Description

Kinda weird copy that we wrote two years ago. Not sure we necessarily need any text here, though I can see that it makes it look nice. Also, now that I think about it, "Hardware" is an odd thing to call it since it's virtual.

https://github.com/oxidecomputer/console/blob/50a84bc136c29dfcd9411133384feefc521d97cc/app/forms/instance-create.tsx#L364-L367

Research direction

Start at app/forms/instance-create.tsx lines 364-367 and view the instance create form to inspect the current “machine type” and “Hardware” copy. Decide whether the supporting text should be removed or revised to describe virtual hardware more accurately, then verify the updated wording in the form.
