fvdl 0cd2d70c37 * Check for an existing MBR not by looking at the geometry, but by looking
at used partitions. fdisk may report the number of cylinders > 1024
  correctly if no translation is used.
* Print out the end of the partition as well as the size when editing things.
* Enable the user to specify the BIOS geometry if he/she wishes.
* Fix 1023 / 1024 mixup. The reason BIOSs will return 1023 is an old IBM
  convention to use the last cylinder as diagnostic cylinder. The user
  can still skip the last ('real') cylinder if specified.
* Make some messages more verbose.

phil af1d23bed3 Import of sysinst. Not quite ready, but other ports want access for
parallel development.  i386 version about 90% complete.  pc532 version
just started, other architectures later in coordination with portmasters.

This is a curses based, menu driven installation program.

Better error checking is needed.
