Create the altix project branch. The altix project will add support
for the SGI Altix 350 to FreeBSD/ia64. The hardware used for porting
is a two-module system, consisting of a base compute module and a
CPU expansion module. SGI's NUMAFlex architecture can be an excellent
platform to test CPU affinity and NUMA-aware features in FreeBSD.

# 57e561c0 10-Dec-2005 Doug Barton <dougb@FreeBSD.org>

Remove rcconf.sh from /etc/rc.d, and instead load the configuration
as part of rc. Doing this, and the sourcing of rc.subr after we have
determined if we are booting diskless (and correspondingly run
rc.initdiskless if necessary) are safe, and actually allow fewer files
to be needed on the diskless box. This also allows variables from
the configuration to be available to rc itself, such as ...

Add a variable to rc.conf, early_late_divider, which designates the
script which separates the early and late stages of the boot process.
Default this to mountcritlocal, and add text to etc/defaults/rc.conf,
rc.conf(5) and diskless(8) which describes how and why one might want
to change this.

# 08b91343 10-Oct-2005 Yaroslav Tykhiy <ytykhiy@gmail.com>

Replace "/etc/make.conf" with references to make.conf(5)
where applicable. The main reason for this change is that
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.

# 738d91ba 10-Jan-2004 Robert Watson <rwatson@FreeBSD.org>

Update the diskless(8) documentation to indicate that the use of the
kernel BOOTP options is *not* required if the boot loader can pass
network configuration information to the kernel using the kernel
environment. As such, PXE doesn't require them. However, the NFS
options are required in the kernel (previously not documented).
