You might just want to try adding "diskInteractive=3DYES" to your install.cfg file. That way, you don't have to manually partition/slice/label your disk _before_ you load the config. By setting diskInteractive, when installCommit is called, it will: a. if `disk' is not set (e.g. disk=3Dda0) throw up a menu to select which disk you want to partition b. throw you into the FDISK partition editor c. throw you into diskabel e. ask which boot code you want to install (if any) to the MBR Just a suggestion. > Then I manually launch "sysinstall loadConfig" to install packages class= es but I didn't find the way to precise an "Install Root" for /mnt whereas = it works if I did it on a interactive way using the options menu.
