Major overhaul. Cleaned up a lot of explanations, clarified instructions,
provided more detail when necessary and removed extraneous instructions.

hardware: totally revamped to be more readable and include all known
supported hardware, now matches htdocs/Ports/sparc/hardware.html

install: new section on CD-ROM, netboot has instructions on setting up a
NetBSD server, removed disklabel instructions (miniroot/sysboot's
instructions are clear enough and have error-checking anyways)

prep: reorganized, put in cleaner explanation of SCSI target remapping on
OpenBOOT PROM 1 machines, put in instructions on how to figure out names
ROM uses for SCSI device, put in info about 100BaseTX network cards
