- move "MD instructions on setting up boot media" 

from common/xfer with messy mdoc .if conditionals
  into MD xfer files so that developers can see
  what contents are missing or obsolete and should be
  written or updated
- remove some useless MD description for maintainability

XXX: still a bunch of unmaintained .if \n [${MACHINE}] in common files

To use the boot floppy, insert the floppy to your floppy drive 0,
and reboot your computer with OPT.1 key pressed.
.Pp
If you have less than 5MB of memory, you have to use the
`floppy-root' installation system instead of the above
`ramdisk-root' installation system.
`Floppy-root' installation
system is composed of two floppies, `kern' and `inst'.
They are made from the floppy images
.Pa kern.fs
and
.Pa inst.fs
respectively, both of which are found in
.Pa installation/floppy
directory of the
.Nx
distribution.
The
.Pa inst.fs
file needs to be uncompressed from
.Pa inst.fs.gz
using the provided
.Ic gzip.x
program with the
.Fl d
switch.
See above how to write the images to floppies.
.Pp
To start the `floppy-root' installation system, insert the `kern' floppy
to your floppy drive 0, and reboot your computer with OPT.1 key pressed.
When you are prompted that `Insert file system floppy and press return.',
replace the `kern' floppy with `inst' floppy and press return key.
.Pp
Once booted, the `floppy-root' installation system is identical with
the `ramdisk-root' installation system, except that the former constantly
accesses the floppy disk.
Floppy disks are relatively unreliable media and cause some warning messages
to report access errors, most of which are corrected and can be ignored.
With the latter installation system the floppy disk is not used once the
system has booted off and can be removed from the drive.
.Pp
.(Note
The `floppy-root' installation system cannot be used to install
.Nx*M
on a machine with less than 5MB of memory.
.Note)

Note that if you are installing or upgrading from writable media,
it can be write-protected if you wish.
These systems mount a root image from inside the kernel, and will not
need to write to the media.
If you booted from a floppy, the floppy disk may be removed from
the drive after the system has booted.

.(Note
.Nx*M
\*V
does not support framebuffers other than onboard ones on
EWS4800/350, EWS4800/360AD and EWS4800/360ADII so
you have to use serial console on installation procedure
if your machine doesn't have supported framebuffers listed above.
.Note)
.Pp
You will need to have
two 1.44 MB floppy disks
to boot off.
You must put the boot floppy image onto this disk, which contains
software to install
.Nx
system.
.Pp
If you are using a
.Ul
system (such as
.Tn EWS-UX
or other
.Nx
machines) to write the floppy images to disks, you should use the
.Xr dd 1
command to copy the file system image(s)
(.fs file(s)) directly to the raw floppy disk.
.Pp
If you have an i386 machine which runs
.Tn Microsoft Windows
and use it to write the floppy image(s) to floppy disk, you can use the
.Ic Rawrite32
Windows32 program.
It can be installed by
Pa rawr32.exe
provided in the
.Pa i386/installation/misc/
directory of the
.Nx
distribution.
.Ic rawrite
utility for the
.Tn MS-DOS
environment is also available in the
.Pa i386/installation/misc/
directory.
.Pp
Though
.Nx*M
uses the floppy disk to boot for the initial
installation, the
.Nx*M
kernel does not support the
floppy device.
Some other machines or systems are still required to write floppy images
even after
.Nx*M
has been installed.
.Pp
If your machine doesn't have any SCSI disks, or the SCSI interface
on your machine is not supported, it can still run
.Nx*M
diskless.
No file transfer is needed, and all you have to do is to prepare files on
the server.
More information about diskless setups can be found at
.Lk http://www.NetBSD.org/docs/network/netboot/
.Pp
The PROM uses the ordinary tftp protocol, so
you can load bootloader via network.
The PROM also supports tape boot but
.Nx*M
does not support it currently.
.Pp
After the boot floppy or diskless server is prepared, just set
boot device on the PROM menu which can be invoked by pressing ESC key
right after hardware checks.

