The claim that there were no "substantive" commits to this
article are made without any knowledge of internals of re@.
Several parts of the removed content is still relevant for
8.x, which we do still support.
Furthermore, this particular article, outdated or not, falls
under RE territory, and these drive-by commits were not
approved.
Approved by: re (implicit)
- since my previous cleanup passes removed some contents, it is now
possible to remove even more contents!
- remove some footnotes that refer to the same article the text they
footnote link to.
There is a two year old warning that this document is partly outdated
and that re@ is working on updating it.
I don't see many substantive commits updating this doc, so just do a
drive-by and remove the obviously wrong and outdated things.
the article can use some additional work from someone more clueful about
the current re@ process.
- remove sysinstall references

- references mostly outdated hardware
- doesn't use modern technologies (IPMI, nmdm, bhyve)
- the SUN hardware peculiarities are not useful anymore
- there are other better references on crimping custom serial cables
- MAKEDEV is no a thing anymore
there might be room for a modern version of this article in the handbook
but there is little that is salvageable from this article.
