Hi all, in an effort to create a jumpstart/kickstart-like environment for easy OS deployment i, ofcourse, ran into install.cfg for FreeBSD. It works great, but since it requires a modified image (with an inserted install.cfg file) it's not a great option. It even needs a BSD box or CentOS with plus kernel to access the ufs filesystem inside the image... Is there any effort beeing done to allow for a more convenient way to load the install.cfg? Say, like linux does with kickstart/preseed files? Just fill in some weblocation as kernel parameter and you're done :) I would suspect this beeing coded in sysinstall somewhere, or perhaps init? Any suggestions/help is appreciated. Regards Harm
