69eead77ff New image framework generation
The CD now boots directly from the ISO 9660 filesystem instead of using
MBR partitioning with Minix file systems. This saves some space on the
CD and reduces memory requirements by some unknown amount as the root
ramdisk is completely eliminated.

The x86 hard drive image creation is also rewritten in the same
fashion.

The setup is modified to be more NetBSD-like (unpacking sets
tarballs instead of blindly copying the CD contents). Splitting MINIX
into sets is done in another commit due to it being a nightmare to
rebase.

Since MINIX lacks union mounts for now, a bunch of ramdisks are
generated at run-time to make parts of the filesystem writeable for the
CD. This solution isn't ideal, but it's enough for an installation CD.

0c3983b25a update/fix manpage support
. add bsd-style MLINKS to minix man set, restoring aliases
	  (e.g. man add64 -> int64)
	. update daily cron script to run makewhatis and restore makewhatis
	  in man Makefile (makedb), restores functionality of man -k
	. netbsd imports of man, mdocml, makewhatis, libutil, apropos
	. update man.conf with manpage locations, restoring man [-s] <section>
	. throws out some obsolete manpages

9748a6536e Fixed an mtree bugs that caused permissions and ownerships for / to
be wrong.

Made the install process quieter when install already done.

rc and daily now is more readonly-/usr aware (for cd).

4c80170111 Made things a little more boot-cd friendly (specifically readonly /usr).
Also /etc/rc automatically determines where /usr should come from based
on where the ramdisk was copied from.
