The hardware notes are mostly compiled from the HARDWARE sections of the
section 4 manpages.  The interesting files are the following:

src/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/hardware/article.sgml
src/release/doc/share/misc/man2hwnotes.pl
src/release/doc/share/misc/dev.archlist.txt

doc/share/sgml/man-refs.ent

Note that there are still some "manual" entries in article.sgml.

Cheers,
