Unfortunately, there is no edit screen in sysint for network
configuration. Network setup is done in questions-answers manner. I agree that
edit screen is better configuration interface then series of questions, but
this question for another patch :-).

Here:

are the last version of my patch and screenshots how it looks now (I have
taken into account Alan's note about multi-way questions). Also
netbsd-INSTALL_XEN3_DOMU kernel image is provided.
