a6a7e77dcc Limit entries to their respective architectures. We don't need e.g. 
ISA troubleshooting in the amd64 installation guide.

Also note that amd64 and ia64 use ACPI.

a9b7593784 Mention that CDROMs have a slightly different layout than what is 
pictured here.  We might want to show a real CDROM layout here.

Also clarify that whatever's in the floppies/ directory is primarily
useful to users who actually need to boot from floppy to start an
installation.

57ee51113b Use <replaceable></replaceable> elements where appropriate for floppy 
disk names.

"Approximately three...floppies" is kind of weird to me, so substitute
"several" here instead.  We already mention that a floppy disk set
requires three disks elsewhere, so we're not really losing any
content.

7e20374de0 Revise the minimum RAM requirements to 24MB for i386 (and implicitly 
pc98).

(While here, remove mention of 80386 custom kernels since support for the
80386 has been removed from CURRENT.)

fc57475ec6 Correct the minimum RAM requirements for i386 (24 MB to install, 
12 MB to run).  These technically reflect 5.3-RELEASE figures,
but are probably closer to reality than the older numbers (8MB / 7MB).

While here, s/megs/MB/ to consistify our terminology.

24c6d97ccd Update sparc64 installation instructions. Because sysinstall now 
works on sparc64, this document can now use (almost) the same
procedures as i386, et al.  CDROM booting instructions are cut-and-pasted
from the older sparc64/install.sgml file, which is now unlinked from
the document build.

This document is a long ways from perfect, but it's better than shipping
instructions for an installation procedure that doesn't apply anymore.

While here, add some SGML comments to help others navigate the sources.

won't fall over due to missing RELNOTESng files.

1f976473de Try to make this document reflect reality better: 
o All of the Q&A entries in this section were i386-specific, so make
these conditional on building for that platform.  If
non-i386-platforms need similar Q&A lists, they can add their own to
this file.

o Coalesce the two Q&A sections into one.

o Correct some device names (wd(4) devices have not existed for quite
some time).

o Get rid of a number of obsolete entries (suggested by jhb).
