No it can't, but speaking as someone who used this feature in =
sysinstall=85 Good riddance :)

I wrote a shell script which does an install itself (i.e. no bsdinstall =
- which is just [mostly] a shell script).

It is 200 lines, a fair chunk of which is pre-canned stuff to go into =
rc.conf, loader.conf, etc..

I also modified the rc.local script the installer uses to add an option =
to call my script.
