With 6.1-beta3 it work in mass (I not try install my kernel). With 6.1-beta4 and more fresh I can't get non-interactive installation. 1. I can't find how to select timezone non-interactive. 2. I can't good variant for installing my own kernel (now I use command=/dist/my.custom.installer system /dist/my.custom.installer -- simple script: #!/bin/sh cd /dist/kernels ./install.sh OILSPACE1 rm -rf /boot/kernel ln -s /boot/OILSPACE1 /boot/kernel but it's hack. It seems simpler to just setup OILSPACE1 as the GENERIC kernel on your install iso so everything else would work as intended. Doing that would require a small change to release/Makefile to make "GENERIC" a name you can set from the command line. I'm not sure when the custom installer script gets run but be sure to look at install.c:installFixupKernel as it might explain some of your problems. There was also a bug in the install.sh script that was fixed after BETA4. In general the recent changes for packaging+installing kernels should simplify _adding_ custom kernels to an install but not replacing GENERIC and/or SMP kernel configurations. Also I have question about making my own release. I can't understand, how to create my own loader.conf for pxeboot. Default not work -- machine panic with "no init" diagnose. Reason -- need string in loader.conf: vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:/dev/md0c" (I need some another strings for my own loader.conf) For creating release I use command: make release BUILDNAME=6.1-PRERELEASE CHROOTDIR=/usr/release \ CVSROOT=/home/ncvs EXTSRCDIR=/usr/src KERNELS=OILSPACE1 \ LOCAL_PATCHES=/usr/src_local_patches NO_FLOPPIES=yes NO_ISOS=yes \ NODOC=yes NOPORTS=yes RELEASETAG=RELENG_6 KERNELS_BASE="OILSPACE1 \ GENERIC" KERNELS_BASE was not intended to be overridden as sysinstall has builtin knowledge about "GENERIC" and "SMP". KERNELS is documented as a knob to set to add additional kernel configurations to an iso. My local patches -- only new unionfs currently. install.cfg I put in /usr/src/release directory. Can anybody help me with auto-select timezone, right way for installing kernel and place in source tree for PXE loader.conf? I don't know about the timezone setting. Hopefully the above helps with setting up a custom kernel. FWIW I used qemu to test the release+sysinstall changes (in case you aren't aware of it).

I can't find how to select timezone non-interactive. You can find your timezone file in /usr/share/zoneinfo directory and copy it to /etc/localtime file.
