For very few boxes just making an 'ideal' machine and cloning may be easiest. For a few boxes - Do a man sysinstall - and see the scripting section. Or see this example: http://www.horseplay.demon.co.uk/freebsd_post_sysinstall.html for more complex setups - e.g. booting an install image off the net using PXE boot or an etherboot floppy - see http://www.xs4all.nl/~scorpio/sane2002/talk.pdf http://www.horseplay.demon.co.uk/freebsd_pxe.html http://www.tnpi.biz/computing/freebsd/pxe-netboot.shtml http://wiki.wirelessleiden.nl/wcl/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/NodeFactory Dw
