- Change a section id to something closer to the real content of the

Browse source 
section (s/install-floppies/install-boot-media) to ease the read of
  the file;
- Some rewordings for i386 boot part to mention USB stick media.  I let
  floppies part since it's still correct for 7.X;
- Updates of some boot messages (still a work in progress);
- Add a screenshot for the keyboard selection at sysinstall(8) start
  which occurs if United States is not selected for the country.
