Automating FreeBSD Installations
PXE Booting and install.cfg Demystified
This paper will provide an explanation of the tools involved in performing an automated FreeBSD install and a live demonstration of the process.
FreeBSD's sysinstall provides a powerful and flexible mechanism for automated installs but doesn't get used very often because of a lack of documentation.
Topics covered include:
- Installation and configuration of isc-dhcpd
- Setting up a TFTP server
- Creating a PXE boot installation source
- Configuration of installation options with install.cfg
