Re: Automated sysinstall install.cfg

2010-07-02 Thread Ross
TT is there a person who can help me to solve some problems with
TT sysinstall and its install.cfg.

TT How can i manage that my mfsroot executes custom commands ?

Before the installCommit command you generally only have access to
statically compiled commands (generally in the /stand directory) from
the mfsroot image used.

-= example lines in install.cfg
# Sleep for 15 seconds to stabilize things.
command=/stand/sleep 15
system
-=

After the installCommit command, a chroot will have occurred to the
installation mount point, and you must then use your installed binaries
to do work. Specify full paths for everything and note that there are
other oddities since not all things are online/configured, so try and
keep it as simple as possible.

Alternatively you could look at the pc-bsd installer. It will do advanced
setups  very easily, most of which are not possible with sysinstall (geom
stuff, zfs etc).

It will install standard freebsd, from a variety of formats. With a little
tinkering you should be able to detach the installer program from the
standard pcbsd image and use your own custom live os on a usb stick. You
would then have a lot of power.
