 Let me suggest a more produce step forward. What if we change the
 sysinst networking questions to:
 
    How do you want to configure your network?
    (1) DHCP and IPv6 autoconfiguration on all interfaces.
    (2) * in the background.
    (3) Selective configuration.
 
 if the choice is (3), the current questions are run. For (1) and (2),
 sysinst will use run dhcpcd on all interface and set dhcpcd_flags to -b
 for (2) on rc.conf.
