Hi Adam,

Automated installations have existed on FreeBSD for a long time. You can do
this either via netboot or CD based media. Also rolling your own FreeBSD
media with custom changes is trivial compared the linux distro's I'm familar
with. I haven't used kickstart but I will say the FreeBSD method is easier
to work with than the Debian FIA method. Plus there are many post-install
configuration utilites like puppet to further automate stuff.
I actually like the principle of FAI configspace that much, that a
colleague of mine and myself ported the underlying FAI to OpenBSD.
I tend to say, that configuring a server with FAI is way easier than
with puppet.
I'd love to pxeboot a minimal freebsd with a ramdisk and a base set of
utilities to use FAI there too, however, my last attempts of doing that
with FreeBSD failed.
But your opinion may vary, of course :)
This page is pretty well out of date, but the concepts remain the same. You
can look at the work MFSBSD has done if you interested and there are more up
to date howto floating around the www.
humm... what is MFSBSD?
Cheers,
Marian
