>Description:
	sysinstall(8) today have bogus checks of the fourth octet of a
IPv4 address is 0 or 255.
The below diff remove these, and add a new check that the address specified
is not the network or broadcast address.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to configure a FreeBSD machine with the ip address 10.0.1.0 with a 
netmask of 255.255.254.0 (/23), which is a perfect valid host address.
>Fix:
