Factorize more common texts from the ramdisk operation.

No text changes except for harmonization, and the blurb about network
interface flags has bene slightly changed for some arches.

 	installing from a non-serial console, the default of "sun"
 	is correct.  If you are installing from a serial console
 	you should choose the terminal type from amongst those listed.
-	(If your terminal type is xterm, just use vt100).  After
-	entering the terminal type you will be asked whether you
-	wish to do an "install" or an "upgrade".  Enter 'i' for a
-	fresh install or 'u' to upgrade an existing installation.
-
-	You will be presented with a welcome message and asked if
-	you really wish to install (or upgrade).  Assuming you
-	answered yes, the install program will then tell you which
-	disks of that type it can install on, and ask you which it
-	should use.  The name of the disk is typically "sd0" for
-	SCSI drives or "wd0" for IDE drives.  Reply with the name
-	of your disk.
-
-	Next the disk label which defines the layout of the OpenBSD
-	file systems must be set up.  The installation script will
-	invoke an interactive editor allowing you to do this.  Note
-	that partition 'c' inside this disk label should ALWAYS
-	reflect the entire disk, including any non-OpenBSD portions.
-	If you are labeling a new disk, you will probably start
-	out with an 'a' partition that spans the disk.  In this
-	case You should delete 'a' before adding new partitions.
-	The root file system should be in partition 'a', and swap
-	is usually in partition 'b'.  It is recommended that you
-	create separate partitions for /usr and /var, and if you
-	have room for it, one for /home.  For help in the disk
-	label editor, enter '?' or 'M' to view the manual page (see
-	the info on the ``-E'' flag).
-
-	The swap partition (usually 'b') should have a type of "swap", all
-	other native OpenBSD partitions should have a type of "4.2BSD".
-	Block and fragment sizes are usually 8192 and 1024 bytes, but can
-	also be 16384 and 2048 bytes.
-
-	The install program will now label your disk and ask which file
-	systems should be created on which partitions.  It will auto-
-	matically select the 'a' partition to be the root file system.
-	Next it will ask for which disk and partition you want a file
-	system created on.  This will be the same as the disk name (e.g.
-	"sd0") with the letter identifying the partition (e.g. "d")
-	appended (e.g. "sd0d").  Then it will ask where this partition is
-	to be mounted, e.g. /usr.  This process will be repeated until
-	you enter "done".
-
-	At this point you will be asked to confirm that the file system
-	information you have entered is correct, and given an opportunity
-	to change the file system table.  Next it will create the new file
-	systems as specified, OVERWRITING ANY EXISTING DATA.  This is the
-	point of no return.
-
-	After all your file systems have been created, the install program
-	will give you an opportunity to configure the network.  The network
-	configuration you enter (if any) can then be used to do the install
-	from another system using HTTP or FTP, and will also be the
-	configuration used by the system after the installation is complete.
-
-	If you select to configure the network, the install program will
-	ask you for a name of your system and the DNS domain name to use.
-	Note that the host name should be without the domain part, and that
-	the domain name should NOT {:-include-:} the host name part.
-
-	Next the system will give you a list of network interfaces you can
-	configure.  For each network interface you select to configure, it
-	will ask for the IP address to use, the symbolic host name to use,
-	the netmask to use and any interface-specific flags to set.  The
-	interface-specific flags are usually used to determine which media
-	the network card is to use.  The flags usually carry the following
+	(If your terminal type is xterm, just use vt100).
+OpenBSDInstallPart3({:- or "wd0" for IDE drives-:})
+
+OpenBSDInstallPart4
+
+OpenBSDInstallPart5(sd0)
+
+OpenBSDInstallNet(linkflags)dnl
+ The flags usually carry the following
 	meaning:
 
 		-link0 -link1	Use BNC (coaxial) port [default]
 		link0 -link1	Use AUI port
 		link0 link1	Use UTP (twisted pair) port
 
-	After all network interfaces has been configured the install pro-
-	gram will ask for a default route and IP address of the primary
-	name server to use.  You will also be presented with an opportunity
-	to edit the host table.
-
-	At this point you will be allowed to edit the file system table
-	that will be used for the remainder of the installation and that
-	will be used by the finished system, following which the new file
-	systems will be mounted to complete the installation.
-
-	After these preparatory steps have been completed, you will be
-	able to extract the distribution sets onto your system.  There
-	are several install methods supported; FTP, HTTP, tape, CD-ROM,
-	or a local disk partition.  Note that installation from floppies
-	is not currently supported.
