[PATCH 0/2] README.hardware fixes

[Paul Eggleton]

A couple of fixes for the Poky README.hardware. These should also go into the
edison branch as they are applicable there as well.


The following changes since commit 23d2eaf9d283cae47e52d1151f0d4ad53bbbe8a0:

[PATCH 1/2] README.hardware: update atom-pc instructions

[Paul Eggleton]

The -live and -directdisk images have been superseded in the Yocto
Project 1.1 release, so update the instructions for atom-pc relating to
this change. Also fix a couple of other minor atom-pc related
capitalisation.
