6e8f43ccd0 Increase minimum RAM requirement for installation to 96MB. 
On 9.3 & 10.3 (both amd64 builds) whilst the kernel boots & installer runs with
such an amount, the installer fails when attempting to extract a set.
On 11 it's not actually possible to boot the kernel with less than 96MB (amd64)
or 92MB (i386).
Tested using VirtualBox not actual hardware.

90c4d9e9c6 Use an uppercase "M" for megabytes in the dd(1) example. This still 
works on FreeBSD, but is less surprising to Linux users.

reduce the total amount of text and make it more explicit what the minimum and

3caff462a6 Minimum Hardware Requirements: installation instructions 
Sacrifice some technical pedanticness to simplify the description of amd64 and
i386.  For the users whom are actually confused as to which system they should
use, using more plain language (such as 32-bit vs 64-bit) and referencing the
vendors directly would be more helpful.

Also, stop mentioning that both UP and SMP are supported.  OpenBSD finished that
project in 2004.

users are told not to use identical labels, we can remove one source
