Arghh.. I just lost my extensive comments about this patch.  The short 
of it is that this doesn't even validate (missing tags, etc..) and the 
English is ambiguous.  I think every sentence needs revision.  Here is 
the last bit of my previous comment that I was able to salvage from my 
editor on freefall : 

"The NEWCARD implementation for PC-card does not work for me." .. 

Also, The cbb0 line might be better if enclosed in <errorname>. 

I won't go on, but each entry needs extensive grammatical improvement 
as well as some markup changes. 

Maybe someone else can work with you to improve the English? 

It would be nice to add these technical issues to the FAQ. 

Thanks for your time spent writing this up.  Your contributions are 
appreciated.

Hi,

Here is an update on PR docs/50677. Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Feedback was received (although not from the Submitter), with a shiny 
new patch.

This has been open for a while and completely revised from the original PR.
I cannot assess if the submitted QA is still valid and there have been a
number of releases since Mon Apr 07 06:30:16 PDT 2003. Please take a look at
this and decide on action.

I have added FAQ entries on how to disable ACPI on boot in bootloader, 
how to disable ACPI on installed system and how to replace NEWCARD with OLDCARD. 

I haven't added an entry about starting devd, as it's started unconditonally. 

I also haven't added unsupported_io_range thing, IIRC it was only relevant on 
FreeBSD 4.X, right?
