5214787fd5 OK, I've got two ideas to file in the "really seemed like a good idea
at the time, but on further reflection..." bucket with these changes.

1. Checking the media before frobbing the disks was a fine idea, and
   I wish it could have worked, but that leads to a rather difficult
   situation when you need to mount the media someplace and you're about
   to:

	a) Chroot away from your present root.
	b) Newfs the root to be.

   You're basically screwed since there's no place to stick the mount
   point where it will be found following the newfs/chroot (and eliminating
   the chroot in favor of just using the "root bias" feature would work
   great for the distributions but not the pkg_add calls done by the
   package installer).

2. Automatic timeout handling.  I don't know why, but alarm() frequently
   returns no residual even when the alarm didn't go off, which defies
   the man page but hey, since when was that so unusual?  Take out timeouts
   but retain the code which temporarily replaces the SIGINT handler in
   favor of a more media-specific handler.  This way, at least, if it's hanging
   you can at least whap it.  I think the timeout code would have been losing
   over *really slow* links anyway, so it's probably best that it go.

This should fix NFS, tape & CDROM installs again (serves me right for getting
complacent and using just the FTP installs in my testing).

898f607a63 Argh! Moving the media initialization to before the disk scribbling
section was a good thing, since it made it possible to detect media problems
*before* the installation started, but it also caused various things to
be mounted BEFORE the chroot() call, which definitely messes things up.

Fix this by detecting the pre-chroot() case and mounting into a subdir.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

a19596c5a8 Close PR#1542. Don't just assume 24 lines, get the tty size.
Some things may still display text on the 24th line, but that's because
they've always been screens designed to fit into a minimal real-estate
and have hardwired assumptions about the dimensions.  They'll be a little
harder to make dynamic.

c97113d14f Add a new -fake argument to make sysinstall not actually change things while
I'm testing it.

e336d945a8 1. Spawn a shell on VTY4 and leave it lying around.
2. Bring in Gary's prompt stuff in extractGeneric.
3. Add another global for telling when we're running as init.

7ab5b08b2c This doesn't work - the extract code is half-baked. I commit it only
so that Gary can sync to it before I go to bed.. :)

b2d228d3d7 This will now compile and even scribble helpfully on your disks.
It remains to be seen how successfully.  The distribution loading code
is still not here yet, but the partition/newfs/mount/cpio-extract cycle
is as complete as it's ever going to get, modulo possible bug fixes.
The TCP/IP setup screen is also sort of here, albeit in a highly-changing
state due to the fact that per-interface information isn't being kept
right now but is being added (thanks, Gary!).

3dee6615c7 This does _not yet compile_; I'm simply bringing in my changes from
this weekend in order to more easily sync with my CVS tree at home.
Another commit relative to these changes will follow shortly.

f9a1c2dee2 Sync these up so that they'll get into my CVS tree at home, where I'll continue
working on the distribution extract stuff.

4c88964f89 Some fairly serious cleanup. The proper offset should now be used in
creating partitions.  Still need to get the mount points displaying carefully,
but I need to get this into my tree on time so that I can work on that.

4e278bdb76 Here is my first "framework" commit of the new sysinstall. There is a LOT
more to come in the next 24 hours, this is just the first stable result of
8 hours of hacking so far.  The specification format for menus is pretty
much hammered out and the beginnings (very humble) of the doc hierarchy
are present for an example.  It should be quite easy to add a lot more
menus quickly to this since I did go somewhat out of my way to make the
framework easy to work with.  This is NOT the glorious semi-graphical
sysinstall (or whatever its name will be) that the install-geeks are working
on, this is simply the "son of sysinstall" I've been promising to write in
the interim for 2.0.5 and 2.1R (super install doesn't come until 2.2R).
