2311fe3263 * Mention the different floppy images and the machine types for which
they are suitable (for i386).
* Mention xf86config(1) for ports that use XFree86.
* Since i386 INSTALL kernels do not have symbols, point users at
  the symbol files should they need them (hopefully not).

f898d4a492 Several changes to our release notes, OK'd by Luke Mewburn:
* mention additional kernels in binary/kernel/ dir: GENERIC_LAPTOP, etc
  * note that we also include firewall software (besides X, ...)
  * don't Xref the BUGS file, as it's gone
  * update some file sizes (source .tgz files) to match BETA2
  * mention that syssrc contains the source for all architectures
  * Sysinst now allows setting root password and timezone - note that.
  * Explain how to actually install binary packages, giving some
    examples that people may want to install.
  * Mention rawrite32 near rawrite.
  * Don't show preparation of install tape on i386
  * update i386 hardware a bit. This needs to be generated automatically...
  * Many minor nits & typos.

2becbc3b35 number of panics caused by the vnode locking mechanism before:
many -> some
Reading the original text led to the conclusion we paniced a lot
which was not true.

4251d93aae postinstall: add conditionals for hp300, macppc, and sparc
sysinst:        tsubai-san says that macppc doesn't suffer from install-related
                pcmcia interrupt problems.  removed those for macppc

upgrade:        add conditional for macppc and sparc (don't need to boot
                from floppy)

52e63ea477 - revert parts of previous

05cfcd7bcc - for the example dhcp config, use .(disp .. .disp) instead of a huge .Dl
block, as we're not using any formatting codes in here.
  improve the comments and formatting of the example
- use /etc/rc.d/dhcpd restart as the example for how to restart the
  dhcp server on a 1.5 box.

a7a7cef6ad - revert part of previous: .Key is a macro defined in ../common/macros,
and it does work, so use it instead of .Dq for key names.
- use .Ic instead of .Nm for `external' commands (i.e, not those being
  specifically described by this document)
