Hello misc@,
Hi Joshua,
Looking around the man pages for 5.6 and -current it doesn't seem like
it, but is it possible to perform an autoinstall/autoupgrade with out
utilizing pxe and an http server.
I would like to put the autoinstall/autoupgrade file on a usbkey or
embed it on a custom cd.
Well, probably not the way you have in mind (i.e. full autoinstall) as
you still have to point the installer to the {install,upgrade}.conf
manually: i.e. choose (A) for autoinstall, it'll then fail, escape to
shell, mount the disk with your config file, go back to the installer
and point it to the file - the rest of the installation/upgrade is then
fully automatic.
I use a 3-line (that includes a keyboard layout) 'upgrade.conf' to
upgrade to new snapshots.

there is a better way using rdsetroot to actually put the *.conf files in the
bsd.rd kernel itself. it was discussed previously here:

Thanks!
This is exactly what I am looking for.
IMHO being able to provide autoupgrade in / of the existing system would be a
great addition.
