot'd filesystem
o handle umounting devfs in case of a keyboard interrupt
o remove MAKEDEV from the fixit floppy so things fit again (mount_devfs was
added in a separate commit)
o explicitly remove mfsroot.gz and loader.conf when building the cd-rom area
as otherwice cp -Rp aborts when a previous run left identical files around
o increase the number of inodes on the drivers floppy; moving drivers from
the kernel there (to shrink it's size) caused things to overflow
o while we're increasing the driver's floppy inode config, separate out all
parameters from the boot floppy

if things fail to fit again.

under way to move the remnants of the a.out toolchain to ports. As the
comment in src/Makefile said, this stuff is deprecated and one should not
expect this to remain beyond 4.0-REL. It has already lasted WAY beyond
that.
Notable exceptions:
gcc - I have not touched the a.out generation stuff there.
ldd/ldconfig - still have some code to interface with a.out rtld.
old as/ld/etc - I have not removed these yet, pending their move to ports.
some includes - necessary for ldd/ldconfig for now.

into the install kernel. Unfortunately pcn(4) also needs mii(4) so that
would also have to added to install kernel, which will bloat it up so that it
doesn't fit on the floppy any more. Turns out we grew a lnc(4) module since
I last looked. So handle it as a kld loadable module during install rather
than have it statically compiled into the kernel.
lnc(4) will attach to AMD PCnet/FAST NICs if pcn(4) does not attach.
I.e. pcn(4) gets first chance. There is a problem however in that pcn(4)
was moved out of the install kernel so that the module would be used.
This however causes bad installs if one has an AMD PCnet/FAST NIC.
