705a1dda21 Mention new features:
. if_media support (obtained from Jason Thorpe's NetBSD implementation),
. multi-session ISO-9660 support

Move aic6[26]30 and floppy tapes out into an ``unmaintained'' subsection,
so people don't expect the same quality of support for them as for other
drivers.

Our ATAPI CD-ROM driver should no longer be considered ALPHA quality
now, i think.

446e6633c0 Remove the text that says that freebsd-bugs can't be subscribed
to by anyone.

While I was at it, I changed all of the mailing list addresses to be
consistent with how they are referenced in the handbook.  E.g
freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.ORG instead of bugs@FreeBSD.ORG.

Closes PR# 2791

87a855c4d2 Add the ex(4) driver to hardware.hlp.
Wipe out most of the obsoleted (2.2-related) changelist from the
relnotes, and add those stuff that came to mind being really new
in 3.0.

Folks, if you add some major feature in -current, please consider
recording it here.  Our users love to know what they're getting by
reading it in a single file.  In particular, the Lite2 mergers might
consider adding information here.

partitions and traditional BSD partitions.

808a36ef65 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
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.

20f763cd5b Documentation update.
Remove a duplicate entry for ahc0 in hardware.hlp (closes PR #
docs/2282), a few additions all over the place while i was at it.

Tried to add as much of the important highlights for the new features
in 2.2 into the release notes.  I still think that many things are
missing here, so folks, if you imported something great that's in 2.2
but not in 2.1.X, please review this section and send us your
additions!

0c4ccfc110 To use the dosio library fully, I also (duh!) have to retain full
use of stdio, I can't just go handing fileno(fp) around and expect
that to work.  Since this means I need to have sysinstall play pipeline
on single file distributions now, that means I can also finally add a
progress indicator for them.

Change installation instructions to note that there's no dists directory
anymore on CDROMs.

669ca89787 Fix some very minor cosmetic cruft I couldn't help tweaking when

Add a password field for adduser and use no-echo string field for it.
This requires my latest libdialog changes (in RELENG_2_2 or -current) to work.
