At work I have created a installation floppy based on the PicoBSD install
floppy (which is broken currently - at least was when I did the install
my install floppy). It automatically partions the HD and then install a
preconfigured FreeBSD using restore(8) from a CD-ROM or a NFS share.

It works really great. It has cut install time in half or something
like that.

I unfortunately don't have time to clean it up for others at the moment
but if anyone is interested I think I will have some time to do it in
a few weeks.

I never tried to get it in to the FreeBSD since none of the "PicoBSD
commiters" seems to have the time to actually commit / look at stuff...
(as happend with PR misc/28938 which nobody seemed to notice...)
