On sparc64, installboot(8) does not deal with any file system; its -p is a
NOOP and according to CVS history the old sys/arch/sparc64/installboot/
never prepared a file system, either.
Remove this single misleading mention alltogether and rely on the now
consistently cross-linked MI installboot(8) for details, if any.
This syncs the list of currently existing MD boot_*(8/*) pages with the list
of usr.sbin/installboot/*_installboot.c files.
boot_alpha(8/alpha) already references installboot(8) but still uses
sys/arch/alpha/stand/installboot/ instead of usr.sbin/installboot/.
boot_luna88k(8/luna88k) exists but luna88k does not use installboot at all.
installboot(8) has additional support for efi (armv7, arm64, riscv64),
landisk, loongson, octeon and powerpc64 but those architectures currently
lack their own MD boot_*(8/*) manual.

In boot_macppc(8), the current format a) claims to support specific disk/MBR
partitions which ofwboot clearly does not parse as such and b) lacks markup
to make clear which optional parts can (not) be omitted in what way.
Fixing both turns
promdev:partition/filename options
into
[[promdev:]filename] [-acds]
Same goes for boot(8/macppc), which has been apparently has been copied
from boot(8/amd64) without accounting for all platform specific details.
On amd64, biosboot(8) sees disks as 'sd' which (accidentially?) matches the
kernel driver's sd(4) name; it also supports specific disklabel(5) slices,
so amd64 can do 'sd0a:/bsd'.
On macppc, disks show up as 'ide', 'cd' or 'hd' which stems from
OpenFirmware alone, not matching the wd(4) driver's name. Also, ofwboot
always boots off the 'a' label, so macppc can only do 'hd:/bsd'.
Found while installing OpenBSD/macppc from CD inside QEMU but failing to
boot from disk inside QEMU and consulting our manual pages for help wrt.
specifying a boot device. Turns out QEMU's OpenBIOS simply cannot boot from
MSDOS filesystems (thanks gkoehler), so it wouldn't work no matter what
boot file specification I'd use.

unused for now, but I plan to convert all programs in base to use it in
a future diff. /dev/bpf0 is for compatibility with existing binaries
and is to be removed after a transition period.

That's what scares me.

and make it clear where to type the example instruction;
ok jmc@ on a similar version of this diff;
in addition, Jan Stary reports he has a machine where "ok" is not the prompt
|

and mark up Open Firmware variables and sysctl variables using .Va;

Updated to include the midi(4) addition in sparc64.

instead, .It is required. Thus, move .Pp and text before the .Bl,
and remove the .Pp altogether where it is not needed.
Syntax errors found by mandoc(1), also required to fix the mandoc build;
feedback and ok jmc@, and sobrado@ also supports the direction.
