PR/13749 - Incorrect options specified for dd(1) in tape installs.

Cleanup dd options accordingly to the following policy:
1) put if, of, bs, conv in this order
2) for reading/writing from/to disk don't use sync
4) reading from tape - use sync
3) writing to tape - use osync

Noted by Don Yuniskis (auryn at gci-net.com) via install/13749. Thanks!
Reviewed by <martin>. Thank you!

Update text since there are now three install floppies. It's
written to cover the 2-floppy case as well, so if this file is
updated later with delta's needed on netbsd-2-0, this one revision
does not need to be excluded.
