something applies to. So change #ifndef to an explicit list of defines.
* Treate sparc64 and ia64 as 64-bit platforms, which means larger roots.
* sparc64 should halt back to the firmware, not reset.
* sparc64 doesn't need to play MS-DOS/BIOS partition crap games.

survive a sysinstall Ctrl-C -> 'Restart'. This fixes another annoying
bug where restarting sysinstall will try to reload kernel modules and
do other external things that have already been done. For now, use
these persistent variables to keep track of module, usbd, and pccardd
initialization.

no as a default. Sysinstall should be both less dangerous and less
annoying as a result of this change, though that's just my opinion
(since they're the defaults which annoy ME the least :).

- Clean up crunchgen related routine.
- Add PC-98 support.
TODO:
o Documentation
o Fix some messages for PC-98
o Decrease the size of fixit.flp to 1.2MB
o I18N (See: http://www.jp.FreeBSD.org/BootAsia/index.html)

setting 'usbd_enable' in rc.conf during nwe installs if USB is detected.
Also, since usbd already handles USB mice automatically, note that the
mouse setup section in sysinstall only applies to non-USB mice.
Now we know which variables are internal and which need to be
backed to /etc/rc.conf.site. rc.conf is not touched now.
Also kget kernel change information back properly and set up a loader.rc
file to use it.
so that we're more useful in multi-user mode. This is still not
100%, but it pulls in a lot more than it used to. Some of the "composite"
variables in /etc/sysconfig are going to take more work.
o Always write /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts if it makes sense to do
so.
o Reset media properly when reselecting. Longstanding bogon.
o Pull SIGPIPE handling out of package.c; I'm actually hoping to handle
this differently shortly.
o Fix bug where cancel in TCP setup dialog still checked data fields.
I think this closes a PR, but I will have to go look.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
1. Don't use the MSDOSFS code for accessing FreeBSD distribution data.
Use Robert Nordier's stand-alone DOS I/O library for the purpose.
It this works as well as Robert says it does, it should drastically reduce
(or even eliminate) our "I can't install from my DOS partition!" calls.
2. As a result of the above, go to stdio file descriptors for all
media types.
3. Taking advantage of #2, start using libftpio for FTP transfers instead
of maintaining our own parallel version of the FTP transfer code.
Yay! I ripped something out for a change!

Add a facility to invoke subsystems directly by naming them on
sysinstall's command-line when running post-install. A replacement
for pkg_manage might, for example, be `/stand/sysinstall configPackages'
Fix bogon where upgrade shell was entered with tty modes spammed.
Fix bug with release name checking in ftp_strat. Turned a bunch of
bogus exit()s into proper calls to systemShutdown().
