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.

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.

eb91fb2910 Warn that messages about "using ULTRIX label information" may
appear when disklabeling old Ultrix disks.

Fixes PR port-pmax/6300 from Terry Friedrichsen.

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

Don't use -r "" to invoke sysinst for the release.
