67e4c7efd5 Another update for reality: "dangerously dedicated" mode is now
achieved by hitting 'F', which is no longer undocumented.

9ca95cfad3 Bring these files somewhat into the present.
Perform some rewording while here.

Remove register.hlp, since the code that deals with it was removed
nearly 7 years ago.

b5abb6e6b0 Don't use UFS2 by default during the install process on PC98, as the
PC98 boot blocks don't support UFS2.  We keep newfs(8) defaulting to
UFS2.

Warn users that FreeBSD can only boot from a root file system smaller
than 1.5TB; hopefully this will get fixed by the patches currently
floating around on -CURRENT.

b459937e0c Throw the switch--change to UFS2 as our default file system format for
FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE and later:

- newfs(8) will now create UFS2 file systems unless UFS1 is specifically
  requested (-O1).  To do this, I just twiddled the Oflag default.

- sysinstall(8) will now select UFS2 as the default layout for new
  file systems unless specifically requested (use '1' and '2' to change
  the file system layout in the disk labeler).  To do this, I inverted
  the ufs2 flag into a ufs1 flag, since ufs2 is now the default and
  ufs1 is the edge case.  There's a slight semantic change in the
  key behavior: '2' no longer toggles, it changes the selection to UFS2.

This is very similar to a patch David O'Brien sent me at one point, and
that I couldn't find.

bf1e70b230 Reformulate how sysinstall handles file system options in the label
editor, in order to support specifying UFS2 as a newfs option.

(1) Support three different newfs types: NEWFS_UFS, NEWFS_MSDOS, and
    NEWFS_CUSTOM.  Don't mix up the arguments to them: you can't use
    soft updates on an msdos file system.

(2) Distinguish adding new arguments to the newfs command line from
    replacing it.  Permit the addition of new arguments by the user for
    NEWFS_UFS.  If we entirely replace the command line provided by
    sysinstall, call it NEWFS_CUSTOM.  'N' will now add additional
    arguments; 'Z' will opt to replace the newfs command line entirely,
    but will prompt the user with their current command line as a
    starting point.

(3) Construct the newfs command line dynamically based on the options
    provided by the user at label-time.  Right now, this means selecting
    UFS1 vs. UFS2, and the soft updates flag.  Drop in some variables
    to support ACLs and MAC Multilabel in the future also, but don't
    expose them now.

This provides sysinstall with the ability to do more "in band" editing
of the newfs command line, so we can provide more support for the user,
but doesn't sacrifice the ability to entirely specify the newfs command
line of the user is willing to give up on the cushiness factor.  It
also makes it easier for us to specify defaults in the future, and
define conditional behavior based on user configuration selections.
For now, we default to UFS1, and permit UFS2 to be used as the root
only on non-i386 systems.

While I was there, I dropped the default fragment and block sizes,
since newfs has much more sensible defaults now.

76d01c999a This is a patch that makes some of the "partitions" --> "slice" to be
more consistant in our use of the terms for differentiation between PC
partitions and traditional BSD partitions.

5326bef3de This mega-commit brings in Jordan's latest sysinstall version..
This looks like it was developed offline, and is being spammed over the
top of the existing.  "That's fine by me!  I dont really care how you do
it, just get it in there..." said Jordan in a conversation a short while
ago...
