6d3ceb1d61 Rename NetBSD/hp700 to NetBSD/hppa. 
Unfortunately our VCS isn't very helpful here.

095ac4e735 Some FAT16 filesystems don't have 'hidden sectors' correctly set to 
the offset of the filesystem on the disk.
Let '-b s1blk' be used to fix the value.

bdf0a8da40 Use "NetBSD 6.0" and not "NetBSD 6" and sound less like a broken record. 
Add note where the actual example is because that's where it's expected.

7964aa2984 Update the amd64 and i386 examples to use /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv2, 
i.e. DEFAULT_UFS2 as src/distrib/utils/sysinst/bsddisklabel.c does
since post-NetBSD5.  This avoids rendering an i386 or amd64 system
unbootable if the given example is thoughtlessly cut-and-pasted on
a NetBSD6.x system (been there, done that ;-) Qualify the descriptions
of /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv{1,2} along those lines.

Fixed a small typo in comment of distrib/utils/sysinst/arch/amd64/md.h.

Caution that installing a new primary bootstrap will reset options to
default values.

79f027bbd6 On i386/amd64, define two flag bits in the boot parameters which control 
whether modules are loaded and whether boot.cfg is evaluated, and
set both to "off" per default in the PXE bootloader.
Extend "installboot" to toggle the bits.
This way, pxeboot works with existing dhcp server setups (and as
described in the manpage) out of the box. Also, boot.cfg reading
involves a stat() call which is horribly inefficient with the
TFTP pseudo file system.

d8a2ffd59a Try to improve documentation of the fact that the primary bootstrap is 
specified using a file name on the running system, while the secondary
bootstrap is specified using a file name relative to the root of the
file systrem in which the installation is being performed.

486d411937 Add a -f (force) parameter to installboot(8). 
If specified then checks on the disks BPB are not done, and any existing BPB

This is needed soince newfs(8) doesn't overwrite the BPB - which is basically
the FAT superblock.

e0e1f6caed Don't try to determine the type of the target filesystem unless a second

the bios to be used.
