[sysinstall] save _ftpPath to /etc/rc.conf

[MIHIRA Sanpei Yoshiro]

Hi.
Hackers.

  I always install FreeBSD via FTP.
  But sysinstall forgot FTP server name after reboot and restart...

  I quick hacked sysinstall and it save to /etc/rc.conf as below
line and reuse URL.

# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- #
_ftpPath="ftp://ftp.cc.keio.ac.jp/pub/FreeBSD/";

Current problem:
        o _ftpPath is defined in sysinstall.h.
          I hope to change appropriate strings. 
          (for example remove ``_'' character)
        o It can't save media type(FTP, NFS, CDROM...).
        o I hope to reuse to MASTER_SITE_BACKUP for ports system.
