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.
descriptors that have the close-on-exec flag set, as that will have no
effect anyway and might screw something else up if the file descriptor
happens to be shared with another process.

such packets and does the right thing
o track the number of active vlans on an interface; this lets lots of places
only do vlan-specific processing when needed

o track bpf changes
o eliminate the use of M_PROTO1 for communicating to drivers about tagged
packets
o eliminate the use of IFF_LINK0 for drivers communicating to the vlan code
that they support h/w tagging; replaced by explicit interface capabilities

now expected at the front of the packet a la ether_input

architecture, mainly to avoid getting a SIGFPE signal sent
when calling strtod(3) with certain input.
The SIGFPE has been sent because the code was not aware that
a Gradual Underflow is handled in software via traps on the
Alpha architecture, but is not implemented in our Alpha kernel
layer.
With `Sudden_Underflow' defined, strtod(3) should not depend
on Gradual Underflow and adjust its calculations accordingly,
which means that other, more subtle errors than the sending of
SIGFPE could be solved by this.

caused by dynamic PAM modules that call openlog(3) and closelog(3),
e.g. ports/security/pam_pwdfile.
What happened here is that the module first registered its "ident"
with openlog(3), then PAM library unloaded module with dlclose(3),
and the next call to syslog(3) resulted in SIGSEGV.

the specified filename of the log to be rotated is in fact shell glob
pattern. In this case, all files matching this pattern will be rotated
using the same options. Useful in the case when there is no pre-defined
name for the logfiles (e.g. xtradius, samba etc).

o Remove the unwanted smartness in _longjmp() where it compares
the current ar.bspstore with the saved ar.bspstore and restores
ar.rnat based on it. This either avoids saving ar.rnat in the
jmp_buf or is the consequence of not saving ar.rnat. All this
complexity breaks libc_r where we use longjmp() to switch to
different threads and the current ar.bspstore has no relation
to the saved ar.bspstore. Thus: we save ar.rnat in setjmp()
and simply restore ar.bspstore and ar.rnat in longjmp().
This code needs a cleanup.
