5adf6f1dc4 Escape the newline so we get a proper line continuation. Without this
the text of the menu selections doesn't get displayed properly and it
makes the installer appear to lock up for no obvious reason.

6d9ae0e723 Avoid magicking into existence sub-partitions due to leftover blocks when
creating new ones by destroying any geom that may have come into
existence immediately after adding a partition. The EBR partition scheme
is particularly enthusiastic about false positives in this case.

10aa664dd0 Work around some behavior of gpart that I absolutely do not understand in
order to make every operation of the partition editor fully revertable.
Under *no circumstances* will it any longer touch the disks until the user
presses Finish and confirms it.

d5bccf0f29 Fix two problems:
1) if no default gateway is given the route command will fail
   and the script will abort with an error leading to an endless
   loop unless configuration is cancelled or changed. [1]
2) In the IPv6 case add -inet6 to not alter the legacy IP default
   route.

29f67d2bd3 Swap FTP paths to be MACHINE/MACHINE_ARCH instead of MACHINE_ARCH/MACHINE.
This follows what the output of make targets looks like, and reduces the
number of directories needed on the FTP server, since we now have only one
architecture with multiple machine types (i386, which has i386 and pc98),
but 3 machines with 9 architectures between them (powerpc, mips, and arm).

01ac457c38 Split netconfig into three parts:
- netconfig - what auto will call which in turn will check for
  IPv4 and IPv6 to be available and ask the user to configure it
  by calling
- netconfig_ipv4 doing DHCP and static IPv4 addresses, and
- netconfig_ipv6 doing rtsol and static IPv6 addresses,
and then checking, querying and updating resolv.conf upon return.
Both DHCP and rtsol (in the future) might update resolv.conf already so
we seed ourselves from that file if available.

605fa95a3a Add mirror selection for FTP installs. To support TBEMD installs
(e.g. powerpc64), this looks in a slightly different default path than now,
specifying both $MACHINE and $MACHINE_ARCH:
MIRROR/pub/FreeBSD/releases/`uname -p`/`uname -m`/`uname -r`

How to handle TBEMD properly probably merits some more discussion, but,
since no such 9.0-CURRENT distfiles exist at the moment, all existing
mirrors presently fail anyway.
