Picture of some of the text that anchors broken links.

When I went to FreeBSD.org to check some hardware compatibility lists, I found several hyperlinks on the "Release Documentation" page broken. To get to the information, I had to pick a release number in the "Release Information" pages and then find a hyperlink that worked. To get to the page with the broken links, I started with the "Release Information" page and followed the hyperlink in the second paragraph.

That link leads to the page with the broken links.

On https://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/ links to pages like Hardware Notes going to sites like https://www.freebsd.org/releases/CURRENT/hardware/ were not working.
Several of these appeared to lead only to error messages.

This is because release documentation is not provided for -CURRENT and -STABLE.
Maybe related to this(https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=252980)
I uploaded patch on Phabricator(https://reviews.freebsd.org/D33073)

    relnotes: Remove references to documentation for !-RELEASE

    The release notes erroneously reference documentation that is not
    provided with either -CURRENT or -STABLE branches.

    If they ever existed, it's been a long time since they were removed, as
    a check on the ftp-archive reveals no existence of it as far back as
    6-STABLE in and around 2005.
