 1.13 10-Feb-2011  jym Reinstate INSTALL kernel for embedded ramdisk installs.

Reasons being:
- INSTALL is GENERIC with an embedded ramdisk, and as such, can benefit from
features included within.
- INSTALL_FLOPPY has its own config(5) file, and is tailored for "small"
floppy images; it misses features/drivers that could be needed to boot
in a decent environment for recent x86 machines (like ACPI)
- makes it closer to floppies distrib available for amd64

While here, comment out INSTALL_FLOPPY and bootfloppy-big image build. NetBSD
does not use the 3.6MiB image for El Torito cdroms anymore.

Remove the FLOPPYMAX limit; i386 needs 4 floppies now. Modify boot.cfg and
release/contents to reflect reality.

See http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-i386/2011/02/08/msg002307.html

No comments, no objections.
 1.12 30-Apr-2008  ad branches: 1.12.16;
For PR kern/38537:

- Make MULTIPROCESSOR mandatory on i386.

Installation changes:

- Update installation section of release notes to match reality.
- Rename INSTALL to INSTALL_FLOPPY, retire INSTALL_LARGE.
- Build INSTALL kernel from GENERIC, like on amd64.
- Update boot menu to allow disabling ACPI and/or SMP.
- Remove GENERIC.NOACPI from the installed kernel list.
- TODO: install default boot.cfg in etc.tgz.
- TODO: possibly enable PCI fixup stuff at runtime if ACPI is disabled.

Build changes:

- No longer build ALL, it's for verification, is slow to build and the
build process is already crippled by the number of kernels built.
- No longer build GENERIC.NOACPI.

Per consensus on tech-install, take "bootN.fs" and "boot-comN.fs" to three
floppies. (The build is broken again without this.) "boot-big1.fs", from
the same ramdisk as "bootN.fs", still just fits in 2880KB by virtue of the
fact that the 9KB of padding is only added once per floppy image.
 1.10 18-Nov-2002  lukem Consistently use "netbsd-XXXXX" instead of "netbsd.XXXXX".
 1.9 14-Oct-2002  lukem Merge kernel-ramdisk & kernel-rescue into instkernel, now that
../../common/Makefile.mdset supports building multiple copies of the
same kernel (as long as they're to separate filenames).
Now there's no need to set FLOPPYKERNDIR, as it now defaults to instkernel.
 1.8 16-Apr-2002  lukem - Convert to using distrib/common/buildfloppies.sh, which can build both
single and multi-volume floppies in better fashion that the crufty
shell commands in the various Makefiles.
- Move fdset* -> bootfloppy*, as that's more consistent
 1.7 27-Sep-2000  fvdl Remove old files in preparation of rearrangement.
 1.6 05-May-2000  mycroft branches: 1.6.4;
Merge latest build system changes, and use the kernels built in ramdisk-kernel.
 1.5 02-May-2000  sjg use bsd.kernobj.mk to tell us KERNOBJDIR for compiled kernels.
 1.4 23-Mar-1999  drochner allow to set location of INSTALL kernel from command line so that
bootfloppies can be built with r/o /usr/src or with other kernels
