Update the amd64 and i386 examples to use /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv2, 

i.e. DEFAULT_UFS2 as src/distrib/utils/sysinst/bsddisklabel.c does
since post-NetBSD5.  This avoids rendering an i386 or amd64 system
unbootable if the given example is thoughtlessly cut-and-pasted on
a NetBSD6.x system (been there, done that ;-) Qualify the descriptions
of /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv{1,2} along those lines.

Fixed a small typo in comment of distrib/utils/sysinst/arch/amd64/md.h.
