glue in mount(8) to silently convert "mount -t msdos" to "mount

cause errors when someone tries to "umount -t msdos".  The later
doesn't work at all.

 %articles.ent;
This pulls all of the necessary entities via share/sgml/articles.ent.
The translation teams can customize these entities by redefining
the articles.ent file in <langcode>/share/sgml.  See
ja_JP.eucJP/share/sgml for example.

hierarchy in its URL from the English version.
