 I can't really see why this fails, so I will have to set up a test
 environment to reproduce the problem.  I hope to get this done tomorrow.
 
 If anybody else has any ideas as to why this fails, please let me know.

 Are theese all the variables you are expecting to see in rc.conf (minus
 the one from your package of course)?  That is, does sysinstall itself
 set all the rc.conf variables it is supposed to?
 
 Just to be sure:  Your package contain a script like the "post" script
 script from the PXE article, but set the conf variable directly to
 /etc/rc.conf, correct?
