Ah, I see. Yeah, I only acconted for the obvious case when a net install was done. Having thought about it again, an easier solution will be to write your http_proxy export to /etc/rc.firsttime before rebooting into bsd.rd. If you have your update process scripted already, it's an easy additional line. The installer only appends commands so anything you have in rc.firsttime will be preserved. Tim.
