Could anyone recommend a good guide for developing one's own mfsroot images suitable for recovery or scripted installation (not using sysinstall)? It appears that one could develop a simplified network-based installation process based around fdisk, disklabel, newfs, mount_ufs, fetch, and pax, perhaps tied together with the usual scripting tools (maybe miniperl or sh/sed/awk).
(sysinstall requires too specific a configuration for my needs, which are focused on en masse - and zero touch - workstation and server deployment.) Best wishes, Matthew -- "Rogues are very keen in their profession, and know already much more than we can teach them respecting their several kinds of roguery." - A. C.
