is, consistently call it the boot manager, and switch the order the
options are presented so no boot manager is first in the list (and
hence more or less the default).
This area will probably be rototilled more before 8.0 comes out.
I tested this as well as the submitter and couldn't resolve this either,
since I dont want to "announce" dead mirrors, I'll remove it from the
list.

probably the right thing to do a while ago but xorg has progressed
to the point that for novice users (who are the ones expected to think
installing X11 during an install...) it's best to just install the
whole x11/xorg metaport for them. This removes the X11 sub-menus
and sets it up so you just select whether or not you want X11. While
here garbage collect an X11 configuration menu I missed removing when
I removed support for attempting xorg configuration from inside sysinstall
a while ago.

at runtime and to support distributing additional kernels:
o remove kernel from the base tarball
o add new kernel tarballs
o build + package both SMP and GENERIC kernels when an <arch>/conf/SMP
config file is present
o add sysinstall support for multiple kernels
o update sysinstall to probe for the number of cpus on a system
and auto-select smp/up kernel accordingly
o add a post-kernels install hook to fixup /boot/kernel
o add -ldevinfo to boot crunch for sysinstall's cpu probing logic
Notes:
1. On HEAD this code is not currently used because GENERIC kernels
include SMP. This work is mainly intended for RELENG_6 where the
GENERIC kernel is UP. If HEAD changes to match then just enable
WITH_SMP in sysinstall/Makefile.
2. The cpu probing support is done with acpi and MPTable; this means
some systems will require work for auto-detection to work.
3. The handling of /boot/kernel may need to be revisited; for now
we rename one kernel at the last moment (SMP if installed, otherwise
GENERIC). There are other, possibly better, approaches.

- If we are running as init, popup the country menu before the main menu.
If a non-default country is chosen, then a second menu is brought up
to let the user choose a keymap. By default the default keymap for
the country that was selected is highlighted. If the user chooses the
default country, then the default keymap is just assumed and the user
is not presented with the keymap menu. Currently the default country
is set to "United States" except for PC98 which assumes "Japan".

installation as far as most people are concerned but both 'Standard' and
'Select' begin with S and 'Select' is winning. This makes it so 'Select'
is not select-able using a keystroke but that is probably for the best
and the text on the screen adequately describes how to move back and forth
between 'Select' and 'Exit'.
