Andrzej has a machine with 32GB of RAM, but only 16GB is reported by the
smbios.memory.enabled. Thus, use the greater of hw.realmem and the smbios
value.
Reported by: Andrzej Tobola <ato of iem pw edu pl>
This should get the correct memory size even if a 32-bit image is running
on a machine with > 4GB of memory. This can be useful is using a 32-bit
installer on a machine which will eventually run a 64-bit image.

Add some additional empty string checks for IPv4 and try to configure
a netmask along with the address rather than doing things twice.
Contrary to AUTO-DHCP, IPv6-SLAAC will accept static configuration
as well, which we will use at least for resolv.conf currently and
if we were given a static address configure that as an alias as well.
The pc-sysinstaller changes going along were committed to PC-BSD as r10773.

This patch creates the "image" directive for the pc-sysinstall config
file. This allows disks to be configured with an image instead of
partitioning.

shell script is the back end logic necessary for an installer. It
contains both query routines to allow a front-end installer to present
reasonable choices to the user and also action routines which allow
the front end installer to put a FreeBSD distribution onto a disk. It
supports installing onto the usual suspects, as well as advanced
features like Mirroring, ZFS, Encryprion and GPT labels.
While this is only the back-end of the installer, it can do unattended
scripted installations. In PC-BSD's world view, all installations are
scripted and all the front-end does is write the script. As such, it
is useful in its own right.
This has been extensively tested over the past several releases of
PC-BSD. However, differences between that environment and FreeBSD
suggest there will be a period of shake-out while those differences
are discovered and corrected.
A text-based front-end is in the works. For the GUI-based front-end,
you can use the PC-BSD distribution.
Kris' BSDcan paper on pc-sysinstall is linked off his talk on the
BSDcan site:
http://www.bsdcan.org/2010/schedule/events/173.en.html
The man page is written by Josh Paetzel, and I wrote the Makefiles for
the FreeBSD integration. Kris wrote the rest.
This represents version r7010 in the PC-BSD repo.
