Add the errata, hardware, installation, readme, and relnotes

pages for 9.3R.

These are not yet linked to the build, but soon the installation
and relnotes pages will be so they can be used in the 9.3-RC1
email.

AMD64 and Intel EM64T based PC hardware (amd64),
Intel, AMD, Cyrix or NexGen <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">x86</span>&#8221;</span> based PC hardware (i386),
Intel Itanium Processor based computers (ia64),
NEC PC-9801/9821 series PCs and compatibles (pc98),
and <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="trademark">UltraSPARC</span>® machines (sparc64). Versions
for the <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="trademark">ARM</span>® (arm), <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="trademark">MIPS</span>® (mips), and
<span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="trademark">PowerPC</span>® (powerpc) architectures are currently under
development as well. FreeBSD works with a wide variety of
peripherals and configurations and can be used for everything
from software development to games to Internet Service
Provision. </p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">This release of FreeBSD contains everything you need to run
such a system, including full source code for the kernel and
all utilities in the base distribution. With the source
distribution installed, you can literally recompile the entire
system from scratch with one command, making it ideal for
students, researchers, or users who simply want to see how it
all works. </p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">A large collection of third-party ported software (the
<span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">Ports Collection</span>&#8221;</span>) is also provided to make it
easy to obtain and install all your favorite traditional <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="trademark">UNIX</span>®
utilities for FreeBSD. Each <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">port</span>&#8221;</span> consists of a
set of scripts to retrieve, configure, build, and install a
piece of software, with a single command. Over 24,000
ports, from editors to programming languages to graphical
applications, make FreeBSD a powerful and comprehensive operating
environment that extends far beyond what's provided by many
commercial versions of <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="trademark">UNIX</span>®. Most ports are also available as
pre-compiled <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">packages</span>&#8221;</span>, which can be quickly
installed from the installation program. </p></div><div class="sect2"><div xmlns="" class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="title"><a id="idp61850016"></a>1.2. Target Audience</h3></div></div></div><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">This snapshot is aimed primarily at early adopters
and various other users who want to get involved with the
ongoing development of FreeBSD. While the FreeBSD development team
tries its best to ensure that each snapshot works as
advertised, 9.3-STABLE is very much a
work-in-progress. </p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">The basic requirements for using this snapshot are
technical proficiency with FreeBSD and an understanding of the
ongoing development process of FreeBSD 9.3-STABLE (as
discussed on the <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="link" href="http://lists.FreeBSD.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current" target="_top">FreeBSD-CURRENT mailing list</a>). </p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">For those more interested in doing business with FreeBSD than
in experimenting with new FreeBSD technology, formal releases
(such as 9.2-RELEASE) are frequently more appropriate.
Releases undergo a period of testing and quality assurance
checking to ensure high reliability and dependability. </p></div></div><div class="sect1"><div xmlns="" class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="obtain"></a>2. Obtaining FreeBSD</h2></div></div></div><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">FreeBSD may be obtained in a variety of ways.

convenient way to obtain FreeBSD for new installations, as it
provides a convenient way to quickly reinstall the system if
necessary. Some distributions include some of the optional,

9.3-RELEASE. It describes recently added, changed, or
deleted features of FreeBSD. It also provides some notes on
upgrading from previous versions of FreeBSD. </p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">This distribution of FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE is

<span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">late-breaking</span>&#8221;</span> information discovered late in the
release cycle or after the release. Typically, it contains

to documentation. An up-to-date copy of the errata for FreeBSD

advisories issued after 9.2-RELEASE, new drivers or hardware
support, new commands or options, major bug fixes, or
contributed software upgrades. They may also list changes to
major ports/packages or release engineering practices. Clearly
the release notes cannot list every single change made to FreeBSD
between releases; this document focuses primarily on security
advisories, user-visible changes, and major architectural
improvements. </p><div class="sect2"><div xmlns="" class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="title"><a id="security"></a>2.1. Security Advisories</h3></div></div></div><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">Problems described in the following security advisories
