| Log message:
| Unattended installation using DHCP and a response file
| 
| For a completely unattended installation bsd.rd has to be netbooted,
| a DHCP server must be running and provide "next-server", which will
| be
| used to fetch "http://<next-server>/install.conf".  The format of the
| response file is a list of "<key> = <value>" pairs where <key> is a
| substring of the interactive question (case-insensitive) and <value>
| is
| what would be entered interactively.
| 
| Minimal response file example:
| 
| system hostname = openbsd
| password for root account = <...>
| network interfaces = re0
| IPv4 address for re0 = dhcp
| server? = <...>
| 
| This is a starting point, it still a bit rough.
| 
| ok krw@, many improvements by halex@

WOOHOO!  Am I to assume that password for root account is in encrypted format?
