Log Message:
Update the `Example Installation' chapter to NetBSD 8.0.

Work done by Rocky Hotas, thank you very much Rocky!

- Improved text code formatting (double space after period, text of
paragraphs never exceeding 76 columns, adjusted indentation of text inside
paragraphs and inside tags).

- All new 720x400 images with no blank lines at top or bottom; renamed
images directory to a version-independent name.

- Added the ``Disk geometry'' screen.

In particular, the following sections have been updated and improved:

- ``MBR partitions''.

- ``Disklabel partitions'', trying to avoid the ambiguity between the
selection letters a,b,c,... and the BSD disklabel partitions names a,b,c,...

- ``Choosing the installation media''. Updated subsections:

  - ``Installing from CD-ROM / DVD / install image media'': changed title,
  text and mentioned USB keys;
  - ``Installing from an unmounted file system'': mention to the way the
  path is formed from the parameters asked by sysinst(8), and to the
  available strings to form `mount_<File system>';
  - ``Installing via FTP and Network configuration'': changed title and
  updated the whole procedure and images, being it also a reference for the
  network configuration, with or without DHCP;
  - ``Installing via NFS'': improved text;

- ``System configuration'': added menu image, then showing in detail the
  most significant items with examples (updated to the current installation
  procedure). In particular, the following items have been added:

  - ``Enabling installation of binary packages'' (fetch through FTP);
  - ``Fetch and unpack pkgsrc for building from source'';
  - Mentioned all the services in the system configuration menu, with
  references to the related sections of the Guide or to the manpages;
  - Mentioned the `Add a user' item.

- Updated the "return to the NetBSD installation" after a Ctrl+Z with the
  new keys.
