more consistant in our use of the terms for differentiation between PC
partitions and traditional BSD partitions.

section was a good thing, since it made it possible to detect media problems
*before* the installation started, but it also caused various things to
be mounted BEFORE the chroot() call, which definitely messes things up.
Fix this by detecting the pre-chroot() case and mounting into a subdir.
This will probably need to go away again someday when distributions get
folded into packages and there are no more dist files to check, but knowing
how long we've been waiting on THAT, this will be a welcome tool for the
interim.

We could also make this stuff only come out when getpid() != 1
and thus avoid the install case (where it really is just too verbose,
and people have complained), but this seems less messy and no one
complained when tzsetup didn't print the final "things went fine!"
messages (which sort of contravene the UNIX spirit of only yelling
when you need to anyway).
Use setusercontext() rather than setuid()/setgid()/setlogin()/initgroups()
which is all handled. Login environment is NOT set by this call as crontab
provides its own means of doing so.
yp_next_record() is called without a key (from xdr_my_ypresp_all()),
in which case it returns the first key in the map. When doing this,
it also needs to update the key index in the map queue entry. Without
this, ypproc_all_2_svc() (and hence ypcat) don't work correctly.

- Use MAP_FAILED instead of the constant -1 to indicate
failure (required by POSIX).
- Removed flag arguments of '0' (required by POSIX).
- Fixed code which expected an error return of 0.
- Fixed code which thought any address with the high bit set
was an error.
- Check for failure where no checks were present.
Discussed with: bde
going into SLIP mode, useful for scripts that can automatically
grok IP addresses ala Trumpet Winsock.

bogus path and FTP I/O errors much earlier, offer retry possibilities
at steps along the way so you don't have to resume from the very beginning
again on a hard error.
1. Bus mouse selection didn't show up properly in mouse menu.
2. U&G management screen didn't respect cancel properly.
3. Novice not prompted to add users or set root password during installation.
4. Username length changes screw up user management form.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
