(I have 7 FreeBSD boxes and they keep multiplying!) An option to save current configuration parameter used on one machine at the end of sysinstall back to the boot disk is a pretty idea. One can make an installation floppy with default parameter by oneself, but it is a lot of work. I would like to see this option in a new installation floppy. For individual user, this is not useful. For a cluster admin, it is very useful. Good thought, -Jin
