Log Message:
Update for 2.0:
 * Fix a few paths and grammar
 * VAX can install from CD-ROM (mmm, simh-vax :)
 * Add note to unzip inst.fs.gz file before using, on x68k
   (XXX someone please check!)
 * properly .if the region about floppy being allowed to be write-protected
   (seems not applicable to x68k by the comments)
 * Add a few likely places where the distribution is on CD-ROMs
 * Mention that DHCP is an alternative to remembering IP-numbers
 * Update list of available IDE drives to four (wd[0-3]) and
   five SCSI disks (sd[0-4]).
   XXX please review for hp300, pmax, sgimips, sparc, sparc64 and
       maybe remove the ".if!" above that paragraph
 * Mention etcupdate for a way to update the etc set

Todo: XXX
 * Provide split sets - it's documented and supported by sysinst
   (or say how to create them?)
 * Fix mentions of "set_name.xx" for the AmigaDOS installation
 * x68k: fix to tell where to get "netbsd" from (how to run gzip.x on
   netbsd-INSTALL.gz on the x86k's native OS?)
 * Someone please either re-summon PS/2 "boot-ps2.fs" or remove the note on it
 * Tape install:
        .Dl # Ic "cd \*M/binary"
        .Dl # Ic "tar -cf" Ar tape_device Ic "misc etc kern"
   That doesn't work with today's set format (binary/sets/misc.tgz ...)
