Fixed desctiptions of some options:
- Document better what the -C option means. - The -c option is currently a no-op. - The -D and -h options do not allow switching between single/dual console modes and internal/video consoles. (This used to be true for the old biosdisk boot code, but now they just force the multiple consoles mode and serial console, respectively.)
