The earlier (in the text) one is at a more logical place in the flow
of the text, and it also contains more up-to-date information. Add a
few more tidbits culled from the installation notes to the first
discussion about repartitioning and remove the second.
in this case we really should be using an entity that indicates a
variant of FreeBSD (such as &arch.sparc64; from the release notes),
not the commercial name of an architecture. However, adopt the
prevailing style of this file for consistency; we can sort this out

and ports/devel/autotools to bring in all available versions of
autotools
* remove table mapping old constructs to USE_AUTOTOOLS stanzas, since
they haven't been present for a long time.
