a7a7cef6ad - revert part of previous: .Key is a macro defined in ../common/macros,
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)

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
