So i think there are a couple of issues with this.

I think the instructions here should be more generic rather than focused on therock. Having instructions on how to use a rocm installation in a random folder to compile llamacpp is valuable, but i dont think we should be recommending people install a development preview of rocm as the first choice, thats asking for trouble.

I think this should be: use these cmake variables pointing to your rocm installation. The installation of rocm itself is out of scope for this document and we should just provide links to external documentation, with the offical amd provided binaries as the first mentioned method.
