a5c0fa3864 Based on feedback (various), remove the .toc files from CVS, 
and instead generate them each and every time (twice!).
Based on a suggestion from Alan Barrett, allow setting MAKETOC=no
to permit rebuilding the install notes without regenerating the
.toc files, to allow more speedy debugging of markup changes.

b03b643f37 Major overhaul. Cleaned up a lot of explanations, clarified instructions, 
provided more detail when necessary and removed extraneous instructions.

hardware: totally revamped to be more readable and include all known
supported hardware, now matches htdocs/Ports/sparc/hardware.html

install: new section on CD-ROM, netboot has instructions on setting up a
NetBSD server, removed disklabel instructions (miniroot/sysboot's
instructions are clear enough and have error-checking anyways)

prep: reorganized, put in cleaner explanation of SCSI target remapping on
OpenBOOT PROM 1 machines, put in instructions on how to figure out names
ROM uses for SCSI device, put in info about 100BaseTX network cards

upgrade: now points to ../common/upgrade
