src/sys/i386/conf/NOTES, 1.793

>Description:

The NOTES entry for softupdates reads:

# Soft updates is technique for improving file system speed and
# making abrupt shutdown less risky.  It is not enabled by default due
# to copyright restraints on the code that implement it.
# 
options         SOFTUPDATES

a) The first sentence should start with "Soft updates is a technique..."
b) The second senctence should be removed - the restraints have been
dropped and SOFTUPDATES is now enabled by default.

>How-To-Repeat:

Open the file in the one true editor (vi ;->) and search for SOFTUPDATES

>Fix:
