2ffbec1872 Add a scripting frontend. Documentation and release(7) support coming later.
Scripts take the form:

------------------------------------
PARTITIONS=ada0
DISTRIBUTIONS="kernel.txz base.txz ports.txz"

#!/bin/sh
echo "sshd_enable=YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
pkg add puppet
echo "System setup complete"
------------------------------------

The second part of the script (beginning with #!) is run in the newly
installed system after the installation onto ada0 (with default partitioning,
see scriptedpart for more complicated scenarios) is complete.

a6b612e920 If no partition configuration is specified in {}, use the automatic setup
the interactive installer uses.

Example: bsdinstall scriptedpart ada0
Result: Use entire disk for a FreeBSD system with default partition layout

5eca7e06a1 Add a simple scripted partitioner. Documentation and more scripting support
will come soon. This lets the install process have a line like:

bsdinstall scriptedpart 'ada0 GPT {1.5G freebsd-ufs /, 10G freebsd-swap,
    auto freebsd-ufs /usr}'

to set up a system with a 1.5GB /, some swap space, and a /usr using the
rest of ada0.

ec8edf9362 Make sade actually be a symlink to partedit, as per the commit message in
