- csup(1) now only in the base system
- update (tty) device names, add warnings for 7.X

3f0d1b56f0 Do what I swore would be done: 
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.

3735e320fd Corrected implication that /boot/boot0 comes from MBR. 
Added detail about fdisk and /boot/mbr to head off reader assumption
that FreeBSD's boot manager is FreeBSD-fdisk's default boot manager.

Added detail to statement about 512 byte boot program
to head off debatable claims that it's untrue, and also
to inform the reader.

e2f224d087 Use current attribute for -CURRENT manual pages. It is now possible to 
make the difference between -STABLE and -CURRENT manual pages.  We need
this for devfs, device.hints etc. manual pages in our Handbook.

Manual pages entities for -CURRENT should have the form &man.current.foo.1;
Note, this does not concern release notes but only docs.

An "old" man.devfs.5 entity is kept to allow the build of localized docs
till their upgrade.
