Log message:
Extend autoinstall(8) feature:

- Ask for responsefile location (url or local path) if dhcp discovery
fails for location or mode.  If 'next-server' is found in dhcp lease
file, provide a default url http://next-server/install.conf.

- Ask for installer mode if the specified response file name does not
match *install.conf or *upgrade.conf.

- If present, use /auto_install.conf or /auto_upgrade.conf as response
file for unattended installation or upgrade.

- Automatically start installer in unattended mode if either one of
these files is present when the system boots.

- Document changes in manpage and installation notes.

I'm following -current and decided to try autoinstall(8) from /auto_upgrade.conf when I moved to newer snapshot. I made a custom auto_upgrade.conf on my root [sd2a] partition but when I boot a newer bsd.rd, auto_upgrade.conf is not on the miniroot. I escaped to shell, mounted sd2a on /mnt and copied auto_upgrade.conf to miniroot.
Then Autoupgrade completed as it should.
The question is whether there are any easier steps to make auto_upgrade from local file, not by using dhcp/tftp/http?
Thanks,
Atanas
