Hi folks--

As you might have seen, I've just turned on the machine-dependent ia64
release documentation (release notes, hardware notes, and installation
guide) for CURRENT.  This will allow ia64 snapshots to build with docs
(I presume there will probably some doc toolchain issues to be worked
through first).

The release notes are probably in pretty good shape, although the
hardware notes are incomplete.  I'm not sure what the state of
sysinstall, etc. is for the ia64, but I'm pretty sure that the
installation document will also need some work.

I'd like to ask for interested ia64 folks to help me flesh these out.  I
know next to nothing about this platform, BTW.  Things I'm looking for:

o Something that describes what CPUs are supported (proc-ia64.sgml).

o Supported hardware that isn't listed (generally, one can peruse the 
i386 list for a list of candidates).

o Hardware that I bogusly said was listed.

o ia64-specific installation instructions, if appropriate.

As always, my (manually-generated) snapshots of the release 
documentation for various releases and development branches is at:

http://people.freebsd.org/~bmah/relnotes/

Thanks for any help you can give!

Bruce.
