I have created a Jumpstart server using the guide located at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/pxe/index.html

I am trying to set configure settings in rc.conf using a post-install
script that is installed using a custom created package.

However, it seems that when the machine reboots after sysinstall is
run my custom rc.conf is replaced by one generated by sysinstall.

One workaround I have for this is to create a rc.conf.local which does
seem to work. However, there is still a sysinstall generated rc.conf
with different values which leads to confusion.

Is there a way to prevent sysinstall from writing over my new rc.conf
or a way to not make it generate that file at all? I would rather have
a file named rc.conf than rc.conf.local for simplicity's sake.
