changes, and backport the new logic (ISO images are TARGET dependant, not
TARGET_CPUARCH dependant) to Makefile.sysinstall. While modifying ISO
image scripts, change several archs to use makefs (from base) instead of
mkisofs (from ports) which makes release CD generation both faster and
self-hosting.

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.
libulog now only provides functions that are used by various packages
from the ports tree, namely the libutempter ones. There is no reason to
link it into the crunch/fixit binaries anymore.

Stanislav Sedov for sorting out the ports build.

complains about "Malformed numbers" while unpacking the dists and
what winds up on the disk isn't correct. Use this as an opportunity
to switch over to bsdcpio since at this point we don't even build
and install the gnu cpio by default. Note sysinstall needed to be
tweaked a bit (dropping tape block size setting) because it seems
bsdcpio doesn't do anything with block sizes, at least as far as
reading from archives goes. That wasn't really a problem since
installations from tape have been broken for a while and the rest
of sysinstall's tape support code will be removed shortly.
can't find fsck_4.2bsd because there was no fstab file saying what
filesystem type it is looking at so it got the filesystem type from
the disk's label. When that fails admins who haven't been in this
situation before are most likely to try "fsck -t ufs /dev/ad0s1a" because
ufs is the type used in fstab files on working systems but that also fails
complaining it can't find fsck_ufs.
This just sets it up so /stand in the MFS image (/sbin is a symlink
to /stand) includes hard links pointing fsck_4.2bsd and fsck_ufs to
fsck_ffs which is what is present in /sbin on installed systems.

at runtime and to support distributing additional kernels:
o remove kernel from the base tarball
o add new kernel tarballs
o build + package both SMP and GENERIC kernels when an <arch>/conf/SMP
config file is present
o add sysinstall support for multiple kernels
o update sysinstall to probe for the number of cpus on a system
and auto-select smp/up kernel accordingly
o add a post-kernels install hook to fixup /boot/kernel
o add -ldevinfo to boot crunch for sysinstall's cpu probing logic
Notes:
1. On HEAD this code is not currently used because GENERIC kernels
include SMP. This work is mainly intended for RELENG_6 where the
GENERIC kernel is UP. If HEAD changes to match then just enable
WITH_SMP in sysinstall/Makefile.
2. The cpu probing support is done with acpi and MPTable; this means
some systems will require work for auto-detection to work.
3. The handling of /boot/kernel may need to be revisited; for now
we rename one kernel at the last moment (SMP if installed, otherwise
GENERIC). There are other, possibly better, approaches.
Lots of help from ru, emaste, scottl, and jhb.
boot.flp in 5.3 and later is not self-contained and thus not suitable for
CD booting. /boot/cdboot is now the only way to boot the install CDs.

Death to the stripped down BOOTMFS kernel for boot floppies and all the
cruft that goes along with it.
that causes the bootable ISO images to be created using the floppy

Only copy boot.flp to the 2nd CD-ROM if this variable is defined.

Also make sure bsdlabel(8) (along with the disklabel(8) compat
link) still appear on the fixit floppies of platforms that use
it natively (alpha, i386, and pc98).
