standard or serial. This change needs to be done to the entire system that
depends on this. This way we don't have some code using OnVTY checks
and other doing
strcmp(variable_get(VAR_FIXIT_TTY), "standard") == 0
checks. Also we need to set VAR_FIXIT_TTY to "serial" if we come up on
a serial console.
Also fixed a dialog problem in that dialog was used when dialog was
disabled causing some troubles such as not letting the cursor keys
work when exiting the fixit mode on media (ie. not the fixit shell but
for example fixit on a floppy).

appropriate(?) defaults for "low", "medium" and "high" security
environments. Medium is basically what we currently have with a little
seat-belt tightening where it made sense. Low is the same as medium but
without the tightening. High is positively fascist with nothing turned
on by default and an automatic call to 911 if it can find a modem.

Previously, these cards were supported by the lnc driver (and they
still are, but the pcn driver will claim them first), which is fine
except the lnc driver runs them in 16-bit LANCE compatibility mode.
The pcn driver runs these chips in 32-bit mode and uses the RX alignment
feature to achieve zero-copy receive. (Which puts it in the same
class as the xl, fxp and tl chipsets.) This driver is also MI, so it
will work on the x86 and alpha platforms. (The lnc driver is still
needed to support non-PCI cards. At some point, I'll need to newbusify
it so that it too will me MI.)
The Am79c978 HomePNA adapter is also supported.

to warn that host.conf is no longer used at boot time. In addition, if
there is a host.conf but no nsswitch.conf, the latter is created at boot
time from the former.

Make sysinstall override this on install, so the effective behavioural
change for a newly installed system is null. Overall, this makes a system
with an empty /etc/rc.conf not run any network services, and makes the
FreeBSD-provided network services that are running visible in /etc/rc.conf
(instead of making people look through /etc/defaults/rc.conf to find the
things they need to disable to secure the system.)

Now, if a release is specified, instead of just looking for a directory
with the same name as the release, try several possible directories (each
suffixed with the release name) relative to the base directory including
".", "releases/MACHINE", "snapshots/MACHINE", and each of those prefixed
with "pub/FreeBSD/". This will allow us to remove the evil symlinks under
pub/FreeBSD/releases/MACHINE/ to the snapshots on the ftp site.
