you can make your own bsd.rd. this is a method i have used for custom
auto-installs for years (among other uses).
make sure to get the src{,sys}.tar.gz files for whatever snapshot you are
using.
# cp auto_upgrade.conf /usr/src/distrib/miniroot/
to '/usr/src/distrib/miniroot/list', add the line:
COPY ${CURDIR}/auto_upgrade.conf auto_upgrade.conf
# cd /usr/src && make obj
# cd /usr/src/distrib/special/libstubs && make
# cd /usr/src/distrib/`arch -s`/ramdisk_cd && make
this should leave you with with a bsd.rd in obj/, just drop it in as a
replacement for the install one.
