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
emulation (the old method) as opposed to the new "cdboot" method.
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).

If we have no UFS_ACL kernel, users who already uses UFS1/2 attributes
get confused since no access control is performed for an update install.
Still, pc98 and alpha doesn't have UFS_ACL since I don't know about them.
Nyan-san, if kern.flp on tatsu has enough spaces (4k or more spaces),
please back UFS_ACL for pc98 also.

aacp is a passthrough driver for aac, but it seems that aac kernel
module has a feature provided by aacp; so it can be removed safely.
_KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING provides P1003.1B realtime extension.
However, in an installation phase, it seems that it helps a little
for us, so we can remove this option from a kernel for floppy installation.
I know _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING option is defined in other architecture.
However, I don't touch them at this time; I can't test it.
Anyway here's result.

the BOOTMFS kernel. These help reduce the kernel size so things fit
in a floppy image. There are more low-hanging fruit to be had here
if things fail to fit again.
to reduce the size of the bootstrap kernels. This is needed to make
stuff fit in primary floppy images. Specific drivers moved: RAID
support, tx Ethernet, and wi (wireless). Probably want to revisit
at least the last two drivers before release.

into the install kernel. Unfortunately pcn(4) also needs mii(4) so that
would also have to added to install kernel, which will bloat it up so that it
doesn't fit on the floppy any more. Turns out we grew a lnc(4) module since
I last looked. So handle it as a kld loadable module during install rather
than have it statically compiled into the kernel.
