Hi,
We are planning to use FreeBSD + Kronometrix [1] as a ready image.
For that we are planning to modify the original ISO image and add
our own software to it.
We want users to perform a basic FreeBSD installation from the ISO image
CD or USB, but answering to some questions only, not all.
For example, we want to ask interactively:
* the keymap
* the networking configuration
* the storage ZFS by default (because we dont know the customer storage)
* and the root password
the rest being automated. I understood we need to modify the original
ISO by adding our bits. Some questions:
1. Should we create a /etc/installerconfig file, where we shall have our
config ?
2. Should we define there something like ...
DISTRIBUTIONS="kernel.txz base.txz kronometrix.txz"
bsdinstall keymap
bsdinstall netconfig
bsdinstall zfsboot
#!/bin/sh
echo "Running post installation"
3. Can we run interactive and non-interactive tasks withing the
installerconfig file ? Where is this documented ? bsdinstall seems
short in explanations and descriptions regarding this part.
