lukem b4d52d9d24 major terraform (this is MUCH more than a rototill :-), including:
- update for 1.5 (still more MD stuff to check)
- use new macros in ../common/macros as appropriate
- introduce some CONSISTENCY between the various ports' install docs
- use various mdoc macros as appropriate, including .Li, .Pa, .Sy, and .Ic.
- migrate more stuff into ../common/*
- whitespace cleanup
- lots of other little things i'm sure...

.(Note
Currently
.Nx*M
requires a dedicated disk when you install
it for the first time. In other words
.Nx*M
cannot be installed
on the hard disk on which Human68k or any other operating systems
reside. This is because of the poor installer, and the system itself
can share a single disk with other OSs. This problem should be fixed
in the next release.
.Note)
.Pp
What you have to do to prepare the disk is only to physically format
your hard disk by using FORMAT.x utility of Human68k to install the
master boot program on your disk. If you are not planning to use
the disk from Human68k, this step is optional.
.Pp
You can now proceed with the installation instructions.
