PR 37070.

Get rid of some superfluous "No Ns" calls before punctuation.

Substantial overhaul which splits OF versions up for clarity. Much of
what was in prep is now in prep.OPENFIRMWARE.

Substantial overhaul which splits OF versions up for clarity. Much of
what was in prep is now in prep.OPENFIRMWARE.

prep now calls prep.OPENFIRMWARE twice. The first time, it generates
documentation specific to Open Firmware 3 systems. The second pass, it
outputs OF 1.x and 2.x specific stuff. This makes it easier to follow
directions for a particular class of machines.

Someone moved the macppc boot floppy image in the distribution set to
installation/floppy/boot.fs without updating the docs.

Update macppc filenames based on files in latest snapshot (20020407).
That is, netbsd.ram.gz becomes either netbsd.INSTALL.gz or

Update macppc filenames based on files in latest snapshot (20020407).
That is, netbsd.ram.gz becomes either netbsd.INSTALL.gz or
netbsd.GENERIC_MD.gz depending on what media (and Open Firmware version).

Also, a few minor rewordings to clarify a little better.
