Nathan Whitehorn 6081c922d2 Prevent user astonishment by providing the shell option at the end, after
any installer-provided configuration files have been copied. This allows
users to edit their fstab, if desired, and to see what the installer has

explaining what dumpdev is and how to turn on/off crash dumps.  The folks

Nathan Whitehorn f68ebb0eec Swap FTP paths to be MACHINE/MACHINE_ARCH instead of MACHINE_ARCH/MACHINE.
This follows what the output of make targets looks like, and reduces the
number of directories needed on the FTP server, since we now have only one
architecture with multiple machine types (i386, which has i386 and pc98),
but 3 machines with 9 architectures between them (powerpc, mips, and arm).

Bjoern A. Zeeb 7986af23a4 Split netconfig into three parts:
- netconfig - what auto will call which in turn will check for
  IPv4 and IPv6 to be available and ask the user to configure it
  by calling
- netconfig_ipv4 doing DHCP and static IPv4 addresses, and
- netconfig_ipv6 doing rtsol and static IPv6 addresses,
and then checking, querying and updating resolv.conf upon return.
Both DHCP and rtsol (in the future) might update resolv.conf already so
we seed ourselves from that file if available.
