Change install images called *.fs to *.img. These are UFS filesystem images,
but additionally have a bootblock in the first 8K (since UFS does not use that
space). There are some UEFI direct-from-internet bootloaders that require
the name *.img. So this makes things more convenient for those, while keeping
it consistant in all architectures.

Missing `unattended installation' chunk.

Unify the model name to LUNA-88K{,2}, that is considered the
`official' name.

you are still welcome to install from tape, but as befits an elite master
of unix arcana, we will not condescend to tell you how. why spoil the fun?

Build a small miniroot filesystem which can be dumped on a new disk or an
existing swap partition for an easier initial installation.

Update installation notes to match reality: kernel needs to be loaded by the
boot blocks now, which - for now - disables tape boot. Also belatedly mention
bsd.mp

Jumbo commit for 4.7 installation instructions:
- do not mention tape as an installation media on systems where it is very
unlikely that a tape drive can be connected to (i.e. anything with only
USB as expansion capabilities)
- do not mention that fetching the installation sets from a partition is
``for upgrades only''. You may do this for installation, but of course
you can not use a partition which will be newfs'ed for that purpose.
- mention ext2fs partitions as possible installation sets source only on
platforms where the installation media actually can mount an ext2fs
filesystem.
- stress the fact that the sparc miniroot image is a GENERIC kernel with
a little on-disk filesystem, and not a RAMDISK kernel with a little
in-memory filesystem, and thus must not be overwritten during installation
(i.e. be careful if you repartition the disk the miniroot has been put on).
- more conv=sync -> conv=osync for tape setup instructions.
- model-specific layout changes on armish, loongson and socppc instructions.
- fix various typos and grammar mistaeks.

Better disk partitioning details, especially for MBR + disklabel or
HFS + disklabel setups.

Try to catch up with installer changes in the installation notes.
Also, the per-platform features are moved to a common place, which makes
the MD layout easier to work on. m4.common is still a tangle

Try to catch up with installer changes in the installation notes.
Also, the per-platform features are moved to a common place, which makes

Better description of the installation steps:
- document questions in proper order: hostname before network configuration,
DNS only if network is configured, sshd and ntpd, aperture only on
machines which need it, serial console only on machines which need it.
This is done by splitting the end of OpenBSDCommonURL in various
macros, OpenBSDInstallWrapup, OpenBSDInstallAperture, OpenBSDInstallConsole
and OpenBSDInstallWrapupPart2.
- use the above macros when appropriate, OpenBSDInstallWrapup* being
mandatory on all arches.
- remove serial console configuration blurb on sparc and sparc64, it is
handled by OpenBSDInstallConsole now.

Suggest vt220 as a TERM value for serial-console-in-an-xterm setup everywhere
instead of a mix of vt100 and vt220.

Your spring jumbo m4-fu. This time:
- mention comp contains an objective-C compiler too.
- rewrite InstallPrelude so that it will only output the ``know your drive
geometry'' blurb if asked to, and for a specified disk type. Use it for
non-IDE and non-SCSI disks only, otherwise the kernel is good enough to
do the job without the users' help.
- similarily, adapt BootMsgs to make the second part of the geometry blurb
optional, and to accept up to three disk types. Use this to report better
disk names (i.e. no point saying an scsi disk would show up as sd0 on
platforms which can't have scsi disks, or won't be able to boot from them).
- in InstallPart4, drop the part about block and fragment sizes in
disklabel. The defaults are good, and you won't get to change them unless
you switched to expert mode.
- the default answer to ``wanna get the ftp mirror list, unzel?'' is ``no'',
so pressing enter to get it is not enough anymore (-:

Sync tape install details with the install script, mostly a numbering
change for files on the tape.
