This chapter referred to images from the retired Install chapter, which
were missing from the Makefile. Some of the information was out of
date. The original disk organization diagram had been created in an
application that has not existed for over a decade, so I wrote a new
diagram in PostScript. This addresses the PR below. This needs to be
extended to add a GPT version.

Update the fingerprint example to match the new fingerprints.

Add missing 9.2-R missing bits from previous release.
Move some <url>s from report the report body to the <links> section, where
they actually work.
Standardize on "The FreeBSD Foundation" as the sponsor text, and try to
use "&os; head" more consistently.
Provide descriptions for what the drivers in the Acer C720 report do,
since they do not have manual pages yet.
Announce svn0.eu.FreeBSD.org, a new official Subversion mirror for Europe.
This mirror is based in the UK, and is well connected to the rest of
Europe. It hosts read-only copies of the src, ports, doc and socsvn
repositories, all available over https (recommended), http, svn and rsync.
This mirror is generously hosted by Bytemark, http://www.bytemark.co.uk/
While here, add a note that svn0.us-east is available over rsync.
Update the freebsd-update section:
Define minor and major version upgrades at the start of the section.
Mention that installed applications will still run after a minor
upgrade. Split the custom kernel portion into 8.X and earlier and 9.X
and later. Make the portupgrade instructions specific to major version
upgrades.
