Remove ancient SCCS tags from the tree, automated scripting, with two
minor fixup to keep things compiling. All the common forms in the tree
were removed with a perl script.

9600 was a standard baud rate decades ago, but 115200 is now more common
so choose defaults that are useful to the largest number of users.
Note that boot0sio does not support rates above 9600 so it remains
unchanged.

x86 boot uses loader(8) and the boot2-direct-to-kernel process is not
supported. Remove the documentation, which doesn't document a working
process and leads to confusion.

Perhaps RB_MUTE could mute user startup (rc) output as well, but right
now it mutes only kernel console output, so make the documentation match
reality.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

go asking what debug flags to set for GEOM to make it work. Advice
them to use gpart(8) instead.
Something similar should probably done with disklabel,
but I need to rewrite the disklabel examples first.

the location of make.conf is not constant and can be
modified via __MAKE_CONF. This change also improves
hyper-text linkage in our manpages.

/boot.config or on the "boot:" prompt line via a "-S<speed>" flag,
e.g. "-h -S19200". This adds about 50 bytes to the size of boot2
and required a few other small changes to limit the size impact.
This changes only affects boot2; there are further loader changes
to follow.
- Document better what the -C option means.
- The -c option is currently a no-op.
- The -D and -h options do not allow switching between
single/dual console modes and internal/video consoles.
(This used to be true for the old biosdisk boot code,
but now they just force the multiple consoles mode and
serial console, respectively.)
and disklabel.5. Refrencing bsdlabel.5 is somewhat bogus as it is not
connected to the build and is mostly unwritten at this point.

where boot.config needs to reside. Also change /kernel
to /boot/loader, as that is the apparent default now. This
man page probably requires more updates.
This flag adds a pausing utility. When ran with -p, during the kernel
probing phase, the kernel will pause after each line of output.
This pausing can be ended with the '.' key, and is automatically
suspended when entering ddb.
This flag comes in handy at systems without a serial port that either hang
during booting or reser.
