Installer: NTP server from DHCP

2009-06-08 Thread Thomas Pfaff 
In the installer, when configuring an interface using DHCP and then later
when you're asked to specify an NTP server, would it be possible to use
the server specified by the DHCP server (option ntp-servers ip-address)?

Since people were asking for things to do, this might be a nice little
project for someone with time who's interested in it.

Starting points: /usr/src/distrib/miniroot/install.sub, and release(8).
