Update installer to current version (1.1.4)

Hi all,

The attached patch updates the installer packages used by the
release-building process to the latest versions (collectively referred
to as version 1.1.4.)

This fixes a few bugs in the installer and adds a few features. 
Unfortunately I don't have an organized set of release notes to go with
this update, but most of the things that have been added or fixed are
fairly minor.  Some of the features include netbooting (I don't know
much about this yet; maybe Scott can fill in some of the details) and
being able to flag subpartitions as MFS-mounted when installing.

To test it yourself, apply this patch to src/nrelease/Makefile and do a
'make installer_release' from that directory.

Or, if you have more bandwidth than processor cycles, or are just plain
lazy :), you can download an ISO snapshot that includes the new
installer from:

  http://www.bsdinstaller.org/iso-images/dfly-2005.0131.iso.bz2

NOTE, however, that due to slightly bad timing, this is a snapshot of
DragonFly-CURRENT from less than 24 hours ago, complete with the recent
libc changes... I don't know how stable it is yet... it seems OK, so for
the purpose of testing the installer, I think it should be fine.

Thanks,
-Chris
