Thanks for the report.

hostname.if(5) created by the installer are syntactically correct, your
SSID "Mike's" will produce lines like

        $ quote nwid "foo'bar"
        nwid 'foo'\''bar'

quote() is the function used in /usr/src/distrib/miniroot/install.sub
(the installer).

nestart(8) then parses these lines, see parse_hn_line().  This function
also seems correct and does not mangle quotes, spaces or the like.

Diff below fixes your issue: while reading hostname.if lines and feeding
them to parse_hn_line(), we simply must not interpret backslashes.

OK?
