0d0068a444 Add in some more config file support -- add variables to shut up 
sysinstall about the dangerously dedicated message, and other
variables to allow pre-configuring the distribution sets.

Still todo: add a variable to define an initial set of packages that
should be loaded.

705a1dda21 Mention new features: 
. if_media support (obtained from Jason Thorpe's NetBSD implementation),
. multi-session ISO-9660 support

Move aic6[26]30 and floppy tapes out into an ``unmaintained'' subsection,
so people don't expect the same quality of support for them as for other
drivers.

Our ATAPI CD-ROM driver should no longer be considered ALPHA quality
now, i think.

bad54f644f Add more bootstrapping bandaids: copy over some of the host system 
dependent utilities to /bootstrap inside the chroot tree, so the
hosting and targeted environment are not required the same.  By now,
mount/umount (due to the Lite2 changes) and cpio (due to lchown) make
it there.  This should allow building a 3.0-current release from
inside a 2.2 vintage system, and visa verse.

Isn't lchown also a reason for a shared lib version number bump?
