Thanks for the pointer! According to the sysinstall(8) manpage: If sysinstall is compiled with LOAD_CONFIG_FILE set in the envi-ronment (or in the Makefile) to some value, then that value will be used as the filename to automatically look for and load when sysinstall starts up and with no user interaction required. But when I did a "grep LOAD_CONFIG_FILE *" in /usr/src/release/sysinstall I couldn't find any #ifdef LOAD_CONFIG_FILE lines. In fact the only occurance was in systinall.8! Where did I go wrong?
