Quote : "The caveat is how pxelinux reacts when filename is set to
auto_install, as stated in autoinstall(8). pxelinux would use the

beginning part as prefix for every path is is supposed to be loaded."
Awesome! Thanks for that tip! I had set up an auto-installer about
a month ago to do Linux and BSD installs and hit upon this fairly
major stumbling block. I ended up doing things a bit differently that
requires some manual steps but this should let me get it back going
the way I want.
There were some other issues I'd found with the OpenBSD auto install -
I should summarize them to the list. Room for improvement. As a
first release of an auto installer it is pretty good though.
One nice addition would be if there is no answer in the automated
answer file, then prompt for that question. I was surprised to find
out that OpenBSD requires you to have all questions answered or else
it bombs out. I'll check my notes to see whether there was anything
else.
