+/stand/sysinstall moved even more towards a system management tool.
+
+The syscons and psm drivers now have a new underlying shared keyboard
+driver, eliminating many of the previously existing problems with
+their mutual interaction.
+
+2.2 is the first release that includes full CD-R support for the
+Plasmon RF41xx, HP4020i, and Philips CDD2000 drives.  The driver is
+still under development (in particular to extend its usability for
+other devices), but it has been proved to be stable by now.
+
+Support for NFSv3 clients and servers went into the 2.2 sources
+shortly after branching off the 2.0.5/2.1.X tree.  There are also
+other options available with NFS, like the ability to turn an NFSv2
+server into asychronous write mode (which is in violation of the
+specs, but has precedents e.g. in SGI Irix).
+
+The mount option `async' allows asynchronous metadata updates on UFS
+file systems, something that is the default e.g. on Linux' ext2fs.
+This speeds up many i-node intensive filesystem operations (like
+rm -r) at the cost of an increased risk in case of a system crash.
+The installation itself makes use of this feature, and could be
+drastically accelerated by this.  (A bindist-only installation from a
+SCSI CD-ROM can now complete in less than 5 minutes on a fast
+machine!)
+
+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-config-
+uration 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.
+
+Support for APM BIOSes is now in a much better shape.
+
+The manual section 9 has been started, describing `official' kernel
+programming interfaces.  We are still seeking volunteers to document
+interfaces here!
