to get their systems to boot (in extreme cases)
block, as we're not using any formatting codes in here.
improve the comments and formatting of the example
- use /etc/rc.d/dhcpd restart as the example for how to restart the
dhcp server on a 1.5 box.
and it does work, so use it instead of .Dq for key names.
- use .Ic instead of .Nm for `external' commands (i.e, not those being
specifically described by this document)

clean up the various exceptions between different versions of OF

added list of what devices are supported by which versions of OF
included description of how each OF version boots
described partitioning
prep: describe how to enter OF depending on OF version
also described how to set up some important OF variables

list of common error messages and what they mean
- update for 1.5 (still more MD stuff to check)
- use new macros in ../common/macros as appropriate
- introduce some CONSISTENCY between the various ports' install docs
- use various mdoc macros as appropriate, including .Li, .Pa, .Sy, and .Ic.
- migrate more stuff into ../common/*
- whitespace cleanup
- lots of other little things i'm sure...
* The merged contents file didn't work out, so nuke it and put it back
into each port directory. Most still have the now-pointless conditionals;
these now should be deleted.
* fix alpha, amiga, and arm32 to delete the maze of twisty little conditionals
