Well, probably not the way you have in mind (i.e. full autoinstall) as
you still have to point the installer to the "{install,upgrade}.conf"
manually: i.e. choose (A) for autoinstall, it'll then fail, escape to
shell, mount the disk with your config file, go back to the installer
and point it to the file - the rest of the installation/upgrade is then
fully automatic.
I use a 3-line (that includes a keyboard layout) 'upgrade.conf' to
upgrade to new snapshots.
