>Description:
I am working on automating via PXE network installs of FreeBSD
for lab machines. I was able to automate nearly everything -
except the IPv6 prompt wouldn't go away. I finally found the
tryRTSOL variable - setting it to "NO" did not have any effect.
Looking at the code, it looks like YES does the right thing,
NO forces a *user prompt*, and "HELLNO" does what *I* want (don't
try, don't ask, just do IPv4).
>How-To-Repeat:
Install with a custom install.cfg, where tryRTSOL=YES is defined
>Fix:
Set tryRTSOL to anything but YES or NO. In my case, HELLNO.
