Hello, I've been trying to use pre-configuration files for sysinstall in FreeBSD 2.2.1. I had working files for the old preconfiguration (FreeBSD 2.1.0). Settings regarding installation media, ipaddr., router, distributions and so on seems to work. What I can't get to work is the disk partitioning and labelling (and startup of installationprocess). Since I haven't been able to find any documentation on the subject I have tried to read the source code. That gave me some hints but I still can't get the disk configuration to work (has the keyword script changed?). Sysinstall sets the disk labelling variables though. If anyone is familiar with the new sysinstall pre-config I would be very glad to know what to do. (I haven't had time to look at FreeBSD 2.2.2 yet. Since there are some changes in the sysconfig files I don't want to switch to it yet, but if the pre-config in sysinstall is improved I will change to that release) Regards Johan Below is my config file.
