I want to make a custom FreeBSD install CD-ROM with additional commands available in the mfsroot image. Adding the new commands to the image is easy enough, and I've made an install.cfg file on the CD-ROM as well so that when the CD runs the commands in install.cfg are automatically executed. This all works, except none of the new binaries I add to the mfsroot image run during the automated sysinstall session. If I reference one of the default commands (the ones stored in /stand) they run fine, but if I add a new FreeBSD binary to the /stand directory (e.g. gmirror), the command fails.
How does it fail? Is the binary you added statically linked?
What's weird is that I can open a fixit shell after the install.cfg script fails and then run the same commands interactively and they work fine. Why would work these commands work in an interactive fixit shell but not during the automated sysinstall session?
Wild guess: the shared libraries are present somewhere else on the CD, which perhaps is either not mounted or not pointed to by LD_LIBRARY_PATH or similar until the fixit shell is run.
