This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
better than using the "FAQ" alias as people have either ignored or
misused the alias in the past, and this gives the feeling that there's
an actual person behind it now (which will be a nice change in any case :-).
When I booted my system without the above option, the CDROM could not
respond in time to the bootup probe of devices and was "missed". When
I tried to access the device I got the "Device not configured" error
message. I rebuilt the kernel with the SCSI_DELAY option and the
problem went away.

NOT being maintained, that I vote for killing this document soon and
moving everything into the Handbook. The FAQ needs to be "driven" a lot
more aggressively than it has been, and since that's clearly never going to
happen then we should kill it to halt the spread of outdated information.
