Hi,

I have a machine running FreeBSD 7.1, and now I would like to  
"replicate" it to other machines in our cluster. Other machines have  
smaller disks, and a different processor, but all are amd64.

Is there a way to do this kind of installation (either by copying  
content, or installing and then copying /etc) in automated fashion? I  
can set up the netboot environment (since I'm using FAI to install  
linux on the same machines).

Cheers,
Nikola
