Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but sysinstall can be scripted. I'm about to try it myself, but from what I can tell, you edit/usr/src/release/sysinstall/install.cfg and then do a 'make release' in /usr/src/release....(someone more knowlegeble on this please chip in)... So what u end up with is CD1 (and optionally CD2) that usually ships as the distribution set... man release(7) should have more on this...
