Move common/contents file into MD dirs again.
I know it isn't a good thing to have many copy-and-pasted contents
(set file descriptions etc) in all MD files, but it's much more annoying
to maintain a bunch of .if \n [${MACHINE}] conditionals for all ports
and maintainers rarely notice that they also have to prepare or update
MD contents in MI content file with messy ifdefs.

XXX: of course common text should be shared by mdoc macro etc.
but I doubt playing mdoc(7) is really worth...

merge port-specific legal sections into the common file. most of these

It's possible to launch the installation kernel by double-clicking it now.

Fix a couple of .Pa that should have been .Pp.

Correct another reference to BtNetBSD.zip.
Also spell "RISC OS" consistently and correctly throughout.

BtNetBSD is shipped as a Spark archive complete with RISC OS file types now,
which simplifies things considerably.

Fix sources of software.

boot32 can boot gzipped kernels (when it works at all), so there's no need
to require a standalone gunzip.

Fix a couple of error flagged by mdoc.

formatting and whitespace cleanups

Correct the URL for David Pilling's Web site.

branches: 1.2.2;
Convert the bulk of the prep.RISCOS file into -mdoc. This is a purely
syntactic conversion -- the semantics should be exactly the same.

I haven't yet converted section 5 (advanced stuff), appendix A (device
naming) or appendix B (credits), and mdoc, even the souped-up version used
for INSTALL, seems to be lacking a fourth-level header macro, which this
wants.

Of course, the presence of fourth-level headers does somewhat indicate that
this whole area wants cleaning up lots.
