- mention comp contains an objective-C compiler too.
- rewrite InstallPrelude so that it will only output the ``know your drive
geometry'' blurb if asked to, and for a specified disk type. Use it for
non-IDE and non-SCSI disks only, otherwise the kernel is good enough to
do the job without the users' help.
- similarily, adapt BootMsgs to make the second part of the geometry blurb
optional, and to accept up to three disk types. Use this to report better
disk names (i.e. no point saying an scsi disk would show up as sd0 on
platforms which can't have scsi disks, or won't be able to boot from them).
- in InstallPart4, drop the part about block and fragment sizes in
disklabel. The defaults are good, and you won't get to change them unless
you switched to expert mode.
- the default answer to ``wanna get the ftp mirror list, unzel?'' is ``no'',
so pressing enter to get it is not enough anymore (-:

real disklabels on HP-IB disks, actually) and will confuse mere mortals.
- install a gzipped version of bsd.rd, boots faster from network and not much
slower from local disk, and our bootloaders groks gzipped files since a very
long time already.

This mainly includes an hopefully helpful section about i386 upgrades, which
I urge knowledgeable people and native english speakers to check out, in
order to polish it soon enough.

image for alpha, consistent spelling of CD-ROM, and a few minor updates not
worth mentioning I had lying in my tree.

via ifconfig -m, there is no need to suggest canonical media flags on
some arches, especially since the end user might have a different
interface with different flags; instead, be more cosy and mention that
looking at the manual page for the interface might be helpful for
desperate cases.
Thus, merge the OpenBSDInstallNet and OpenBSDInstallNet2 macros, and
remove thde in-between text for the arches that had such a paragraph.

to boot spontaneously after a system upgrade, instead of requiring manual
intervention and bootloader via rboot.
I blame the old bootblocks for the inconvenience.
Thus the "only id 4, 5 and 6 for boot" notice is null and void, so remove
it.

- mentions that the 425e is supported, but only using a serial console
- reminds people to switch 400 models to HP-UX mode

better place

While there, remove a duplicated sentence on hp300 and add the complete
