d99d01a8ca The "Configure Additional Network Services" screen does not show up 
during Standard installation but can be accessible at the end of the
installation procedure.  So, let's move that part at the end of the
installation procedure.  If I cut&paste that part, cvs diff gives me a
very garbled diff (which can be very hard to read) for an unknown reason,
so I'll just cut that part in the present commit and I'll re-add it in
the next commit.

3d8da60ac5 Copy the "Common Installation Problems" section from the installation

a verbatim copy except for changes that were necessary to make the new

05b3ca08ca There are two places in this chapter where we present (roughly) the

The earlier (in the text) one is at a more logical place in the flow
of the text, and it also contains more up-to-date information.  Add a
few more tidbits culled from the installation notes to the first
discussion about repartitioning and remove the second.

89b53cd484 Use &sparc64; entity. I don't particularly agree with this, because 
in this case we really should be using an entity that indicates a
variant of FreeBSD (such as &arch.sparc64; from the release notes),
not the commercial name of an architecture.  However, adopt the
prevailing style of this file for consistency; we can sort this out

a8025867ba Update Bridging section for if_bridge(4), the deprecated bridge(4) 
driver has been removed.  The two last advanced bridging features
documented at the end of the page will be available on 6.3-R (in fact
one will be MFC next week and the other one with 6.3-R), but I chose
to not add "this feature is avaiblable on 6.3 blah blah" since they
are advanced features for experts and since they will be available on
RELENG_6 soon.

9c7740b287 Generalize this article to include information about developers who are 
not committers, since only a subset of the information here applies to them.

To date, this has only included people who have been given GNATS access
without a commit bit.

The refactoring of the text is admittedly awkward, but anything else
would probably be a significant rewrite.

discontinuation of 4.X and alpha packages; document the few times that
full builds are done; document what you need to do with incomplete or
failed builds; better document how to interrupt a build; add writeups
for the new status scripts; and add a section on Dealing With Build Errors.
