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.

correct this. Note that you should make OpenBSD be the active
partition at least until the install has been completed.
- Next the disk label which defines the layout of the OpenBSD file
- systems must be set up. The installation script will invoke an
- 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. The root file system should be in
- partition 'a', and swap is usually in partition 'b'. If you have
- DOS or Linux partitions defined on the disk, these will usually
- show up as partition 'h', 'i' and so on. It is recommended that
- you create separate partitions for /usr and /var, and if you have
- room for it, also for /home. Currently OpenBSD will not share a
- disk with any other operating system care should be taken not to
- overwrite any data on other disks in the system and that no data

Note that all OpenBSD partitions in the disk label must have an
offset that makes it start within the OpenBSD part of the disk,
and a size that keeps it inside of that portion of the disk. This
- is within the bounds of the 'c' partition.

- 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 4096 and 512 or even 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 just hit return.
-
- 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. Supply the appropriate media options
- as suggested, Typically no media flags are required as autodetect
- normally works.
-
- 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.
