Through the install.cfg framework you can reduce this to one option --
selecting 'load config' and hitting enter four times.  Afterwards it can
be completely automated.  In fact there's enough space on the 3.0-RELEASE
boot floppy to cram it on there :-)

This is documented on the (uninstalled) sysinstall man page and sample
install.cfg, which is in src/release/sysinstall.
