Add EFI support to the installer. This requires that the kernel provide a sysctl to determine what firmware is in use. This sysctl does not exist yet, so the following blocks are in front of the wheels: - I've provisionally called this "hw.platform" after the equivalent thing on PPC - The logic to check the sysctl is short-circuited to always choose BIOS. There's a comment in the top of the file about how to turn this off.
If IA64 acquired a boot1.efifat-like thing (probably with very few modifications), the same code could be adapted there.

Import bsdinstall. This is meant to be (eventually in conjunction with pc-sysinstall) a replacement for sysinstall in the 9.0 release and beyond. Currently supported platforms are sparc64, pc98, i386, amd64, powerpc, and powerpc64. Integration into the build system will occur in the coming weeks.
Merging with pc-sysinstall will use this code as a frontend, while temporarily retaining the interactive partition editor here. This work will be done in parallel with improvements on this code and release integration.
Thanks to all who have provided testing and comments!
