There is a "Hardware Compatability" list (both PC and Alpha) in the release documentation. It is *much* more up to date and detailed than what's in the Handbook; more importantly, it's tied pretty closely to the release notes. A pointer to the release documentation (from the handbook), with maybe some generic statements about what types of hardware are supported, should suffice IMHO. The list itself is a bit long to go in the Handbook. This brings up another point...that there's considerable overlap between some sections of the handbook and some files in the release documentation. In particular, see the "Installing FreeBSD" section of the Handbook and INSTALL.TXT or its RELNOTESng equivalent. It looks to me like these two sections had a common ancestor, but diverged considerably. I've wanted to audit these for consistency, but I'm not sure when I'll get time to do this.
