installation is cdrom. This enables bsdconfig(8) to make use
of the on-disc pkg(8) repository configuration, which fixes
package selection and installation from the dvd installer.

improve the `device.subr' framework itself. Make use of the `flags' device
struct member for network interfaces to indicate if an interface is Active,
Wired Ethernet, or 802.11 Wireless. Functions have been added to make checks
against the `flags' bit-field quick and efficient. Last, add function for
rescanning the network to update the device registers. Remove an unnecessary

ejecting the CDROM when we're done with it (but leave the functions for
later use so that we could perhaps -- from the installer standpoint -- use
it to eject the media after an install).

fix a bug where "pkg update" was not getting the value of PACKAGESITE.
NB: PACKAGESITE needs to be explicitly exported in support of children.

When bsdinstall(8) sources the bsdconfig(8) common.subr file,
PKG_ABI is set by calling 'pkg -vv' and searching for the ABI
pkg(8) will use.
When pkg(8) is run for the first time, the bootstrap process
is run, which prompts for 'y/N' input from stdin if running with
TERM set.
Since TERM is set and it is the first time pkg(8) is run, which
happens automatically, bsdinstall(8) hangs waiting for user input
which is never displayed since a specific line is expected by
awk(1), and stdin is expected by pkg(8).
Set ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES=1, which will cause pkg(8) to assume the
'-y' flag is also used for the bootstrap process, allowing
bsdinstall(8) to proceed to the keymap lookup, otherwise
bsdinstall(8) appears to hang after selecting 'Install' from the
menu on first boot from CDROM.
series of commands. Accepts the `-d' flag as a first argument to skip
displaying messages in a dialog box. The command is logged as it
appears to the shell prior to the first pass of parameter expansion to
allow copy/pasting into a real shell (opposed to simply echo'ing the
command which would produce debug output that has undergone at least one
pass of parameter expansion, thus no-longer copacetic for copy/paste).
Takes printf(1) style syntax and a utility identifier for error messages.

network operations to be *interactive*).

throughout the bsdconfig(8) code. While we're here, add an explicit argument
to lvalue-seeking invocations of "return" that previously had no argument.
Also, consolidate a single instance of double-newline and remove some
comments that are no longer required (given increased readability with new
exit codes).

nfs, ftp, http, httpproxy, etc.) and f_device_get() (abstract method for
calling aforementioned f_media_get_TYPE()).
Previously, if $probe_only was present and non-NULL, the TYPE functions
would check for $file and exit with an appropriate error status (success if
the file exists and readable, failure otherwise).
While this has been retained, a pair of globals has been introduced:
$PROBE_EXIST and $PROBE_SIZE (see `/usr/share/bsdconfig/media/common.subr')
The $PROBE_EXIST global can be used where you need the functionality of
simply testing for existence (previously the _only_ functionality).
Meanwhile, the new $PROBE_SIZE global can be used to cause the TYPE function
to print the size of the file (in bytes) on standard-out (or -1) if not
found or an error occurs. NOTE: If an error occurs, it is logged with the
dprintf function, which is visible with `-d' flag or debug=1.
In many cases, where you need to get the size of a file _and_ check for its
existence, you can use the return status of a $PROBE_SIZE call.

In a performance benchmark of 10,000 runs on circa 2006 hardware, f_which
out-performed `which' with an average completion time of ~2.5 seconds versus
~56 seconds.
This should be handy for future use (not that I make it a habit to call
`which' in a loop 10,000 times).
