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.

-MVME162:
+Before installing OpenBSD on your machine, you will want to check your
+machine's NVRAM settings.
+
+The defaults settings are usually suitable for OpenBSD; make sure the
+environment is configured in BUG mode. You can check and change this with
+the ENV command.
+
+You wil need to check that the ethernet address is correct as well, with
+the LSAD command.
+Some models also require specific preparation:
+MVME147:
+ Make sure the word at memory FFFE0764 is correct. Its value should
+ be zero if you don't have any VMEBus memory cards. You can change
+ its value with the MM command.
+
+MVME162:
Be sure to use the SET command to set the date before trying
to use the ethernet support in the 162-Bug.
-MVME162/167/177:
+If you plan to boot from the network, make sure your ENV settings match
+the following setup:
-162-Bug> env
-Local SCSI Bus Reset on Debugger Startup [Y/N] = N? y
Network Auto Boot Enable [Y/N] = N? y
Network Auto Boot at power-up only [Y/N] = Y? n
Network Auto Boot Abort Delay = 5? 2
Network Auto Boot Configuration Parameters Pointer (NVRAM) = 00000000? fffc0080
-Update Non-Volatile RAM (Y/N)? y
-Reset Local System (CPU) (Y/N)? y

- May need to set the ethernet address using the LSAD 147-Bug command.
