I'm guessing that you've already looked at
/usr/src/release/sysinstall/install.cfg - that's a good starting point.

You only configure the network in install.cfg if you're doing a network
install. These values (as far as I know) do not persist after the
installation.

Why not put /etc/rc.conf and so forth onto a floppy, and add them to the
system after installation?
