I recently switched from (RedHat) Linux for various reason. Is anyone aware of a a "Kickstart" equivalent for FreeBSD? RedHat's Kickstart system allows you to automate the install process. You make a single install floppy, stick it in the floppy drive, turn on (or reboot) the computer, wait 5 to 20 minutes (depending upon the size of the install), remove the floppy, and then reboot into a freshly installed OS. (Alternatively, you can have the Kickstart process rewrite the floppy, turing it into a book disk. In this case, you don't need to remove the floppy, and Kickstart can then automatically reboot the machine when installation is complete. In this scenario, you can leave floppies sitting in remote, network accessible machines. When you want to reinstall the OS on them, you write a Kickstart image to the floppy, reboot the server, and then simply wait, all of which can be done remotely over the network.) I've done a lot of searching for Kickstart equivalents for FreeBSD, and it looks like the closest thing is /stand/sysinstall's scripting capabilities. I'm planning on extending /stand/sysinstall to increase the degree to which installation can be automated. Specficially: * Hard drive partitioning. I can press "A" both during the primary ("slice level"?) and secondary ("partition level"?) partitioning during a manual install. However, I cannot currently script secondary level "auto" partitioning. * Network configuration. I can manually configure the network interface via sysinstall. But I cannot automate this process unless: 1. I use DHCP 2. I know the name of the ethernet device I want to be able to specify, via a script, the IP address, host name, domain, netmask, etc. I also to specify, via a script, that I don't know the ethernet device name so sysinstall should just use the first ethernet device it finds. I recognize that sysinstall cannot always autodetect the ethernet device, so the script will fail in these cases. I'm pretty confident that make these extensions to sysinstall, as they are simply extensions which allow the scripts to access already extant sysinstall functionality. I'd like to make them in such a way that they can be merged into the FreeBSD project so that others have easy access to them. Are there any guidelines I should follow? I searched the handbooks for instructions and guidelines on becoming a FreeBSD developer, but didn't find anything. Perhaps I missed it? I'm planning on modifying sysinstall in 4-8-stable. It looks like sysinstall has recently moved from /usr/src/release/sysinstall to /usr/src/usr.sbin/sysinstall? Have there been other significant changes to sysinstall recently? Many thanks, Matthew. ______________________________________________________________________ matthew@syrah.us From owner-freebsd-config@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Aug 2 11:50:17 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-config@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 68FB937B401 for ; Sat, 2 Aug 2003 11:50:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.speakeasy.net (mail12.speakeasy.net [216.254.0.212]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BE74043FE5 for ; Sat, 2 Aug 2003 11:50:16 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jhb@FreeBSD.org) Received: (qmail 833 invoked from network); 2 Aug 2003 18:50:15 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO server.baldwin.cx) ([216.27.160.63]) (envelope-sender )encrypted SMTP for ; 2 Aug 2003 18:50:15 -0000 Received: from laptop.baldwin.cx (laptop.baldwin.cx [192.168.0.4]) by server.baldwin.cx (8.12.9/8.12.9) with ESMTP id h72IoB9s009392; Sat, 2 Aug 2003 14:50:11 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from jhb@FreeBSD.org) Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.5.4 on FreeBSD X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: <20030801200829.GA23119@silence.syrah.us> Date: Sat, 02 Aug 2003 14:50:32 -0400 (EDT) From: John Baldwin To: Matthew cc: freebsd-config@freebsd.org Subject: RE: Extending sysinstall a la Kickstart X-BeenThere: freebsd-config@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Installation and Configuration List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 02 Aug 2003 18:50:17 -0000 On 01-Aug-2003 Matthew wrote: > Hello, > > I'm a new freebsd user.

Have there been other significant > changes to sysinstall recently? Your best bet is to make use of shell scripts that generate config files. This is what I do to accomplish similar tasks, thus, you can do: install.cfg ------------ command=sh /stand/installtype.sh system config=installtype.cfg LoadConfig and have installtype.sh generate installtype.cfg on the fly. I added dialog to the /stand crunchgen and used this sort of thing to reduce the install for our custom boxes at work down to a couple of simple menus for the common cases. sysinstall's scripting support is quite braindead, and a better solution is not to keep hacking on it I think, but to embed a real scripting language like python into sysistall. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/
