- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

# 131530 03-Jul-2004 ru

Mechanically kill hard sentence breaks and double whitespaces.


# 128899 03-May-2004 ambrisko

Remove new options and my prevention of system freeze when the sio probe
returns okay when HW probe fails. This happens when comconsole flag is
set but VGA console is used instead.

Back out requested by: bde (He will be looking at other solutions from scratch)


# 128781 30-Apr-2004 ambrisko

Some enhancements and bug fix.
- Define option FORCECONSPEED to force the serial console to
be CONSPEED. I've run into a lot of boards in which
the detect for prior speed doesn't work and ends up with
broken console since it is at the wrong speed.
- If a serial port is marked as a console, but console=vidconsole
and if the serial ports doesn't exist it will be probed and
attached at a 8250 chip. Then writes to that will freeze the
system.
- Add an option flags 0x400000 to mark this as a potential
comconsole in-case the one flaged with 0x10 does not exist
in the system.

This makes it easier to deploy on systems with one or two serial ports.

bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.
