Your average close-to-release distrib/notes/FOO update.
This time:
- update hardware list, reorganize it more logically
- gets most of the bsd.rd description and instructions on par with other
arches
- document hov to create a boot tape, and how to boot via s-records
- tries to be more verbose about board setup
This is still way too concise. If you write english better than me (trivial)
and know mvme68k a bit, you're welcome to help fill the blanks.
At least this is better than the existing instructions, and deraadt@ agrees.
