b25e3cecbd Add the most vital piece of information WRT upgrading past the
statfs changes: you must have COMPAT_FREEBSD4 in your kernel
config file. Everything else is documented procedure and will
not save your ass if you don't have the option.

f1e94c6f29 Replace the if_name and if_unit members of struct ifnet with new members
if_xname, if_dname, and if_dunit. if_xname is the name of the interface
and if_dname/unit are the driver name and instance.

This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo
device creation and configuration symantics.

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.
