Since all will be a set configuration, the only questions needed are the IP setup and root password. Now Ive looked all over the net and found alot of people have had the same problem, but there seem to be very few answers. I read through /usr/src/release/sysinstall and have seen that it will take the install.cfg *if* it is in the path it can find at the time of booting. So I know it needs to go into the mfsroot filesystem. Now I played with the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp and can do it with floppies but I cant seem to get the file system into the kernel for the boot.flp. Most of the hints on the net seem to use the 'make release' in /usr/src/release and the write_mfs_in_kernel but make release fails to compile, and compiling write_mfs_in_kernel and trying it on a current kernel also does not work since it wont allow it. So Im looking for any information or to be pointed somewhere that may provide me with what Im missing. Im running the current 4.4. Any help would be appreciated.
