Yes, making this process easier with Sysinstall would be a Good 
Thing(tm).  Especially I see the need here due to the widespread use of 
FreeBSD in enterprise environments.  This topic will certainly come up 
again and again.

What I would like to see is a customized boot disk that, after loading the 
kernel etc, goes into a script where you input the critical info (IP, DNS, 
... ).  It's required to ask the Crypto Questions, I understand -- however, 
we could "answer" those in the *.cfg file, to avoid the prompts.

IMHO, this shouldn't be too difficult to implement.   But it would be great 
to pool in everyone's ideas, so that everyone's needs are considered before 
commiting such changes.

Anyone else have some feedback on this?
