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).

76d01c999a This is a patch that makes some of the "partitions" --> "slice" to be
more consistant in our use of the terms for differentiation between PC
partitions and traditional BSD partitions.

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.

518c7f2a9a Several improvements to the `fixit' configuration:
. Don't gzip the crunched binary by now; it just fits, and execution is
  a lot faster this way (it's truly demand-paged again).

. Add more(1), ft(8), protocols(5), a stripped down services(5).

. Improve the .profile, and make sysinstall actually use it again.

Still no go for a 4 MB configuration though. :-(

1553b61593 If mounting the fixit floppy fails in the first place, warn the user
but make a second attempt using MNT_FORCE, just in case it has been
unclean from a previous crash.  That's dangerous, but far better than
keeping the despaired user standing in the rain...

(Experienced admins can still fsck it then, and remount.  Others will
either totally crash, or incidentally succeed, without much further
help possible...)

Btw., mount(2) misses the description of MNT_FORCE for the mount
syscall.

d50a30076c Multiple changes stacked as one commit since they all depend on one another.
First, change sysinstall and the Makefile rules to not build the kernel
nlist directly into sysinstall now.  Instead, spit it out as an ascii
file in /stand and parse it from sysinstall later.  This solves the chicken-n-
egg problem of building sysinstall into the fsimage before BOOTMFS is built
and can have its symbols extracted.  Now we generate the symbol file in
release.8.

Second, add Poul-Henning's USERCONFIG_BOOT changes.  These have two
effects:

	1. Userconfig is always entered, rather than only after a -c
	   (don't scream yet, it's not as bad as it sounds).

	2. Userconfig reads a message string which can optionally be
	   written just past the boot blocks.  This string "preloads"
	   the userconfig input buffer and is parsed as user input.
	   If the first command is not "USERCONFIG", userconfig will
	   treat this as an implied "quit" (which is why you don't need
	   to scream - you never even know you went through userconfig
	   and back out again if you don't specifically ask for it),
	   otherwise it will read and execute the following commands
	   until a "quit" is seen or the end is reached, in which case
	   the normal userconfig command prompt will then be presented.

  How to create your own startup sequences, using any boot.flp image
from the next snap forward (not yet, but soon):

	% dd of=/dev/rfd0 seek=1 bs=512 count=1 conv=sync <<WAKKA_WAKKA_DOO
USERCONFIG
irq ed0 10
iomem ed0 0xcc000
disable ed1
quit
WAKKA_WAKKA_DOO


Third, add an intro screen to UserConfig so that users aren't just thrown
into this strange screen if userconfig is auto-launched.  The default
boot.flp startup sequence is now, in fact, this:

	USERCONFIG
	intro
	visual

(Since visual never returns, we don't need a following "quit").
