da694a1ffc For PR kern/38537:
- Make MULTIPROCESSOR mandatory on i386.

Installation changes:

- Update installation section of release notes to match reality.
- Rename INSTALL to INSTALL_FLOPPY, retire INSTALL_LARGE.
- Build INSTALL kernel from GENERIC, like on amd64.
- Update boot menu to allow disabling ACPI and/or SMP.
- Remove GENERIC.NOACPI from the installed kernel list.
- TODO: install default boot.cfg in etc.tgz.
- TODO: possibly enable PCI fixup stuff at runtime if ACPI is disabled.

Build changes:

- No longer build ALL, it's for verification, is slow to build and the
  build process is already crippled by the number of kernels built.
- No longer build GENERIC.NOACPI.

afa2ab7f6c Clear the old list of changes (between NetBSD 2.0 and 3.0 releases) as a
preparation for filling the list of changes between NetBSD 3.0 and 4.0
releases. In some obsolete claims like "this is the n-th major releae of
NetBSD for the xyz platform" replace n by XXX.

4269337775 * Clarify that the xfont set is only needed by the X server
* simplify commands to extracts sets & pkgsrc
 * add spaces around \(em - why this isn't rendered as — is far
   beyond me, can someone with *roff fu have a look?

Inspired by posting by James K. Lowden on netbsd-docs.

XXX the hardware list needs real work. :(

4108470a24 Expand tabulators in .Bd -literal section, containing required irq/drq/io
settings for devices.  This is so that the resulting .html file renders
as expected, instead of having the tabulated text coloumns flush against
the right margin, at least when viewed with Netscape 4.77.

a5c0fa3864 Based on feedback (various), remove the .toc files from CVS,
and instead generate them each and every time (twice!).
Based on a suggestion from Alan Barrett, allow setting MAKETOC=no
to permit rebuilding the install notes without regenerating the
.toc files, to allow more speedy debugging of markup changes.
