42fbeac82a Swap out all references to rcNG in favor of rc.d. This is not 
"next generation" technology anymore. :)

Update text and examples to match current realities relative
to the local_startup import, and other advances.

Attempt to future-proof the text a little by referring to
dates and releases, rather than (e.g.) "recently."

Add some more man page references.

1c58896a25 Snapshot files are set with the "snapshot" file flag during creation by 
mksnap_ffs(8) or mount(8).  The previous statement was incorrect since
it mentions the immutable flag, i.e. "noschg" which is not the case when
one does "ls -lo" in a directory containing snapshot files.

While I am here, mention a way for finding snapshot files on a file
system.

Also remove the -U option from the example, since it could create ISO
images that some systems could not boot from (besides, it is not used in
the FreeBSD src/release/i386/mkisoimages.sh script, and there probably
is a reason for that ;)
