abs e1dce1bfa4 Enable basic command line editing in i386 installer shells
(Following the pattern in amd64)

When a user selects "exit installer" or hits ^Z in sysinst, the
calling install.sh runs a shell, plus shows a message indicating
they can type "exit" to return to the installer.

Add -E to the arguments to this shell, to enable command line editing,
(primarily for arrow keys, but basic emacs sequences will also work)

martin ccb8409b13 Make sure to copy the language catalog files for sysinst, but do not
copy sysinst itself to / on the CD, and instead use the base version
for installation.

joerg 1907ec3a61 Switch device database to cdb(5). Rework ttyname(3) and ttyname_r(3) to
depend on new devname_r(3) as heart. Add /dev/pts magic directly to
devname(3). While it can lead to returning non-existing paths, the
behavior is more consistent that way. Drop caching layer in devname(3),
it doesn't buy anything for the common case of having access to the
database. Teach devname(3) proper fallback behavior of scanning /dev.
Create both old-style and new-style database for now in /etc/rc.d/sysdb.

crunched/ramdisk install media again.
