Take a look at the install floppy image. I used this to install several machines at one of my previous employers. I'm not sure the image actually works, but the ideas are there.

The guts are in the doinstall file stuck in /etc. Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | www.FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
