+pc-sysinstall README
+
+This file documents many of the variables used in pc-sysinstall
+config scripts
+#################################################################
+
+# hostname=
+
+Using hostname= will set the specified hostname on the
+installed system
+
+When hostname= is not present, pc-sysinstall will auto-generate
+a hostname such as freebsd-XXXX or pcbsd-XXXX
+
+# installMode=(fresh or upgrade)
+
+Set the type of install we are doing, fresh or upgrade.
+
+Fresh installs will format and mount the target disks before
+extracting the install images to the system. Using this mode
+it is also possible to do a system restore, by specifying a
+full system backup as the install source.
+
+Upgrades will mount the target disk, and extract the system
+archive to the disk, overwriting files on the disk.
+The conf/exclude-from-upgrade file can be used to specify
+additional files to exclude from overwriting during the
+install process.
+
+# installInteractive=(yes or no)
+
+Set if the installer is running in interactive mode, and
+is able to prompt for input from the user, defaults to no
+
+
+########################################################################
+# NETWORK SETTINGS
+########################################################################
+
+# netDev=(AUTO-DHCP or <nic>)
+
+netDev specifies what type of networking to enable for the installer
+Can be set to AUTO-DHCP or to a network interface, such as et0
+
+When set to AUTO-DHCP, pc-sysinstall will probe for all network devices
+and attempt to set DHCP mode on each, until a working network connection
+is established
+
+If netDev= is set to a network interface such as et0, the following options
+will need to be set in order to enable the interface
+
+# netIP=(IP address such as 192.168.0.100)
+
+ Set netIP to an address that you wish to have the interface specified in
+ netDev set to
+ Only used when netDev is not set to AUTO-DHCP
+
+# netMask=(Netmask such as 255.255.255.0)
+
+Set netMask to the address you with to have the interface specified in
+netDev set to
+Only used when netDev is not set to AUTO-DHCP
+
+
+# netNameServer=(DNS Server such as 192.168.0.1)
+
+Set netNameServer to the DNS address you want to use during the install
+Only used when netDev is not set to AUTO-DHCP
+
+
+# netDefaultRouter=(192.168.0.1)
+
+Set netDefaultRouter to the gateway you wish to have the installer use
+Only used when netDev is not set to AUTO-DHCP
+
+
+
+# netSaveDev=(AUTO-DHCP or network interface)
+
+netSaveDev specifies what networking to enable on the installed system
+
+When set to AUTO-DHCP, pc-sysinstall will probe all network interfaces, and
+set them all to DHCP in the systems /etc/rc.conf file. Wireless devices will also
+have the corresponding wlan[0-9] device created.
+
+When set to a network interface, pc-sysinstall will set the target device with
+the settings specified by the variables below.
+
+# netSaveIP=192.168.0.49
+# netSaveMask=255.255.255.0
+# netSaveNameServer=208.67.222.222
+# netSaveDefaultRouter=192.168.0.1
+
+
+
+
+########################################################################
+# DISK SLICE SETTINGS
+########################################################################
+
+The following section specifies the target disk(s) to be used in the
+install or upgrade.
+
+# disk0=(disk device, such as ad0)
+
+The diskX= variable should be set to the target device for this drive, such
+as ad0, da0
+The first should begin with disk0=, and additional drives to disk1=, disk2
+if additional disks are to be setup.
+
+When doing an upgrade, the disk0= line should be set to the root device or
+root zpool of the target system to update. I.E:
+ # disk0=tank0
+ # disk0=ada0s1a
+
+
+# partition=(all, free, s1, s1, s3, s4)
+
+After setting disk[0-9], the partition= variable is used to specify which target
+partition we will be working with for this device.
+
+Setting this to "all" will setup the disk with a single FreeBSD slice as "s1"
+
+Setting this to "free" will allow pc-sysinstall to search for the first available
+primary slice with free space, and create the slice.
+
+Setting this to "s1, s2, s3 or s4" will use the specified MBR slice
+
+(This tag is unused for upgrades)
+
+
+# mirror=(disk device such as ad1)
+
+Setting the mirror= variable will setup the target device as a gmirror
+of the diskX= device. The mirror device must be the same size or larger
+than the drive being mirrored.
+
+
+# mirrorbal=(load, prefer, round-robin, split)
+
+Allows the setting of the mirror balance method to be used, if not
+specified this defaults to "round-robin"
+
+# bootManager=(none, bsd)
+
+Setting this option will instruct pc-sysinstall to install the BSD boot Manager,
+or leave it empty
+
+# commitDiskPart
+
+This command must be placed at the end of the diskX= section, before starting
+the listing of any additional diskX= directives.
+
+
+########################################################################
+# DISK PARTITION / MOUNT SETTINGS
+########################################################################
+
+The following settings specify the partitioning / mount points to setup
+on the target partition
+
+# disk0-part=UFS+S 500 /
+# disk0-part=SWAP 2000 none
+# disk0-part=UFS.eli 500 /usr
+# encpass=mypass
+# disk0-part=UFS+J 500 /tmp
+# disk0-part=ZFS 0 /data,/storage (mirror: ad1)
+# commitDiskLabel
+
+The above values instructs pc-sysinstall which partitions / mounts
+to create on the target drive / slice, specified by "disk0".
+(disk0 will resolve to the drive / slice specified in the previous section)
+
+The notation is as follows:
+<File System Type> <Size> <Mountpoint>
+
+Available FileSystems:
+ UFS - Standard UFS2 FileSystem
+UFS+S - UFS2 + Softupdates enabled
+UFS+J - UFS2 + Journaling through gjournal
+ ZFS - Z File System, pools / mounts created automatically
+ SWAP - BSD Swap space partition, mountpoint should be set to "none"
+
+Adding the ".eli" extension to any of the above file systems
+will enable disk encryption via geli
+(UFS.eli, UFS+S.eli, UFS+J.eli, ZFS.eli, SWAP.eli)
+
+If you with to use a passphrase with this encrypted partition, on the next line
+the flag "encpass=" should be entered:
+encpass=mypass
+
+All sizes are expressed in MegaBytes
+Specifying a size 0 instructs pc-sysinstall to use the rest of the
+available slice size, and should only be used for the last partition / mount
+
+When using "ZFS" specifically, it is possible to specify additional disks / partitions
+to include in the zpool. By using the syntax: (mirror: ad1,ad2) or (raidz: ad1,ad2), it is possible
+to include the disk "ad1" into the zpool for this partition, using the raidz / mirror methods.
+If you with to just include the disk into the pool in "basic" mode, then use (ad1,ad2) with no flags
+
