18e5f50832 Documentation update.
Remove a duplicate entry for ahc0 in hardware.hlp (closes PR #
docs/2282), a few additions all over the place while i was at it.

Tried to add as much of the important highlights for the new features
in 2.2 into the release notes.  I still think that many things are
missing here, so folks, if you imported something great that's in 2.2
but not in 2.1.X, please review this section and send us your
additions!

c352737c78 To use the dosio library fully, I also (duh!) have to retain full
use of stdio, I can't just go handing fileno(fp) around and expect
that to work.  Since this means I need to have sysinstall play pipeline
on single file distributions now, that means I can also finally add a
progress indicator for them.

Change installation instructions to note that there's no dists directory
anymore on CDROMs.

0fd6d431cf Do a few things I've been threatening to do for a long time:
1. Don't use the MSDOSFS code for accessing FreeBSD distribution data.
   Use Robert Nordier's stand-alone DOS I/O library for the purpose.
   It this works as well as Robert says it does, it should drastically reduce
   (or even eliminate) our "I can't install from my DOS partition!" calls.

2. As a result of the above, go to stdio file descriptors for all
   media types.

3. Taking advantage of #2, start using libftpio for FTP transfers instead
   of maintaining our own parallel version of the FTP transfer code.
   Yay!  I ripped something out for a change!

c381383f32 Update to benefit from David's recent changes to pw(8). The most
obvious effects are that most of the automagically chosen defaults

error handling thanks to the more detailed error status reporting.

2.2 fodder, but i'll leave it to Jordan's review.

9b23ef93f3 Sysinstall now offers the installation of a keymap early in the game!
Not all mappings are supported, most languages come only with one
encoding since this should be sufficient to get up & running in using
sysinstall, and we are already pretty tight on space.  (My previous
commit has already bumped the boot MFS size by another 50 KB for
this.)

This feature requires the `kbdcontrol -L' i've just committed.  Plain
text keymaps and the entire scanner are overkill for sysinstall.

Also updated the list of available keymaps while i was at it.

518c7f2a9a Several improvements to the `fixit' configuration:
. Don't gzip the crunched binary by now; it just fits, and execution is
  a lot faster this way (it's truly demand-paged again).

. Add more(1), ft(8), protocols(5), a stripped down services(5).

. Improve the .profile, and make sysinstall actually use it again.

Still no go for a 4 MB configuration though. :-(

1553b61593 If mounting the fixit floppy fails in the first place, warn the user
but make a second attempt using MNT_FORCE, just in case it has been
unclean from a previous crash.  That's dangerous, but far better than
keeping the despaired user standing in the rain...

(Experienced admins can still fsck it then, and remount.  Others will
either totally crash, or incidentally succeed, without much further
help possible...)

Btw., mount(2) misses the description of MNT_FORCE for the mount
syscall.
