c8eadc3369 Always build pdf from ps and remove related nits. This is what was already 
done with Handbook and building pdf directly does not seem to work
correctly anyway. This change will help simplifying the build process
and spare some image conversions.

fbbf024e83 Some additional changes from jhb: 
- It now initializes the buffer to a known-good state (length of 0) so that
  you can't do a buffer overrun by reading it without writing to it.
- It doesn't include the trailing null character in 'len' and always leaves
  room for it during writes by restricting writes to writing only 255 chars,
  but letting reads read 256 chars.  This means after init you can do a read
  of one byte to get an empty string, and if you write "foo" (3 bytes) you
  can read back "foo\0" (I think this is the original intent).  Letting
  'len' not hold the null simplifies a fair bit of logic in write.
- Use 'td' for thread pointers, not 'p' (which is from when this was a
  'struct proc *').
- Some style fixes.
- Don't ever set uio_offset directly, uiomove() already changes it, and in
  fact we should read it after the write to handle partial writes.

5f39d8fae6 Use "writing" rather than "copying" for the process if using dd(1) to 
write an image to a floppy disk or USB stick.  Copying tends towards

9bb4a9b2fa remove mention of specific hardware from the FAQ. In this case the 
general question is "where can I learn about support for broadcom chips"
which does not need to mentioned in the FAQ.

Perhaps a question about to learn about hardware support is useful.
