ways to set the serial console speed without having to rebuild the
boot blocks. Note that for releases before 6.1, though, rebuilding
the boot blocks may be the only option.

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.

- Catch up with renaming of /etc/rc.serial to /etc/rc.d/serial in FreeBSD 5.1
- Reword two sections to give 6.0 relevant instructions first

console section not having all the information. After careful review,
I find that it does, at leas twith respect to the thngs they were
complaining about. However, a very brief introduction to how to setup
a serial console was greeted with enthusiasm. Add a section that's
the 3 step process to get a serial console:
connect the ports
echo -h > /boot.config
change off to on for ttyd0 in /etc/ttys
reboot
with a pointer to the more extensive section. For many people, these 4 steps
are all that's needed. For others that wish to proceed in a more deliberate
fashion, the more verbose section will satisfy their needs.

- Use trademark entities.
- Add trademark attributions.
- Always use correct case for trademarks.
- Don't join trademarks with other words, e.g. using hyphens.
- Don't use trademarks as nouns (e.g. don't use "Windows NT's").
diskless-x/article.sgml:
- While I'm here anyway add trademark tags for all trademarks, now
that the stylesheet handles it right.
trademark.ent:
- Add entities for more trademarks / companies.
Also rename the 3Com trademark entity from t3com to tm.3com. This
should make the entity naming convention a bit more consitent. This is
done now since the entity is not used too many places yet.
