It's one way to go, although it's not as good as Solaris' JumpStart
(although that has faults of it's own...). For a quick example look in
/usr/src/release/sysinstall/install.cfg. There's a manual page in the
same directory describing how it works (roughly). As far as I can tell
from the documentation (I've never actually needed to do an automated
FreeBSD install yet), you boot the usual kern & mfsroot floppies, then
select "load config file", at which point you insert the floppy with
install.cfg on it.
You'll probably need a bit of time to get it working, but it's a start.
