Hello,

I need to install freebsd on a large cluster of machines. I am using
pxe boot to do this. It essentially sets up your machine to download
a kernel and an mfs_root over the network. My mfsroot is a
superset of mfsroot.flp from the freebsd distribution. In
mfsroot.flp, the /stand directory contains a bunch of executables
hardlinked to the same file. 

a> I'd like to know how this executable was created. 

I am using sysinstall to setup my machines. Since I don't want my
install procedure to be interactive, I am running sysinstall in batch
mode (I have an install.cfg which directs its execution). Within
install.cfg, I have the following at the top: 'noninteractive=YES'.
Inspite of this, right after sysinstall begins to run, it asks me if
i'd like to setup IPV6. I don't want to use IPV6 and I'd like to get
around this prompt.

b> Does anyone know how to get around the IPV6 prompt in sysinstall?


regards,
Rohit Grover.
