Hello list,
I created an autoinstall bsd.rd (containing auto_install.conf and
disklabel.conf) and a siteXX.tgz.
For example with the tool isomaster I can manually edit the
install66.iso and add bsd.rd and site66.tgz to the directory 6.6/amd64.
This modified ISO can be booted from real and virtual hardware. The
unattended installation works and is really cool!
Now I want to go the extra step and automate the modification of the
installXX.iso.
I tried the tool xorriso:
$ ls -l 6.6/amd64/
total 28544
-rwxr-xr-x 1 null null 10299545 Nov 17 18:00 bsd.rd
-rw-r--r-- 1 null null 4680444 Nov 17 05:03 site66.tgz
$ xorriso -indev install66.iso -outdev install66a.iso -boot_image "any"
"keep" -add 6.6/amd64/
[1]
This leads to this message when trying to boot:
CD-ROM: E0
Can't find /cdboot
I then moved cdboot from 6.6/amd64 to the root of the CD:
$ xorriso -indev install66.iso -outdev install66a.iso -boot_image "any"
"keep" -move 6.6/amd64/cdboot cdboot -add 6.6/amd64/
This leads to this message when trying to boot:
CD-ROM: E0
Loading /CDBOOT
probing: pc0 mem[639KB 2046M a20=on]
disk: hd0+ cd0

file or dir
ectory
failed(2). will try /6.6/amd64/bsd.rd
boot>
When I move bsd.rd to the root of the CD too, I can at least start the
installation by typing
boot> bsd.rd
But it would be nice if that wouldn't be necessary.
When looking at the ISO files with isomatser, the only difference I can
find is that
on the modified ISO the publisher information is in all caps.
I'm obviously doing something wrong. Any ideas or alternatives?

In case the full output is necessary:
$ xorriso -indev install66.iso -outdev install66a.iso -boot_image "any"
