Well the BUGS section of the sysinstall manpages says it all :-( . this bug, i've also found the auto-partitionning feature buggy. BTW, I've just selected distSetMinimum and in this case kernel was istalled. But except of this a problem I found a new trouble: system commands which I've put in install.cfg doesn't seems to be executed. It just stops with the error 'system -1 command not found' or something like that. Even when the commands are pretty simple like this: command=/sbin/shutdown -p now system It doesn't work and stops with the error. How about your commands? Can you show some examples of your install.cfg here if it works properly? :) Sorry, i didn't use the system directive on my install.cfg. I think that the best way to customize your jumpstart installation is to make and install (with a package directive within your install.cfg) a custom post-installation package (see http://people.freebsd.org/~alfred/pxe/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/pxe/article.html) . You could then put all your command in the post shell script of this package. This is what i've used here, and it worked just fine.

But after installing it on the test machine and after rebooting of that machine the system was unable to boot. Because the /boot/kernel/ directory was empty, no modules, no kernels been in there. Why the sysintsall didn't copy GENERIC kernel to my hard disk?? All distribution was copied but only the kernel and modules weren't. Is it a bug or a feature?
