use dialog functions properly
move alloc_memory early to prevent core dump at stage 3
Change 25x80 to 24x80
Fix setenv diagnostic
Fix Fatal to call end_dialog()
Re-organised files, moved bootcode routines into their own files.
Check return types of everything and pass error messages to
windows so we get good diagnostics.
Made start on stage 2 installation. Implemented a status file that
keeeps track of where we are in the installation process and allows
installation from media sequences.

I got a lot of
"getty repeating too quickly on port %s, sleeping"
from init.bsdi, it means that getty start and exit in five seconds.
This is common situation for poor quality Russian phone lines:
modem got CONNECT message and after retries got NO CARRIER.
So I introduce spacing count, it means that this warning and
sleep occurse only after GETTY_NSPACE times of sequental attempts.

I found (and fix) ugly bugs in init.bsdi (this bugs not present
in old init)
1) Init don't setup TERM environment variable for default terminal
type from /etc/ttys before calling getty/window.
2) When "kill -1 1" issued, init don't restart getty when
/etc/ttys parameters was changed (it only kill "off" end empty entries).
3) Small memory leak if "window" /etc/ttys parameter specified and
"kill -1 1" issued.
Obtained from: FreeBSD 1.x
being output if <= 1 rpos; there is a bug in the kernel which doesn't
quite get along with this. Changed default #rpos to 1, and fixed up
manual page. Converted nrpos to 1 if user specifies 0.
the use of the rotational position table.
2) Allow specification of 0 rotational positions (disables function).
3) Make rotdelay=0 and nrpos=0 by default.
The purpose of the above is to optimize for modern SCSI (and IDE) drives
that do read-ahead/write-behind.
DANGER WILL ROBINSON!
_PATH_UNIX is currently defined as the literal string "don't use this".
I am of two minds about this myself, but wanted to get something into the
tree as quickly as possible.
modload doesn't honor it's -p argument.
It also will destroy the input file when you don't specify an output
symbol file with -o.
