a5d73e00eb Rework the MBR code, and some of the labelling code.
* Use structures, not 2-dimensional arrays..
	* Use the DIOCGDEFLABEL ioctl to get the disk information,
	  to avoid confusion with (older) labels.
	* Don't ever call fdisk for partitioning. This was the
	  source of much confusion.
	* For the i386, use the BIOS geometry information passed by
	  the bootblocks.

Lots of things left to do, but it's a start.

5a662afa53 A few more ideas. Clean SIGINT handling, loading from mounted
filesystems and from maximum entropy - better error message handling

4ec8d82726 Clear up confusion of extract_dist() extract directory source. New var
ext_dir that is absolute directory name of where files are located to
extract.  All setup routines must set that directory name correctly.
Make target.c compile if DEBUG is set.

b3da2a1b88 Fix target prefixing to handle both root-in-swap (traditional miniroot)
and current-root-is-target-root (pmax diskimage.

 * Add code to check disk names (e.g., "sd0") against the current
   kern.root_device  sysctl (whic  does *not* include a partition).

 * Add new function must_mount_root():
   check to see if it's the same device as the root.  If not,
   the current and target root partitions cannot overlap.
   If they do, do statfs() on "/", and return 1 iff we get back
   "root_device" as the mounted-on filesystem, otherwise zero.

* Call must_mount_root() right after the user specifies a disk as
  install/upgrade target, and  if it returns 1, print a message asking
  them to mount root, and abort.

*  Use statfs("/")  mounted_from string to check if a disk partition
    (e.g., "sd0a") matches the current root.
