Build the "MONOLITHIC" kernel configuration by default and include
in the release.

Using the modularise "GENERIC" kernel on an existing NetBSD 5.0 system
is difficult and error-prone. The "MONOLITHIC" kernel provides an
easy way to test a new kernel or to upgrade an existing system.

* 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. :(

Remove mention of wscons-specific kernels on acorn32 -- all acorn32 kernels

- ensure that all MACHINE_ARCH registers are at least defined to 0
- don't bother setting register _\*M

This is a complete refit of the mac68k documentation.

Of particular note is documentation on the new preferred method of
installation using sysinst, provided (and updated) by Bob Nestor.

r_mips is not valid; use r_mipseb or r_mipsel. noted by rafal on icb

Update sgimips portions of release notes to more closely match reality, esp.

Also, a few minor rewordings to clarify a little better.

Some changes to the sun2 distrib docs to reflect reality.

Added descriptions for hpcboot.exe.

the Amiga internal ATA connector.

Added sun2 content to the release notes.

mention GENERIC_PS2TINY for i386

update sparc64 (and some generic) set sizes to reality (gnu.tgz is
*much* larger for sparc64 now! :-). remove the notes that PCI kbd/ms,
sbus audiocs, and fas support don't work because they now do.

mention i386 INSTALL_PS2

Minor spelling fixes.
auxilliary -> auxiliary
concatinate -> concatenate

Update mvme68k/m68k (and some MI) set sizes to reflect -current reality.

Cardbus => CardBus
X window system -> X WIndow System
Remove recommendation that upgrading install etc

Document the Amiga INSTALL and INSTWDCPCM kernels.

Several changes to our release notes, OK'd by Luke Mewburn:

* 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.

.Li kernel names

Bring these up to date WRT reality. In particular, the disk-space
requirements were somewhat insufficient, and MVME162 was nowhere to
be seen.

branches: 1.27.2;
Update pmax set sizes from the 1.5_BETA build.

more cleanups
- fix up sizes for various sets based on info from tv@ (any errors are
probably due to my conversion rather than his data)
- .Ic commands, .Pa paths, .Tn trade names

correct xbase and xcontrib sizes of mips.

update hpcmips and mips set sizes (unpacked on 8K/1K ffs).

Added Amiga unpacked set sizes.

Update size of news68k binary sets.

change "VR41xx" to "Vr41xx".

update for hpcmips.

- move arch setting logic from main -> macros, and change as follows:
- define string `A' to contain the arch name (defaults to the port
name)
- define registers \*A and _\*A if
- deprecate _FOR_RELEASE, and just use FOR_RELEASE

migrate */contents -> common/contents, as there was *way* too much
unnecessary duplication. wrap the MD stuff in .if r_foo \{\ ... .\}

* Delete sun3x from SUBDIR
* The merged contents file didn't work out, so nuke it and put it back
into each port directory. Most still have the now-pointless conditionals;
these now should be deleted.
* fix alpha, amiga, and arm32 to delete the maze of twisty little conditionals

Add sn3 stuff. (This file is gross...)

Add i386 distribution set sizes. Add xserver set description.

Update mvme68k sections for MVME167 support.
Also move Chuck to "Developers" and myself to mvme68k port-master.

1) Remove all vestiges of tar from src/distrib. Use pax and appropriate
commandlines for all tar operations. (work supplied by Matt Green)
2) Update arch/*/md.c to deal with new sysinst/run.c. Special case
anything that needs to do a redirect or a pipe.
3) #if 0 some unused code in target.c. This code will need to be updated,
or special cased with do_system.

Big thank you to Matt for all his work on this.

Give the common install notes components their own subdirectory.
Also, alpha and i386 now use a single merged common/sysinst,
and arm32 and sparc have a single merged common/xfer.
