Autmun alpha notes cleanup:

- more details for floppy and floppyB
- hardware list updated
- get in sync with other arches: more setup text, at the correct
  location, etc.
- remove the list of alpha-related urls, update the ftp.digital.com
  addresses for the AXPpci notes (no more available from main site,
  but still on ftp.europe and gatekeeper) and firmware availability
- update the description of the bsd.rd procedure to match reality
- and fix a few typos in the process.
