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.

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.
