Hi,
the detailed log:
- Delete the references to device.hints because we don't use it.
- Change various references from FreeBSD to &os;.
- Fix the example in the OS selector boot menu.
- Use options of the DragonFly boot menu when makes sense.
- Delete a reference to kernel.GENERIC because we don't have
it on the ISO.
