bfc3bab865 Per request of the docs team, install docs as packages, instead of via
the normal distfile mechanism. Thanks to Marc Fonvieille for the patch and
for putting up with me taking entirely too long to commit this!

1) do not print out an empty "search ", things do not like it.
2) the search list is not comma separated.

d63d020e22 Write the multi step netconfig to a temporary file and only move that
to the final name if netconfig was completely finished.  This fixes
reentrance problems even better than r222611.

f0cdc18176 Empty the network configuration only after the user decided to pick an
interface.  Otherwise an accidental start of the netowrk configuration
and immediate cancel after the install has finished removes the previously
configured settings.

7986af23a4 Split netconfig into three parts:
- netconfig - what auto will call which in turn will check for
  IPv4 and IPv6 to be available and ask the user to configure it
  by calling
- netconfig_ipv4 doing DHCP and static IPv4 addresses, and
- netconfig_ipv6 doing rtsol and static IPv6 addresses,
and then checking, querying and updating resolv.conf upon return.
Both DHCP and rtsol (in the future) might update resolv.conf already so
we seed ourselves from that file if available.

23724537d0 Rename the "Reboot" option to "Exit", which reflects what it actually
does. The rc.local wrapper script will also soon grow an option to use the
live environment after installation, so an immediate reboot isn't even

6dcef0cf52 Add mirror selection for FTP installs. To support TBEMD installs
(e.g. powerpc64), this looks in a slightly different default path than now,
specifying both $MACHINE and $MACHINE_ARCH:
MIRROR/pub/FreeBSD/releases/`uname -p`/`uname -m`/`uname -r`

How to handle TBEMD properly probably merits some more discussion, but,
since no such 9.0-CURRENT distfiles exist at the moment, all existing
mirrors presently fail anyway.

2118f3873f Import bsdinstall. This is meant to be (eventually in conjunction with
pc-sysinstall) a replacement for sysinstall in the 9.0 release and beyond.
Currently supported platforms are sparc64, pc98, i386, amd64, powerpc, and
powerpc64. Integration into the build system will occur in the coming
weeks.

Merging with pc-sysinstall will use this code as a frontend, while
temporarily retaining the interactive partition editor here. This work
will be done in parallel with improvements on this code and release
integration.

Thanks to all who have provided testing and comments!
