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.
Lots of help from ru, emaste, scottl, and jhb.
boot.flp in 5.3 and later is not self-contained and thus not suitable for

Only copy boot.flp to the 2nd CD-ROM if this variable is defined.

If we have no UFS_ACL kernel, users who already uses UFS1/2 attributes
get confused since no access control is performed for an update install.
Still, pc98 and alpha doesn't have UFS_ACL since I don't know about them.
Nyan-san, if kern.flp on tatsu has enough spaces (4k or more spaces),
please back UFS_ACL for pc98 also.

aacp is a passthrough driver for aac, but it seems that aac kernel
module has a feature provided by aacp; so it can be removed safely.
_KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING provides P1003.1B realtime extension.
However, in an installation phase, it seems that it helps a little
for us, so we can remove this option from a kernel for floppy installation.
I know _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING option is defined in other architecture.
However, I don't touch them at this time; I can't test it.
Anyway here's result.

doesn't fit on the floppy any more. Turns out we grew a lnc(4) module since
I last looked. So handle it as a kld loadable module during install rather
than have it statically compiled into the kernel.
lnc(4) will attach to AMD PCnet/FAST NICs if pcn(4) does not attach.
I.e. pcn(4) gets first chance. There is a problem however in that pcn(4)
was moved out of the install kernel so that the module would be used.
This however causes bad installs if one has an AMD PCnet/FAST NIC.

This change should/could be merged into other arch's release build

1) Use devfs to mount filesystems. If mounting devfs is fail,
fallback to old code.
2) When fscking filesystems, use 'fsck_ffs' explicitly. As a
result, we no longer need 'fsck' the wrapper program.
