2d7cef1612 Remove the ability to upgrade via sysinstall. This feature has been flaky 
and broken for a number of years. freebsd-update now provides a reasonable
way to handle upgrades, so keeping this functionality in sysinstall only
serves to mislead users.

151a18cd10 Remove a bunch of code used to detect SMP on ((i386 && !pc98) || amd64) and 
offer to install an SMP kernel.  The way this worked was: on supported
platforms, code to read ACPI tables and BIOS MP tables was compiled into
sysinstall, and if an SMP kernel config was present in the source tree when
sysinstall was built, code that called it was also compiled.  Since we
haven't had SMP kernel configs in years, the latter was never compiled and
the former never ran.

This only removes dead and unreachable code; it does *not* remove the NCpus
variable, nor the code that sets it to 1, nor the code that asks the user to
select a kernel from a list.

910d8ea0aa 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.

d87a987086 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).

d37df47d31 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.

4807422fe7 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.

dd689bd571 Really finish softupdate setting from the label editor and fix 
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.
