Objet : Re: Specifying Install Root on non interactive sysinstall

Hi,
I'm looking for a solution to jumpstart FreeBSD on an non interactive way.
The solution provided by the Handbook recommend to use sysinstall program,
that's what I'm trying to do.
-sysinstall@ would have been a better choice for this question.
Cross-posting my reply.
The servers are using PXE boot to mount an mfsbsd filesystem, everything
works as expected until now.
I manually create the slice, labels and mount the partitions on /mnt
partition.
You might just want to try adding diskInteractive=YES to your
install.cfg file. That way, you don't have to manually
partition/slice/label your disk _before_ you load the config.
By setting diskInteractive, when installCommit is called, it will:
a. if `disk' is not set (e.g. disk=da0) throw up a menu to select which
disk you want to partition
b. throw you into the FDISK partition editor
c. throw you into diskabel
e. ask which boot code you want to install (if any) to the MBR
Just a suggestion.
Then I manually launch sysinstall loadConfig to install packages classes
but I didn't find the way to precise an Install Root for /mnt whereas it
works if I did it on a interactive way using the options menu.
Put this into your install.cfg:
# Required by distExtractAll (called indirectly by installCommit):
installRoot=/mnt
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Here is my install.cfg file:
--
# Turn on extra debugging.
debug=YES
# Ok, this ought to turn off ALL prompting, don't complain to me that you
# lost a machine because you netbooted it on the same subnet as this
# box
nonInteractive=YES
noWarn=YES
tryDHCP=YES
# My host specific data
hostname=polbsd
domainname=priv.atos.fr
# Which installation device to use
nfs=10.28.222.1:/opt/local/jumpstart/tftpboot/BSD/NFS
netDev=bge0
mediaSetNFS
# Select which distributions we want.
dists= base SMP manpages ports
Hmmm. Must be an older release. The SMP kernel has gone missing in
FreeBSD-8.x.
distSetCustom
# OK, everything is set. Do it!
installCommit
shutdown
