Add the ex(4) driver to hardware.hlp.
Wipe out most of the obsoleted (2.2-related) changelist from the relnotes, and add those stuff that came to mind being really new in 3.0. Folks, if you add some major feature in -current, please consider recording it here. Our users love to know what they're getting by reading it in a single file. In particular, the Lite2 mergers might consider adding information here.

1. What's new since 2.2.X-RELEASE
------------------------------------
-The ATAPI CD-ROM support is now reported to work for quite an
-impressive number of drives. In other words, all the drives that
-basically adhere to the ATAPI standard are likely to work.
-
-There are many new drivers available in the kernel, too many to keep
-them in mind. Tekram supplied a driver for their DC390 and DC390T
-controllers. These controllers are based on the AMD 53c974, and the
-driver is also able to handle other SCSI controllers based on that
-chip. Of course, with Tekram being generous enough to support the
-FreeBSD project with their driver, we'd like to encourage you to buy
-their product.
-
-The `ed' and `lnc' drivers now support auto-configuration for the
-respective PCI ethernet cards, including many NE2000 clones and the
-AMD PCnet chips.
-
-The SDL RISCom N2 support is new, as well as the PCI version of the
-Cyclades driver.
-
-The Intel Etherexpress Pro/10 card is now supported.
+The kernel code from 4.4BSD-Lite2 has been (finally) merged.
-Support for APM BIOSes is now in a much better shape.
+Use the new if_multiaddrs list for multicast addresses rather than the
+previous hackery involving struct in_ifaddr and arpcom. Get rid of the
+abominable multi_kludge.
-The manual section 9 has been started, describing `official' kernel
-programming interfaces. We are still seeking volunteers to document
-interfaces here!
+The Advansys Systems Inc. SCSI Controller driver for ISA/VLB cards
+has been added.
