3bba46e45a GEOMification of CCD. 
You need your kernel and ccdconfig(8) to be in sync, particularly if your
source tree is on a ccd device.

a0a7c268e0 Document a workaround for getting past the groff infinite loop problem 
when your userland is older tahn your kernel and Makefile.inc1 therefore
thinks that you don't need to rebuild groff, when in fact you do.  This
workaround is to set OSRELDATE to 500110 before building, but only if you
have a new enough Makefile.inc1.

I've confirmed this on my laptop, which was suffering from this problem.
Since it only hits power users, we'll naively assume that such users are
smart enough to read UPDATING.

f30c2be11f Per previous announcement, remove the old version of the rc system. 
All functionality from the previous system has been preserved, and
users should still customize their system boot with the familiar
methods, rc.conf, rc.conf.local, rc.firewall, sysctl.conf, etc.

Users who have customized versions of scripts that have been removed
should take great care when upgrading, since the compatibility code
that used those old scripts has also been removed.

ed7e384ac9 Note: 5.0 requires more space. If you don't have 30MB free on /, then 
you are going to get hurt badly if you try to do an update from
sources.  Make a note of this.  While 'experts' could install it in
less space, I think 30MB is a good number.

efbb8c34b9 A simple make world is too dangerous for most upgrades. Instead, copy 
the updating from stable section, and remove the kludge-o-rounds that
are in there.

Sometimes make world is safe, sometimes not.  Let's document the safe
way to deal.

1e997a7069 Note GEOM removal of the compatibility slice, and what you, the

Also, greatly expand the the upgrading from -stable part of this file.
It appears that you need new boot blocks to ensure that the right
kernel is booted single user.
