Hi,

I read from the 'sysinstall' manpage that you can create unattended FreeBSD
installations by using a configuration file, like the one supplied in
/usr/src/release/sysinstall/install.cfg.

I have gotten hold of a installation file that contains the following lines:

################################
# setup machine
sendmail_enable:NO
moused_port:/dev/psm0
moused_type:auto
moused_enable:YES
saver:logo
font8x8:iso-8x8
font8x14:iso-8x14
font8x16:iso-8x16
keyrate:fast
portmap_enable:NO
inetd_enable:NO

Is this a syntax that can be used to automatically configure /etc/rc.conf at
installation time?

I have found no mention of this particular syntax in the 'sysinstall'
manpage, nor anywhere else on the web for that matter.

Has anyone used this type of syntax before? Does it work? (I don't have a
machine to try it on, unfortunately). If so, where can I find more
information on this?

Thanks!

-Martin
