10c40dfa68 Prevent memstick installation medium from attempting to mount
the root filesystem read-write.  This causes problems booting
the memstick installation medium from write-protected USB flash
drives.

7fad9ac96c Now that GENERIC can boot on UEFI systems (r268158), switch the build to use
UEFI-compatible images. These will boot as before on BIOS systems, but will
boot using the UEFI loader on UEFI-aware systems.

cac71a6495 Revert r264907 and r264908:
Restore make-memstick.sh back to its original state to
unbreak booting for machines that do not support GPT.

I have in-progress work to keep the MBR layout and add
the EFI partition, but it is not yet ready, and does
need at least one full release build to be certain it
does not break.

6dceb683a7 Refactor make-memstick.sh to avoid creating the 'dangerously
dedicated' partition scheme, reported to cause the memstick.img
to fail to boot.

Similar to how make-memstick.sh worked on stable/8, use makefs(8)
to create the actual filesystem.  Then calculate the size of the
resulting image file, create the GPT partition scheme, then dd(1)
the filesystem created with makefs(8) to the freebsd-ufs GPT
partition.

This was tested on a known-working machine[1] for regression, and
a known-not-working machine[2] to ensure the boot issue has been
resolved.

986e0c7801 Use UFS labels and bsdlabels (like the 8.x memsticks) instead of GPT to
fix problems with some BIOSes.

86354c8d38 Mount memsticks read-only by default to prevent them being filled by
user modifications and subsequently preventing a functioning installation.

0877c11eda Use labels to find release media instead of hard-coded device paths. This
makes booting more reliable (and working at all on USB sticks). While here,
move responsibility for setting up fstab into the various platform mk-*.sh
scripts.

89033280b7 Add generation of memstick images to the bsdinstall release makefile for
i386 and amd64. This involved moving the memstick generation script to
the arch directories from scripts/, in analogy to mkisoimages.sh. This
script was never called from /usr/src/release/Makefile, so that hasn't
been updated.
