012251a378 Say welcome to 'sade', the SysAdmins Disk Editor. It's the fdisk and disklabel part
of sysinstall. So sysinstall may retire now, we have the important non-install part
of it covered.

ATM it doesn't understand GEOM stuff (like mirror, stripe, raid, ...), but patches
to change this and to clean it up internally are more than welcome.

2696c9b917 Add `mediaOpen' function. This function mounts selected media device.
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.

a683d70aaa Teach sysinstall about the "srescue" distribution, which contains the
contents of /usr/src/rescue.  Until now, the files were shipped with
releases but sysinstall would ignore them (resulting in a non-buildable
source tree).

4aed731cf3 Initial pass at shifting sysinstall(8) to install X.org instead of XFree86.

e629b37603 Join the 21st century: Cryptography is no longer an optional component
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.

60f91e4cad Switch to using XFree86 version 4. We do this thru installing the package,
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.

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.
