branches: 1.27.28;
Various updates to the install notes.

Note that re(4), ath(4), and puc(4) are known to work on sparc64.

Slight update for Xorg, a couple devices, and size requirements. Needs
some more changes.

fixup fdc entry

remove floppy drives from unsupported hardware and note that only sbus based
machines are supported for now

mention floppy drives

Note sunsolve now requires a login.

branches: 1.17.10;
0680 card is silicon image, not cmd tech

expand pci card compatability descriptions and list known working cards

Major overhaul of sparc64 install notes. Reflects currently supported
hardware and installation methods along with additional info.

branches: 1.14.2;
List more supported systems.

Sync with recent sparc64 changes.

updates per discussion with matt green

add two missing .bullet) s

clean up whitespace and formatting

Update supported hardware.

branches: 1.8.2;
Kill ncr(4), mention esiop(4).

update sparc64 (and some generic) set sizes to reality (gnu.tgz is
*much* larger for sparc64 now! :-). remove the notes that PCI kbd/ms,
sbus audiocs, and fas support don't work because they now do.

recommend 32MB as a minimum. PCIIDE cdroms work on the secondary channel,
but disks do not. add install from solaris' instructions from Murray
Stokely <murray@osd.bsdi.com>.

- sbus ethernet drivers have now been fixed
- move the pciide note

more work:
- use .Tn, .Bx, .Ul, .Key, .Sq, .Dq, .Li, .Dl, (etc) ... as appropriate
- be more consistent between various ports' install notes
- other cleanups

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...

finish porting these from the sparc versions. they are mostly correct
now though the install instructions could still do with some more work
and expansion....

branches: 1.1.2;
initial sparc64 install notes; still needs major editing to remove sparc-specific
crap and add ultrasparc specific crap.

Pullup 1.6 [mrg]:
