Notes: This merge entirely excludes the en_US/books/handbook/ppp-and-slip/
changes. They will need to be looked at a bit more closely.
Note to translators: I am very, very sorry. There was no *clean* way
to merge this as separate commits. Trust me, I tried.
The revision logs for the ISBN branch should provide some insight to what
content has changed. I am more than happy to help out here. Sorry :(

o Remove 4.X information, this includes notes and sections.
o Update documentation to reflect 5.X and 6.X.
o In some areas, try to make the new content version agnostic.
o Skip areas stating "5.[0-5] and later" as it's relevant - we
need a better way to handle these.
For several items, I checked the NOTES files, manual pages,
CVS history, etc.
Discussed on: -doc
A few ideas from: remko
Added detail about fdisk and /boot/mbr to head off reader assumption
that FreeBSD's boot manager is FreeBSD-fdisk's default boot manager.
Added detail to statement about 512 byte boot program
to head off debatable claims that it's untrue, and also
to inform the reader.
