I have configured an offline copy of the GA repo, and my own site repo containing a first-boot-script.

If I use DefaultFixed networking, it works as expected, with a hands-off install, auto-reboot, running the first-boot script, and then rebooting to remove the first-boot script, so my system is configured with my customizations.

If I use Automatic networking, the same script fails, because it can't access files via NFS.
The script has a dependency on multi-user-server. (I tried it also with multi-user, both work for DefaultFixed).

I have tried enabling nlockmgr, nfs/status and nfs/client in the script before accessing the NFS files, and I have checked that it has a default route (the NFS server is on the same subnet as the client). I have tried with enabling DNS, and also with using /net/<ip-address> and it still fails.

I can't login after it fails, as it manages to do something so that the root password is not accepted on the console.

root is defined in the manifest as a normal user, and I can successfully login with DefaultFixed, but not with Automatic.

What's the problem with Automatic and enabling network access?
Is there some other dependency which needs to be satisfied, or is there something which needs to be done to allow NFS to work with Automatic?

Why isn't Automatic automatic???

Cheers
Frank
