This adds initial support for FreeBSD (8.0,8.1,8.2) media importing.
There are some additional manual steps that have to be taken in order
to actually get the install to work, but this sets you up and puts you
in a good spot so those are pretty minimal. I'll work on documenting
the manual stuff on the Cobbler wiki when I get a minute. It's mostly
changing the name of the pxeboot file (our kernel) that's found in the
media to pxeboot.bs, which isn't found in the media and needs to be
created and added to the media. Doug and I discussed a few different
ways we might deal with this.... and we can discuss them here.... but
for now just manually updating the name of the kernel following media
import works (from my chair).

I've tested this quite a few times.

Thank you very much Jonathan - do you think your approach will also
work for OBSD or is it FreeBSD specific? Can FreeBSD be passed a
kickstart file? or are you limited to only installing preconfigured
images?
