For example, you can dynamically generate and load configuration file
depending on the hardware configuration with the following template:
mediaSetCDROM
mediaOpen
command='/dist/rescue/sh /dist/scripts/install.sh'
system
mediaClose
configFile=/tmp/generated.cfg
loadConfig
Now we have full access to files on the media before installation begins.
concensus seems to be that is best left for doing post-install.

releases but sysinstall would ignore them (resulting in a non-buildable
source tree).

of releases. The -DNOCRYPT build option still exists for anyone who
really wants to build non-cryptographic binaries, but the "crypto"
release distribution is now part of "base", and anyone installing from a
release will get cryptographic binaries.

so know we have proper PKG registration and dependency information.
This is a WIP for 5.0 DP #1, so it is still rough around the edges and
does not GC the old XFree86 3.3.6 handling stuff that should be GC'ed.

a few cosmetic problems:
o Allow it to work with scripts (see man page or install.cfg file).
o Preserve old softupdates flag across newfs toggles
o Clean up partitioned/labelled flag handling
o Don't ask for MBR choice again if you've already written it out.
o Actually document the new features.
I backed-out the changes in -current and didn't touch stable at all (I
thought I had my patch order reversed, not what actually happened).
AIEEE! I can't even blame the crack for this one since I broke my
crack pipe a few weeks ago. I think sleep deprivation gets the blame
for this one.
Medal for noticing this one goes to: Jim Bloom <bloom@acm.org>
bringing in DHCP support. The only thing I left out were Poul-Henning's
newfs changes since I'm not sure if he's brought the rest of that support
into -stable yet. If it turns out that this is the case, I'll MFC those
changes too.
