As the man page says:
This product is currently at the end of its life cycle and will eventu-
ally be replaced.
You're right that there is no obvious documented way to modify options
as part of a scripted install. But...
# /stand/sysinstall installRoot=/foo optionsEditor
will set your install root to /foo and pops you into the Options
Editor. I'm afraid you're going to have to UTSL, or work by trial and
error to make sysinstall do exactly what you want.
Cheers,
Matthew
