mbw 7f085e921a Describe how to install onto a drive that will also be used by MacOS (such
as most of the post-1998 models).

Also reminder about reversed MAC address on early models (macppc/install).

mbw 390cedba3c added "" around various tags (.Em, .Sq, .Li) that were missing.
this cleans up the HTML version a lot.

jhawk 0b77fde7a2 Revert 1.20 for now. The two column macro is clearly still buggy and

mbw 3b5568e369 By popular demand.
I've organized the topics by Open Firmware version, since many users found
the old scheme way too confusing (clause out Open Firmware version-specific
content).

It's still really confusing to read (particularly the .txt version which
doesn't adequately distinguish headings from the body)

Also added a bit more info on partitioning vs. OF version.

Remove .Pp between items. Now runs

because each item was a single sentence anyhow.
