and some sparc64 fixes. details:
- new scripting_{,v}fprintf() that also write to the script log (if open).
- support of creation of LFS filesystems
- standard installs now allow one to choose which file systems to create,
out of the list of /usr, /var, /home, MFS /tmp, and swap. a / is always
created, but the rest all optional. [*]
- new disklabel method: use existing. this requires one to fill in the
mount points (and having at least a "/" is enforced).
- preservation of existing filesystems (at install) is supported.
- rewrote most of make_fstab(): the entire thing is generated from the
bsdlabel now, rather than hard coding / to 'a' and swap to 'b'. create
MFS /tmp if requested.
- if IPv6 support isn't present, don't display any ipv6 messages.
- better rc.conf support
- sparc & sparc64 default to "cylinders" now.
- choosing "standard" instead of "standard with X" de-selects the X pkgs
by default.
- sparc64: don't install bootblocks until we have a complete system, avoids
booting with no /dev/console.
- sparc64: bump STDNEEDMB, it is way low.
[*] i have added default values for DEFVARSIZE & DEFUSRSIZE (this is used
only if /usr and /home are selected) to each port, based on STDNEEDMB. as
such, my guesses might be wrong so port maintainers should look at these.

Create md_hello message and move that message to it.

you really should not be changing the geometry values, unless they
look totally ridiculous due to some BIOS bug.
Disable manual entering of initial partition label values when doing
a custom label. The step was redundant. Just go to the label edit
directly, leaving everything but the c and d partitions empty.
seperate booleans. Add flags to run as a plain 'system()' command,
fullscreen (but on a pty), and chrooted, and implement their
functionality. Add a bit of TIOCPKT handling code to handle
programs messing with term settings better.
* Ask to set the root password at the end of an install.
* Remove a few unneeded comments.
* Sprinkle some touchwin() calls here and there to make the output cleaner.
They shouldn't really be needed, but even normal usage (no syslog
messages) even left the screen messy sometimes.
* Change some messages around that were apparently swapped by accident and
thus caused confusion.
"target" filesystem, i.e. a filesystem that will probably be
mounted on /mnt during install/upgrade, but will be / when
the system is booted. Needed to deal with absolute symbolic links.
This function is (unfortunately) a verbatim copy of realpath() from libc,
with prefix handling added.
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.
* Make sure to always install bootcode into the MBR (unless the user
explicitly tells us not to). Should fix PR#8887, PR#9093, PR#9999
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:

'rc_configured' is still changed via sed's s///, wscons=yes is appended

* 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.
