depends on this. This way we don't have some code using OnVTY checks
and other doing

checks. Also we need to set VAR_FIXIT_TTY to "serial" if we come up on
a serial console.
Also fixed a dialog problem in that dialog was used when dialog was
disabled causing some troubles such as not letting the cursor keys
work when exiting the fixit mode on media (ie. not the fixit shell but
for example fixit on a floppy).

Peter's new format, and I'd added hints files for each.
The build process uses the PICOBSD.hints file as well as the config,
and additionally builds with -DNO_MODULES. The build process
probably needs to be converted to use the 'buildkernel' method
instead of running config itself.
The kernels now compile. I've not been able to test the crunch
process however because it used the vn driver and there are no
/dev/vn device nodes under devfs yet. Maybe someone else could
give it a go.

Previously, these cards were supported by the lnc driver (and they
still are, but the pcn driver will claim them first), which is fine
except the lnc driver runs them in 16-bit LANCE compatibility mode.
The pcn driver runs these chips in 32-bit mode and uses the RX alignment
feature to achieve zero-copy receive. (Which puts it in the same
class as the xl, fxp and tl chipsets.) This driver is also MI, so it
will work on the x86 and alpha platforms. (The lnc driver is still
needed to support non-PCI cards. At some point, I'll need to newbusify
it so that it too will me MI.)
The Am79c978 HomePNA adapter is also supported.

Beyond changes to the build system, this includes fixing up the sample
freebsd.mc configuration for changes in defaults and syntax, removing
outdated documentation, and updating the release notes.
Make sysinstall override this on install, so the effective behavioural
change for a newly installed system is null. Overall, this makes a system
with an empty /etc/rc.conf not run any network services, and makes the
FreeBSD-provided network services that are running visible in /etc/rc.conf
