Patch to version 1.7 of the Gentoo SPARC FAQ

This is a patch to version 1.7 of the Gentoo SPARC FAQ that updates and adds information under the Hardware chapter.  Let me know if I botched formatting or if there is a preferred way to generate the patch.

Revises above patch -- Weeve, your original patch was quite nice. This just fixes some prompts and sentence spacing.

However, there are a couple of really, really strange looking prompts that I'd like to double-check are correct:

<pre caption="View local-mac-address? setting from OBP">
ok <i>printenv local-mac-address?</i>
local-mac-address? =  false
</pre>
is the prompt really "ok"? I take it that this is some sort of BIOS-like screen for Sparc? And that it's equivalent to the # bash prompt. If so, then your stuff goes straight in.

Note that it is also repeated in the "Set local-mac-address" step.

Only other significant changes I made were several s/mad/mac address changes. :)
