Fix up sgimips install sections to more closely correspond to the current
state of reality: comment out O2 references since 1.6 won't support the O2, add notes on installing via a net-booted kernel, disk partitioning (disk must have IRIX volhdr, one-disk split NetBSD/IRIX install has not been tested and may/may not work). Also expand/add some examples. XXX: Should add info on the "extra" kernel sets like the INSTALL_INDY, etc. sets.
