Per grog's suggestion, mention bde's symbol change to the kernel. It
likely isn't a big deal, but should be noted in passing.

o add note about binutils 2.10 fixing the problems noted on 20000522.
o Add some very brief text to the '612 entry on the config changes.
A better howto would be warmly added to the file.

Normally I don't put entries that should have been made months ago

into UPDATING. However, in this case I'm making an exception. I'm
adding a recommendation that people update their boot blocks. Old
boot blocks will cause a system to become unbootable if you have
removed /dev/{,r}wd*.

Massive gut. We're not into 5.0 so remove all 4.x entries from this

Also note that we're in the traditional whack-a-ball kernel model/api
reorg for 5.0 and that one needs to be extra careful about making sure
models and kernels are in sync.
