Description Michael Leun 2009-08-17 07:10:05 UTC 
I've created customized install disks doing an unattended installation of the current (current when creating the disk) patchlevel of FreeBSD.
At the end of the installation a customized package which brings some configuration files, changes some config and creates /etc/rc.conf from scratch is installed.
But with unmodified sysinstall all changes made in the post install script of the custom package get clobbered / commented out.

My search for a solution lead to http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-December/107861.html

This patch adds an option "shutdownNoRC" to shutdown without touching /etc/rc.conf (and also "poweroff" to just power off and "poweroffNoRC" to power off without touching rc.conf) at the end of the installation.

Note: This fixes bin/69942.

Fix: Patch attached
Adds alternate commands to quit installation, offering the possibility not to change / create /etc/rc.conf by sysinstall.

Patch attached with submission follows:
How-To-Repeat: Create an custom install media which installs a package modifying /etc/rc.conf

sysinstall has been replaced by bsdinstall in FreeBSD 9.x. Closing.
