cac2a38938 Document that alpha install CDs are now bootable. No need to muck
around with floppies. Also document (for lack of a more appropriate place/file)
the problems the installer has when other disks are present with a BSD
disk label on them. Please remove this warning when the problem is fixed.

Also, clarify a comment with proper comma placement.
