[slackware-sparcdevel] new root images soon

OK, right now the tree is getting new CHECKSUMS files created, so as soon
as that's done, I can sync out.

I've gone to two root images:

   color.gz Regular system console support, serial console support
              disabled.

   serial.gz Same as color.gz but has system console support disabled
              and serial support enabled.

These might not remain, but for now it seems like the best way to handle
things.

This opens up a new problem: the tftp images. Right now there are two,
one for SPARC and one for UltraSPARC. They contain the color.gz image. I
may have to start offering four images...one for each CPU and one for each
root image. But I'll cross that bridge later.

Check the ChangeLog to see when the new root images are in the tree. I'm
going to force an ISO rebuild, so you may want to wait for that to finish
to (I'll send out an email when that's done).
