by checking uname, or the BOOTMODEL environment var), and set
the kernel setname accordingly for some bootmodels (tiny and laptop),
to install GENERIC_TINY and GENERIC_LAPTOP respectively. There's
no sense in installing plain GENERIC, especially on "tiny" systems;
it may not even make it far enough to add swapspace on 4M machines.

enabling and disabling swap. Enabling swap is currently only
done by the i386 port on systems with <= 8M of physical memory.
If a user re-enters the install procedure through the main menu,
and the target disk has an active swap partition, try to disable it,
warning the user that this might lead to 'out of swap' problems,
making a restart necessary. This should not happen very often.
Partly based on comments by Simon Burge.
rather over the top. Not doing this also means that test(1) can
be omitted from the ramdisks (for scripts it's not needed, because it
is built in to sh(1)).
that "your hard disk" is about to get nuked, and you are no longer sure
which of your ten disks you told sysinst to wipe?
Change this to tell you:
``Ok, we are now ready to install NetBSD on your hard disk (wd0). Nothing ...''
'rc_configured' is still changed via sed's s///, wscons=yes is appended
via "echo >>".
* make target-routines (target_expand(), and whatnot) work if no root
disk was selected. With this, sysinst can now be used on a "normal"
system to adjust the system's timezone. Use the entry in the "Utilities"
menu for that.
Both changes were tested by a full i386 installation.

Took some digging to find out that aparently all selection boxes default

orts. Since port specific information is in appropriate arch/.../md.h
bsddisklabel.c is currently #included by arch/.../md.c.
I'm not totally happy about this, but my concience is somewhat salved by the
overall reduction in breakage.
Initially only pmax, sparc, vax and x68k are using bsddisklabel.c.
While I'm here adjust defs.h for more than eight partitions in a generic
fashion.
partitions under any circumstances, allow no swap, do not *overwrite* /usr
when listing additional partitions, and try to abstract at least most of the
magic numbers to #defines at the top.
Also sync up as much as possible to make this easier in future.
Still need to attack the other arch's md.c files.
