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.

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.
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.

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 ...''
before extracting sets, and move it back afterwards, to save the information
which X server to use.

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.
