The original idea of this was to allow ... Welcome to the OpenBSD/amd64 6.0 installation program. (I)nstall, (U)pgrade, (A)utoinstall or (S)hell? s # cat <<_EOF >/auto_install.conf > system hostname = hostA > password for root = whateversecurepassword > http server = ftp.hostserver.de > _EOF # exit erase ^?, werase ^W, kill ^U, intr ^C, status ^T Welcome to the OpenBSD/amd64 6.0 installation program. (I)nstall, (U)pgrade, (A)utoinstall or (S)hell? a If the system had internet access during installation, it's even enough to create an empty /auto_upgrade.conf, because the last used mirror will be used automatically.
