e0695f4133 installation: add section about unattended/automatic installation
Mention and briefly explain it. The main part of the documentation will
live in the Wiki for now as it applies to not just Proxmox VE.

eb638de418 installation: reword nomodeset section a bit, add link to it
The `nomodeset` section needs some massaging due to the text flow being
broken a bit. While at it, link to it above at the 'Terminal UI'
bootloader tip such that readers can find it more easily.

8cfa5e4c65 installation: zfs-options: improve & align wording with pmg-docs
These changes are the result of basically "diffing" both documentations,
choosing the better prased/sounding sections. Some wording were also
slightly changed as necessary to further improve them.

The equivalent changes will be done for pmg-docs too, to ensure they are
really the same in the end.

7c73a2099c tree-wide: unify spelling of GRUB and systemd-boot
Especially for GRUB there were a myriad of different casing variants
(e.g. grub, Grub, GRUB), so unify them, with GRUB being the official
casing.

For systemd-boot, fix an instance where it was not typeset as
monospace, like everywhere else.

83a43f6ee8 installation: add section about booting with nomodeset
As the grub entry specific to this was removed with the 8.1 release, add
a separate section for this to link users too.

Unfortunaly it is relatively often needed, due to very old or very new
hardware, or when Nvidia cards are installed.

8668bfdff9 installation: note that TUI uses same code and use thumbnail attribute
The thumbnail attribute is our preferred way to include those
screenshots, but it requires to be inside a paragraph to be replaced, and
having an admonition directly below the attribute doesn't makes it
part of a paragraph.

So, add a bit of text, which was warranted anyway, allowing us to use
the thumbnail attr again.

31df4fee04 fix wiki-special link to "USB installation"
this was broken twice but in one rollout:
* one commit fixed the grammar from "Install from USB Stick" to
  "Install from a USB Flash Drive"
* then a followup comment renamed the whole thing "Prepare
  Installation Media" as also other medias where handled (shortly)

The wiki link breakage isn't really detctable until rolled out on
mediawiki, and it's a bit of an obscure thing anyway..

44ea3fd62a rename "usbstick" to "installation media" and move before wizard
Besides the fact that "usb stick" is germaenglisch it allows to move
that section up which brings the chapter in a better order, as one
needs to prepare the installation media before they can use the
installer itself ;-)
