svn commit: r39550 - in head/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook: bsdinstall install serialcomms

[Isabell Long]

Author: issyl0
Date: Fri Sep 14 21:55:29 2012
New Revision: 39550
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/39550

Log:
  - Update a section of the serial communications Handbook chapter to refer
    to uart(4) in FreeBSD 8.X as opposed to the obsolete sio(4).  Keep the
    references to sio(4) but specify that they are for 7.X and older
    releases.  [1]
  - Fix some capitalisation convention errors also in the Handbook.
