 With a quick test, the following revisions in src/distrib
 can be applied without conflicts, but they also changes
 two default settings:
  - sysinst uses FFSv2 by default on amd64 and i386
  - sysinst enables log (wapbl) by default
 
 I have no idea if we should pull all of them or revert part of them.
 
 Futhermore, not all msg translations are prepared as noted in the log.
 
 ---
 cvs update -kk -j1.45 -j1.46 utils/sysinst/bsddisklabel.c
  - Default to UFS2 if the platform can boot from it.
  - Default logging on.
 
 ---
 cvs update -kk -j1.28 -j1.29 alpha/instkernel/ramdisk/list 
  Also put bootxx_ffsv2 into installation ramdisk.

 cvs update -kk -j1.64 -j1.65 utils/sysinst/arch/i386/md.h
  - introduce machine dependent DEFAULT_UFS2 and HAVE_UFS2_BOOT flags in md.h
  - use those flags to change default ffs type, rather than adding
    __HAVE_UFS2_BOOT in <machine/types.h>

  The similar check is done in check_one_root() in label.c.

  Improve UFS2 root handling on sysinst:
  - add HAVE_UFS2_BOOT define on ports which have UFS2 capable loader
  - reject UFS2 for root file system on ports !HAVE_UFS2_BOOT
  - add a MI function to get bootxx name from root file system type
    per MD defines and remove md_bootxx_name() from arch/i386/md.c,
    so that alpha can use bootxx_ffsv2 for UFS2 as well as x86

 cvs update -kk -j1.46 -j1.47 utils/sysinst/arch/alpha/md.c 
  Make sure to free(3) memory allocated by asprintf(3) in bootxx_name().
 
 ---
 cvs update -kk -j1.153 -j1.154 utils/sysinst/msg.mi.en 
  Make No_Bootcode message a bit more verbose.