.(Note
.Nx*M
\*V
does not support any framebuffers (yet) so
you have to use serial console on installation procedure.
.Note)
.Pp
You will need to have
a 1.44 MB floppy disk
to boot off.
You must put the boot floppy image onto this disk, which contains
software to install
.Nx
system.
.Pp
If you are using a
.Ul
system (such as
.Tn NEWS-OS
or other
.Nx
machines) to write the floppy images to disks, you should use the
.Xr dd 1
command to copy the file system image(s)
(.fs file(s)) directly to the raw floppy disk.
.Pp
If you have an i386 machine which runs
.Tn Microsoft Windows
and use it to write the floppy image(s) to floppy disk, you can use the
.Ic Rawrite32
Windows32 program.
It can be installed by
Pa rawr32.exe
provided in the
.Pa i386/installation/misc/
directory of the
.Nx
distribution.
.Ic rawrite
utility for the
.Tn MS-DOS
environment is also available in the
.Pa i386/installation/misc/
directory.
.Pp
Though
.Nx*M
uses the floppy disk to boot for the initial
installation, the
.Nx*M
kernel does not support the
floppy device.
Some other machines or systems are still required to write floppy images
even after
.Nx*M
has been installed.
.Pp
If your machine doesn't have any SCSI disks, or the SCSI interface
on your machine is not supported, it can still run
.Nx*M
diskless.
No file transfer is needed, and all you have to do is to prepare files on
the server.
More information about diskless setups can be found at
.Lk http://www.NetBSD.org/docs/network/netboot/
.Pp
The
.Tn NEWS
PROM also supports tape boot and network boot, but
.Nx*M
does not support them currently.
.Pp
After the boot floppy is prepared, just type
.Ic "bo fh"
on the PROM prompt to boot it.

.\" ---------- MD instructions on setting up boot media
.
First-time installation on a bare machine is not supported, because most
DECstations do not have any suitable load device.
Some versions of the DECstation PROM are buggy and will not boot via
.Tn TFTP
and bootp; other versions are buggy and do not boot via
.Tn MOP .
.Pp
The only DECstation with a floppy-disk drive is the Personal DECstation,
and that device is not supported as a boot device.
.Pp
The recommended installation procedure is to boot an install kernel
via
.Tn TFTP ,
or to use a
.Dq helper
system to write a miniroot diskimage onto a disk, move that
disk to the target installation system, and then boot the miniroot.

If you choose the first method,
you have to put the compressed installation kernel
.Pa netbsd-INSTALL.gz ,
the

utility and the
.Pa gzip.x
utility to a disk accessible from Human68k.
These files can be found in the
.Pa x68k/binary/kernel
directory or
.Pa x68k/installation/misc
directory of the

distribution.
The

.Dl Ic "gzip.x -d netbsd-INSTALL.gz"
.Dl Ic "loadbsd.x netbsd-INSTALL"
.Pp
from the
.Tn Human68k
command line.
.Pp
If you choose the second method, you have to make the boot floppy
from the floppy image
.Pa sysinst.fs .
The image file can be found in
.Pa x68k/installation/floppy
directory of the
.Nx
distribution.
.Pp
If you are using a
.Ul
system to write the floppy image to
disks, you should use the
.Pa dd
command to copy the file system images (.fs files) directly to the raw
floppy disks.
It is suggested that you read the
.Xr dd 1
manual page or
ask your system administrator to determine the correct set of
arguments to use; it will be slightly different from system to system,
and a comprehensive list of the possibilities is beyond the scope of
this document.
.Pp
If you are using
.Tn Human68k
to write the floppy images to disks, you should use the
.Ic rawrite
utility, provided in the
.Pa x68k/installation/misc
directory of the
.Nx
distribution.
PC versions can be found in
.Pa i386/installation/misc .
It will write the file system images (.fs files) to disks.
.Pp
To use the boot floppy, insert the floppy to your floppy drive 0,
and reboot your computer with OPT.1 key pressed.
.Pp
If you have less than 5MB of memory, you have to use the
`floppy-root' installation system instead of the above
`ramdisk-root' installation system.
`Floppy-root' installation
system is composed of two floppies, `kern' and `inst'.
They are made from the floppy images
.Pa kern.fs
and
.Pa inst.fs
respectively, both of which are found in
.Pa installation/floppy
directory of the
.Nx
distribution.
The
.Pa inst.fs
file needs to be uncompressed from
.Pa inst.fs.gz
using the provided
.Ic gzip.x
program with the
.Fl d
switch.
See above how to write the images to floppies.
.Pp
To start the `floppy-root' installation system, insert the `kern' floppy
to your floppy drive 0, and reboot your computer with OPT.1 key pressed.
When you are prompted that `Insert file system floppy and press return.',
replace the `kern' floppy with `inst' floppy and press return key.
.Pp
Once booted, the `floppy-root' installation system is identical with
the `ramdisk-root' installation system, except that the former constantly
accesses the floppy disk.
Floppy disks are relatively unreliable media and cause some warning messages
to report access errors, most of which are corrected and can be ignored.
With the latter installation system the floppy disk is not used once the
system has booted off and can be removed from the drive.
.Pp
.(Note
The `floppy-root' installation system cannot be used to install
.Nx*M
on a machine with less than 5MB of memory.
