c352737c78 To use the dosio library fully, I also (duh!) have to retain full 
use of stdio, I can't just go handing fileno(fp) around and expect
that to work.  Since this means I need to have sysinstall play pipeline
on single file distributions now, that means I can also finally add a
progress indicator for them.

Change installation instructions to note that there's no dists directory
anymore on CDROMs.

d17f0c47d4 Fix some very minor cosmetic cruft I couldn't help tweaking when 
I went over the code.

Add a password field for adduser and use no-echo string field for it.
This requires my latest libdialog changes (in RELENG_2_2 or -current) to work.

0fd6d431cf Do a few things I've been threatening to do for a long time: 
1. Don't use the MSDOSFS code for accessing FreeBSD distribution data.
   Use Robert Nordier's stand-alone DOS I/O library for the purpose.
   It this works as well as Robert says it does, it should drastically reduce
   (or even eliminate) our "I can't install from my DOS partition!" calls.

2. As a result of the above, go to stdio file descriptors for all
   media types.

3. Taking advantage of #2, start using libftpio for FTP transfers instead
   of maintaining our own parallel version of the FTP transfer code.
   Yay!  I ripped something out for a change!

c381383f32 Update to benefit from David's recent changes to pw(8). The most 
obvious effects are that most of the automagically chosen defaults
will now be displayed while going through the menu, and an improved
error handling thanks to the more detailed error status reporting.

2.2 fodder, but i'll leave it to Jordan's review.

9b23ef93f3 Sysinstall now offers the installation of a keymap early in the game! 
Not all mappings are supported, most languages come only with one
encoding since this should be sufficient to get up & running in using
sysinstall, and we are already pretty tight on space.  (My previous
commit has already bumped the boot MFS size by another 50 KB for
this.)

This feature requires the `kbdcontrol -L' i've just committed.  Plain
text keymaps and the entire scanner are overkill for sysinstall.

Also updated the list of available keymaps while i was at it.

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

2705b229fc Temporarily disable userconfig saving until I figure out why uc_open() 
loops internally for BOOTMFS (not being able to run gdb on sysinstall
when it's running as init is a real pain!).

couple of K was really crazy on a 9600bps serial console.

09bef27f97 If we're unable to open /dev/ttyv0, assume that we're on a single tty system 
and use /dev/console.

I really think the proper test is to determine which device has been configured
to be the console (remember the RB_SERIAL flag?) and use it instead of always
trying to open /dev/ttyv0 first.

5319e113eb If /install.cfg exists on the local floppy (or if LOAD_CONFIG_FILE is defined 
and the user inserts a floppy), read the config file to pre-define variables
for a custom installation.

harder to make dynamic.
