I've read several articles out there that address different means to automate (or standardize, for internal purposes) FreeBSD installations. One article (which was older) spoke of scripting sysinstall via an install.cfg with some custom pkg modules to do edits. The other, exploiting the PXE capability of the newer (Intel) NICs. I'm interested in what people are doing now - what has had the better success rate, etc. I realize this is all dependent upon one's environment - mine will be more ISP-related, but will require some flexibility for different servers. I've also heard of people utilizing GNU CFEngine for this type of procedure, which I find interesting - it's a complex package, but seems to be very functional if you have time/patience to apply it. Thanks...
