c130e42b2e * Delete sun3x from SUBDIR
* 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

d610c1f1cc Most of this is gone, into pmax/install. Just keep a mention that
backups are important.

f7395fddb7 Big clean up for ramdisk install kernel (don't need diskimages in
swap partitions, etc).
Mention PROM commands here instead of pmax/prep.
Better list of set retrieval methods (based on Alpha page).
Use common/sysinst.

27fa34dd96 Remove these before someone changes them. There is a common contents file
in distrib/notes/common/contents, conditionalized for the differences
between platform distributions.

851ee9e397 1) Remove all vestiges of tar from src/distrib. Use pax and appropriate
commandlines for all tar operations.  (work supplied by Matt Green)
2) Update arch/*/md.c to deal with new sysinst/run.c.  Special case
anything that needs to do a redirect or a pipe.
3) #if 0 some unused code in target.c. This code will need to be updated,
or special cased with do_system.

Big thank you to Matt for all his work on this.

7e81c41eb9 Specifically mention that NetBSD/pmax uses rzX devices for CD-ROMs and
not cdX like other NetBSD ports.

284b91ac42 Mention that it may be necessary to hand-mount a CD on /mnt2 before
starting sysinst.

Partial fix for PR bin/6307 from Terry R. Friedrichsen.

From PR #6307:
	Added possibly non-working work around for 1.3.3.

	Will do more work on this when I get a CD image of a NetBSD release.

e90f3ee382 Reference the section on dd'ing a disk image into the swap
partition of an Ultrix disk in the "QUICK.INSTALL" notes.

NOTE - this isn't the best solution.  The INSTALL notes need
to be totally rewritten, but at least now there's a pointer
to the referred section.

Fixes PR port-pmax/6299 from Terry R. Friedrichsen.

appear when disklabeling old Ultrix disks.

58405d0f56 Mention that Ultrix doesn't have rock ridge extenstions so some paths
on a CD-ROM will be truncated/mungled.
