Installworld failed

[Russell Haley]

There is also a little tidbit in a previous email about setting up NFS
to work with u-boot. And there is nothing in there about getting
u-boot from ports. I added myself as a wiki user yesterday, but I
don't have any edit permissions. I'd be happy to update things, but
without using the wiki markup (i.e. update it offline) I would be
concerned about losing the formatting. Perhaps I could be given a
duplicate page I could update for someone to approve?
