- Rework MANIFEST generation and parsing via bsdinstall(8).
- Allow selecting debugging distribution sets during install.
- Rework bsdinstall(8) to fetch remote debug distribution sets
when they are not available on the local install medium.
- Allow selecting additional non-GENERIC kernels during install.
At present, GENERIC is still required, and installed by default.

- Use ln -fs to create a symlink.
- Remove pkgadd for docports.
- Use WITHOUT_JADETEX=yes instead of WITH_JADETEX=no.
- Add {WORLD,KERNEL}_FLAGS to [BTWK]MAKE.
- Use makefs(8) and gpart(8) for sparc64 ISO image[2].
- Add publisher option to makefs(8)[2].

symbols only. While the makefs utility automatically converts the characters,
$LABEL should be consistent in the scripts.
changes, and backport the new logic (ISO images are TARGET dependant, not
TARGET_CPUARCH dependant) to Makefile.sysinstall. While modifying ISO
image scripts, change several archs to use makefs (from base) instead of
mkisofs (from ports) which makes release CD generation both faster and
self-hosting.

boot.flp in 5.3 and later is not self-contained and thus not suitable for
CD booting. /boot/cdboot is now the only way to boot the install CDs.

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.

megabytes of additional space on the install CD. Given our premium
for space, I don't think this is a wise use of 30MB. HFS support was
not provided on the FreeBSD 4.4 CDs and I received a grand total of 0
complaints.

of the two
+ checks for `setcdboot's existsance and tries to pkg_add it if needed

as part of the release if MAKE_ISOS is set. Will also build the
first CD with packages (in addition to the "minimal" CD) if CD_EXTRA_BITS
points to them. This probably need a bit more work to get fully useful,
but it at least covers the basics for now.
