>Description:
	The ARC port has no INSTALL document.  This makes it
	difficult when doing an install on a system -- what
	partition arrangement is needed?  Where does the kernel
	have to go?  What ARC Console environment variables
	should I set?

	What's the best way to install when NT isn't on the
	machine (or when NT 4 crashes consistently during
	installation, FEH).

	...you get the idea.

 Log Message:
 First cut at INSTALL notes for NetBSD/arc.
 Finally we could close another ancient PR port-arc/11443.

 After several years, we got the native bootloader and then had
 sysinst which would do apprpriate partitioning for the bootloader,
 so I've noted the last difficult part, how to specify boot commands
 on the ARC BIOS.

 I still wonder how many possible users of NetBSD/arc are there
 who will need this topic though... ;-p
