OFW sad face doesn't say why

[John Watlington]

While Startup_Diagnosis was the repository for that information in
the past, the relevant bits for the vast majority of users/repairpeople
have been moved to XO_Troubleshooting_PowerOn and I stopped
linking to Startup_Diagnosis (which was left as a developer resource.)

Much thanks to the authors of Startup_Diagnosis.

Cheers,
wad
