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.

386710e347 "i386" is probably a better long name for the i386 platform, as

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.

7593f63c91 Connect the ia64 versions of the release documentation to the RELNOTESng 
build.

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.

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).

4bd2a978f6 Restructure the Sparc installation instructions to 
- get rid of the 4th level headings
- seperate the actions required to prepare the installation (getting
  the CD, settings up the various daemons, ...) from the actual
  installation

Translation teams: This patch moves some paragraphs around and changes
a lot of <sectX> headers, but does not contain any content changes in
the strict sense of the word (i.e. I did not rewrite paragraphs yet).
There were no changes to the indentation, either.

f6b1b0cc33 If NO_LANGCODE_IN_DESTDIR is defined, don't put the language code in 
DESTDIR.  This avoids redundant information in the path when DOCDIR
points to some directory that already implies (or specifies) a certain
language.  This is the case with the web site, where the release notes
are already installed under a language-specific directory.  This
behavior is not being made mandatory because it might still be useful
to install all the translations in one directory, such as during
testing, or in a hypothetical release notes archive.  Furthermore, it
is not being made the default because that breaks consistency with
stuff under doc/.
