9565589609 Devices name/node tagging is not consistent in the Handbook, it should
respect the following scheme:
- if the device name is /dev/foo --> <filename>/dev/foo</filename>

84f8ee0a15 Use relative URLs when URL_RELPREFIX is defined and URLS_ABSOLUTE
is not defined.

- URL_RELPREFIX must always point the top page's URL
  (http://www.FreeBSD.org) in relative form, defined in Makefile.

- &url.base; can be used in doc/<langcode>/*.  It will be
  replaced with the real URL which points the top page.

For translators: Please make sure to define URL_RELPREFIX to
point the top page.  The localized docs have different directory
hierarchy in its URL from the English version.

9b7a21de42 Correct some misuses of "its" and "it's".
Also expand some contractions of the same, discovered while I was
hunting down all of the above.

This commit can very likely be ignored by translation teams, as I doubt
that this problem transcends languages.

bd303858f4 One big proper English and content sweep of this chapter:
Mention:
- this chapter is a general guide, not a literal reference manual
- what partition types PResizer, FIPS, and PartitionMagic deal with
- subnet mask as a requirement to configure Ethernet interface
- most computers can boot from CDROM/DVD drive
- Windows does not report bad blocks when formatting floppies
- BIOS "list of devices" is commonly known as "Boot Order"
- If old OS loads, BIOS may not support boooting from desired media
- use of "U"ndo in FDisk Editor
- one needs to change their Keymap only if they're using a
  non-standard keyboard
- in FDisk Editor, when hitting 'C', default value is the largest
  available block
- BootMgr needs to be installed on both disks 1 and 2 if FreeBSD is
  being installed on disk 2
- how much space the FreeBSD Ports Collection uses
- purpose of NFS client
- how an improper X configuration can freeze the machine/installation
- how to "Cancel" out of the Package installer
- C-shell (example uses bash)

Remove:
- extranneous words
- periods after list of information required to configure Ethernet and
  PPP interfaces
- mention that there is "always" conflicts in UserConfig

Change:
- "installation routine will prompt you several times before writing
  any data to disc" -> ... "will prompt you before" ...

  There's only one real FINAL warning

- "Skip to the next section" -> "skip this section"
- "Irrespective of whether" -> "Whether"
- "Newer devices..., and be" -> "Newer devices..., and are"
- "A tape" -> "SCSI or QIC tape"
- <important> -> <warning> in some cases
- Its -> it's in some cases
- "/var directory contains varible length files" -> ... "contains
  files that are constantly varying"
- Network File Service -> Network File System
- optimise -> optimize
- "then asked" -> "then be asked"
- FreeBSD 3.4 -> FreeBSD &rel.current;
- partition ID 165 -> partition ID of 165

* Insert many commas and remove many others
* Include a link to the latest FreeBSD errata page
* Make use of &ms-dos and &windows entities
* Make use of <filename class="directory"> tags
* Properly markup some <acronym>'s
* Explain when one would use Standard or None as their boot manager
* Clarify when to use IPv6 auto-detection
* Make use of <hostid> tags
* Clarify testing the mouse daemon during configuration
* Remove repeated content about creating installation floppies in
* Advanced Installation section
* Use /floppy when example mounts a floppy
* Remove mention of CDROMs #3-5, since the project no longer publishes them
* Remove mention of how the mini-ISO was not produced prior to 4.4

* Many other minor technical and English clarifications

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.
