Subject:   headless ethernet install
Message-ID:  <200204190151.g3J1pbk54643@groggy.anc.acsalaska.net>

i asked this question before but got no response,
and - well - maybe i wasn't clear enough, so i
am trying again.

sysinstall docs say that it is capable of a
"headless install" over a serial cable.

i would like to know if you can do a
"headless install" over an ethernet
and/or the internet - *including*
the ability to partition/format
the destination drive.

(maybe using md? or vn? is there any way?)

i have been able to overwrite old installions
with sysinstall over ethernet/interent,
but don't know how to get sysinstall
to repartition and newfs.  it skips
this step installing over a network.

please Cc off list, thank you.
