Import bsdinstall. This is meant to be (eventually in conjunction withpc-sysinstall) a replacement for sysinstall in the 9.0 release and beyond.Currently supported platforms are sparc64, pc98, i386, amd64, powerpc, andpowerpc64. Integration into the build system will occur in the comingweeks.Merging with pc-sysinstall will use this code as a frontend, whiletemporarily retaining the interactive partition editor here. This workwill be done in parallel with improvements on this code and releaseintegration.Thanks to all who have provided testing and comments!
