than $4. Introduce $BASEBITSDIR for clarity and to avoid repeating this
mistake in the future. Fixing this ensures that we pick up newly built
boot bits native to the target rather for/from the host.
- Apply some of the argument quoting fixes done in r287635 but missing in
later revisions.
Recent changes to makefs and mkimg have led to situations where the
disconnect between this script and the versions installed on the host cause
failures. Provide a way to work around this that doesn't require the
installation of new versions to the host system if that's not desired.
With this change mkisoimages.sh will honour the $ETDUMP, $MAKEFS and $MKIMG
environment variables but fall back to the previous behaviour of finding them
within $PATH.

This keeps the existing El Torito entries for BIOS and UEFI boot code and
adds a GPT in the ISO image's System Area containing boot code for BIOS that
will load /boot/loader from the ISO filesystem and execute it. We then use
etdump to find the EFI System Partition image in the El Torito catalog and
add an entry to the GPT that allows EFI to find it.

UEFI booting requires an EFI System Partition (ESP). On most storage devices
this will be in a specific partition type. To allow booting from CD/ISO
filesystems, UEFI will look for an ESP in the form of a FAT filesystem image
embedded in the image. Historically FreeBSD has added one of these to its
amd64 ISO images but marked it as simply another i386 boot image. Luckily for
us most UEFI implementations are rather forgiving and work this out for us.
This change adds the ability to mark a boot image as being a UEFI image. It
also modifies our ISO generation to use this marking for the UEFI image we
embed.

Due to recent and upcoming changes to add additional functionality to
the EFI loader its now bigger than the space allocates for efiboot.img
so increase this in line with boot1.efifat.

- Rework MANIFEST generation and parsing via bsdinstall(8).
- Allow selecting debugging distribution sets during install.
- Rework bsdinstall(8) to fetch remote debug distribution sets
when they are not available on the local install medium.
- Allow selecting additional non-GENERIC kernels during install.
At present, GENERIC is still required, and installed by default.

as part of the release if MAKE_ISOS is set. Will also build the
first CD with packages (in addition to the "minimal" CD) if CD_EXTRA_BITS
points to them. This probably need a bit more work to get fully useful,
but it at least covers the basics for now.
