[PC-BSD Dev] Installer Upgrade

[Kennedy Kasina]

Hello,

I have redesigned bits of the system installer targeted for release 9.1. Do
have a peep and tell me what you think about it. I have attached the source
code. Just compile and run.

Its not the complete thing - just a blueprint of the idea in mind.


Regards,
Kennedy
