    The install.cfg mechanism is pretty wicked.

    Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a really efficient way
    to provide new clients (or class of clients) an install.cfg
    without rebuilding an MFSROOT image.
    Possibly a TFTP or NFS URL passed from the DHCP server
    ->  boot loader ->  kernel sysctl ->  sysinstall(8).

Thoughts or other ideas?

You can configure sysinstall in your install.cfg to execute shell commands, including any fetch-like command. Some scripting should be possible to do what you require. I wrote about it here:

However, I never really went on and tested this, let me know if this works.
