  Modified files:
    usr.sbin/sysinstall  index.c 
  Log:
  Add support for an additional field to the packages/INDEX file.  If
  present, this field specifies the media volume that the disc is
  contained on.  If the volume of a given packages is different than the
  current volume of mediaDevice, then the user is prompted --
  
    "This is disc #%d.  Package %s is on disc #%d\n"
    "Would you like to switch discs now?\n"
  
  If the user selects yes, then DEVICE_SHUTDOWN is called and the user
  is then prompted --
  
    "Please remove disc #%d from you drive, and add disc #%d"
  
  This works well for a carefully crafted INDEX file, but more work
  needs to be done to sort dependencies on a given package based on the
  volume that they reside on, to minimize the amount of disc flipping
  required of the user.
  
  This commit is a no-op for normal INDEX files and FreeBSD CDs.  These
  additional features are only used if the INDEX and cdrom.inf file have
  multi-volume support.
