Or I should ask in -current? My understanding from reading sysinstall(8) is that the sysinstall binary needs to have LOAD_CONFIG_FILE set in the environment, not the release build. Try adding it to the Makefile for sysinstall, and see what happens... However, I have recently set up a custom install script, which simply has the default name, install.cfg. As long as it is located in the root of your mfsroot file system, sysinstall will load it. If you don't have a particular need to give it a different name, you might give it a go.
