Mention new features:
. if_media support (obtained from Jason Thorpe's NetBSD implementation), . multi-session ISO-9660 support Move aic6[26]30 and floppy tapes out into an ``unmaintained'' subsection, so people don't expect the same quality of support for them as for other drivers. Our ATAPI CD-ROM driver should no longer be considered ALPHA quality now, i think.
