b6926c7122 Remove references to the now-deleted installation notes and add a
pointer to the installation chapter of the Handbook (it might be a
good idea to sprinkle a few more through this article).

De-emphasize the floppy disk part of installation media; it's
generally believed that most users install from CDROM or DVD
nowadays.

Use &arch.* entities where appropriate.

263d5eee66 Fix the order in which we build subdirectories in a "make all" from the
top-level release/doc directory.  We were building in share/sgml first,
which caused us to autogenerate hardware notes entities in the wrong
format (we want to build these via ${RELNOTES_LANG}/hardware/Makefile,
in order to get the HWNOTES_MI variable).

92e476c99f Remove the installation notes, which have not truly been maintained
for quite some time.  All relevant content has been moved to the
installation chapter of the FreeBSD Handbook, which will be the
single source of FreeBSD installation instructions.

In addition to removing redundancy, this change also removes the last
of the machine-dependent documents in the release documentation
set (the release notes and hardware notes were unified to produce
machine-independent documents).

2bc2025c44 Add a new rc.conf variable, sendmail_rebuild_aliases, which tells
/etc/rc.d/sendmail whether or not to run newaliases if the database
is missing or the aliases text file is newer than aliases.db.

In my opinion, the aliases file should never be automatically rebuilt.
The current text form could represent a work in progress.  Therefore,
in FreeBSD 7.0, this new option will default to "NO".  When this rc.d
change is MFC'ed, it will need to remain "YES" to maintain backward
compatibility.

083c792063 Add a few sentences about updating. Some older text on this subject
went away around the time of 5.0, when doing binary upgrades from
within sysinstall (at least from 4.X) was deemed hazardous due to the
huge differences between these two major versions.

It's much less risky now, and it's also high time that we mentioned
freebsd-update(8) too.

0419f369b5 Switch to unified MI hardware notes. The hardware notes are
now contained entirely in a single DocBook article, which has
information pertinent to all architectures.  This will improve
the maintainability of the hardware notes going forward by
reducing complexity of the build process, improving the visibiilty
of the architecture-specific text, and removing the need to generate
an extra version of the document for every architecture.

Remove all of the MD hardware notes stuff; all relevant content
has been folded into hardware/article.sgml.

aebd313860 Add support for auto-generating hardware notes entries in a
manner consistent with the new MI-style hardware notes document.

man2hwnotes.pl now defaults to generating entities for the MI-style
hardware notes (i.e. hardware/article.sgml).  A new -c
option causes it to generate entities for the older MD-style
hardware notes (i.e. hardware/common/dev.sgml).

The Makefile infrastructure supplies the -c option to man2hwnotes.pl
now unless the HWNOTES_MI Makefile variable is defined, so
compatiblity is preserved for hardware notes translations that
aren't converted to the new organization yet.  As translations
convert, they should define HWNOTES_MI in their hardware/Makefile.
When all the relevant translations catch up, the compatibility goop
in share/mk/doc.relnotes.mk and share/sgml/Makefile can be removed.

Thanks go to simon@ for help with the backwards compatiblity
mechanism.

a7b4eb4115 Reorganize the release notes to better support multiple architectures.
Rather than rendering a different version of the release notes for
every architecture, we now produce a single release notes document
that covers all architectures.

This change makes document maintenence easier (because there is no
longer a need to support each architecture specifically in the
src/release/doc/ and www/ build infrastructures).  It's also
easier to read because there is now exactly one release notes document,
and readers can see changes that affected various subsets of
architectures.

bad4d172b4 - Revert signedness type changes to "struct vmtotal"; by making
them unsigned I made the possible overflows hard to detect,
  and it only saved 1 bit which isn't principal, even less now
  that the underlying issue with the total of virtual memory has
  been fixed.  (For the record, it will overflow with >=2T of
  VM total, with 32-bit ints used to keep counters in pages.)

- While here, fix printing of other "struct vmtotal" members
  such as t_rq, t_dw, t_pw, and t_sw as they are also signed.
