0c222512cb Whoops! I didn't check and spammed one author's 
changes over another!  Bad form, and I thought  they
were both coming from the same author or I wouldn't have done
it.  Revert to original author's version until the two Spanish
translators figure out who's doing what.. :-)

5662f32138 Fix a bug in the /etc populating copy. 
Change root.flp from a new format CPIO archive to a tar archive.
Unless we're willing to change the main tarballs from tar format to
"newc" (or, even better, "crc") cpio format, we need to use one common
one for all and that's tar for now.  Install will now grab "root floppy"
from an ftp site if that's what you've got set.

Fix even more gripes from Poul's list.

P.S.  As soon as I get the distfiles copied over to freefall tomorrow
morning, those of you wishing to test minimal installs over ftp should
be able to do so by grabbing the boot floppy and nothing else.  Keep
your eyes open for my announcement.

a098749d6b Bring everybody up to date on my morning's work. 
1. Fix a few bugs in the ftp installation code and implement proper
   ftp and network shutdown routines.

2. Clean up the menus a fair bit - add a FreeBSD configuration menu.

3. Eliminate the last of the "chaining" - the installation now does
   the most obvious thing in the most obvious cases and doesn't present
   you with more menus than you were expecting.  This makes it necessary to be
   a little more explicit in places, but it's still less confusing.

4. Add a few more safety nets for the user.  Change a few hard-and-fast
   limits to warnings (it now runs as non-root, Bruce).

5. Add descriptions for all the supported ethernet cards.

6. Make the cpio floppy extract put up a menu requesting the drive you wish
   to use if you have more than one; don't just always assume drive A.

now have to sacrifice some screen real-estate to pring cheesy
`-' characters to accomplish the same thing.

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!).

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.

e4d731b693 All the editors are finished. Now if I can just get a problem with libdisk 
fixed, we should be able to fully set up the user's disk.  Still to come
with next commit:  filesystem setup, distribution extraction, final
configuration.

e40a316fcf o Add extra menu types (radio implemented, multiple choice shortly). 
o Make the framework generally more robust.
o Figured out how to nest the menu descriptions - no more grotty initialization
  of menus.
o Fix bug with helpline and helpfile not being reset.
o Add stubs for the media selection code.

Coming next:  Fdisk and disklabel screens using Phk's new libdisk stuff.

ef42570d65 Latest raft of changes. 
Added another couple of menu item types.

Reshuffled the menus and added a few more.  Sure wish I could figure out
how to initialize a menu with _one_ initializer rather than two! :(

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).
