Many thanks to uwe for lots of *roff help.

Pass the set suffix (either .tgz or .tar.xz) from the makefile.
Document the rescue set.

+ new groups
- add modules set where missing
- formatting improvements
- note that rtsol{,d} will be gone in the future
- fix raw partition info

minimums lingering -- HI PORTMASTERS!)
- various other minor content modernization
- whitespace fixes

branches: 1.1.24;
Move common/contents file into MD dirs again.
I know it isn't a good thing to have many copy-and-pasted contents
(set file descriptions etc) in all MD files, but it's much more annoying
to maintain a bunch of .if \n [${MACHINE}] conditionals for all ports
and maintainers rarely notice that they also have to prepare or update
MD contents in MI content file with messy ifdefs.

XXX: of course common text should be shared by mdoc macro etc.
but I doubt playing mdoc(7) is really worth...

Various updates to the INSTALL notes in preparation for 5.0. Changes
are still to come.

Add note on handling the O2 framebuffer, and how to work around the
non-support, by giving instructions for a serial console.

Bring this up to date by mentioning the Personal Iris machines, Phobos
Fast Ethernet boards, and the IP22/24 parallel port. The Set Engineering
board is also noted but commented out until the bugs are shaken out.

Move on-board MACE Ethernet to "supported devices" list.

zs keyboard/mouse now supported. Also, grtwo can be found on a wide range of
SGI machines, so just say "various" rather than enumerate.

attempt to bring this up-to-date:
* IP12 support
* NG1 and GR2 support
* Indy pckbc support

Also get rid of the "IP2x"-term

add missing .bullet)

branches: 1.7.2;
Remove stray .It

IP20 is now supported. While we're here, replace "IP22 class" with "IP2x class"
for devices that exist on all IP2x platforms.

- Update O2 status. From Christopher SEKIYA.
- R1000 -> R10000

More minor updates to release notes -- a large part of these changes were
sgimips specific, but there are also MI tweaks.

Update sgimips portions of release notes to more closely match reality, esp.
after the removal of the kern-GENERIC set from sysinst. While here, fix up
some minor things (wording, bad markup, typoes) in the non-sgimips specific
common portions.

* merge in documentation from Scott G. Akmentins-Taylor

Follow rename of distribution kernels in binary/kernel:

Use \*[Lt] and \*[Gt] rather than '<' and '>' directly.

Convert TNF licenses to new 2 clause variant

branches: 1.7.32; 1.7.34;
ip32 needs "pci(0)" prepended to boot device string.

Update docs to reflect new kernel naming convention and cdrom installation
procedure.

Fix up sgimips install sections to more closely correspond to the current
state of reality: comment out O2 references since 1.6 won't support the
O2, add notes on installing via a net-booted kernel, disk partitioning
(disk must have IRIX volhdr, one-disk split NetBSD/IRIX install has not
been tested and may/may not work). Also expand/add some examples.

XXX: Should add info on the "extra" kernel sets like the INSTALL_INDY,
etc. sets.

Replace "filesystem" with the correct phrase, "file system."

source ../common/upgrade, which seems to be the common practise

Add (empty) upgrade file to satisfy build.

Make the port-specific changelog ($MACHINE/whatis) optional by using .pso
to call a shell script which outputs nothing if the file is not present.

Remove the "whatis" file for ports where it does not contain anything
useful and hasn't been updated for years. OK tsutsui@, hubertf@.

- move "MD instructions on setting up boot media"
from common/xfer with messy mdoc .if conditionals
into MD xfer files so that developers can see
what contents are missing or obsolete and should be
written or updated
- remove some useless MD description for maintainability

XXX: still a bunch of unmaintained .if \n [${MACHINE}] in common files
