The services are the base names of RCNG scripts # (i.e. without the "/etc/rc.d/" prefix.) Note that these must be # given explicitly in the same order they would normally be started # by rcorder during RCNG (e.g. "netif dhclient sshd"); they are not # automatically ordered by their dependencies here. pfi_rc_actions="" # Determines which installer frontend to use. Defaults to "curses"; # other legal options are "xorg", "cgi", and "none". # # "auto" will select curses or xorg based on the existence of DISPLAY pfi_frontend="auto" # Determines which installer backend to use. Typically this is # "/usr/sbin/dfuibe_installer", the traditional C backend, # but can be changed to start an alternate backend. pfi_backend="/usr/sbin/dfuibe_installer" # When using the curses frontend: # Set the amount of time, in milliseconds, which must pass after # the 'ESC' key is pressed, in order for it to be recognized # as a plain 'ESC' keystroke, and not part of an escape code. pfi_curses_escdelay="150" # A password to set as the root password on the LiveCD, if any. pfi_set_root_password="" # Control corresponding sshd options. To make sure sshd restarts with # these options, add "sshd" to pfi_rc_actions. pfi_sshd_permit_root_login="NO" pfi_sshd_permit_empty_passwords="NO" # An script to run before the installer. It is assumed this script is # located on the pfi media. While it is run, the media's root directory # is mounted on /mnt. pfi_script="" # A program to run before the installer. It is assumed to reside on # the LiveCD; /mnt is not mounted. pfi_run="" # What transport layer the DFUI in the installer should use. Valid # values are currently "npipe" and "tcp". pfi_dfui_transport="tcp" # User to automatically log in as, or "NONE". pfi_autologin="NONE" # Command to use to reboot.

Copy this text file to the file "/pfi.conf" # on a floppy disk or USB pen drive (hereinafter referred to as "the pfi # media") and have that media inserted or attached to the computer while # you boot from the installer CD-ROM. The installer will attempt to # locate this file and, if found, will use the variables present within it # to configure the installer boot process. # This file has the same syntax as /etc/rc.conf, and it can contain any # setting which is meaningful in /etc/rc.conf as well. Any rc.conf # setting which is given will only be obeyed, however, if the RCNG script # to which that setting applies is named in pfi_rc_actions. # EXAMPLE 1: # Boot the installer headless, configure the network interface dc0, # and start the CGI frontend. # # ifconfig_dc0="DHCP" # pfi_rc_actions="netif dhclient" # pfi_frontend="cgi" # pfi_autologin="installer" # pfi_shutdown_command="shutdown -r now" # EXAMPLE 2: # Boot the installer headless, configure the network interface rl0, # and allow ssh'ing into the box as root with the password "sekrit". # # ifconfig_rl0="DHCP" # pfi_sshd_permit_root_login="YES" # pfi_set_root_password="sekrit" # pfi_rc_actions="netif dhclient sshd" # pfi_frontend="none" # pfi_autologin="installer" # pfi_shutdown_command="shutdown -r now" # EXAMPLE 3: # Boot the cd and setup a PXE/TFTP/DCHPD server environment # so that clients can boot from the network and enter the installer # # Enable tftp and NFS services with pxeboot and a kernel available via # tftp and the CD's root mount available via NFS. # # pfi_boot_tftp_server="YES" # pfi_boot_nfs_server="YES" # pfi_boot_pxeserver="YES" # pfi_boot_ipserver="YES" # pfi_option_subnet-mask="255.255.255.0" # pfi_option_routers="10.0.250.1" # pfi_filename="pxeboot" # pfi_ddns-update-style="none" # pfi_option_domain-name="domain.com" # pfi_option_broadcast-address="10.0.250.255" # pfi_option_domain-name-servers="192.168.64.3" # pfi_server-name="DHCPServer" # pfi_server-identifier="10.0.250.50" # pfi_default-lease-time="7200" # pfi_max-lease-time="7200" # pfi_subnet="10.0.250.0 netmask 255.255.255.0" # pfi_next-server="10.0.250.50" # pfi_range="10.0.250.29 10.0.250.250" # EXAMPLE 4: # Use a custom backend. # # pfi_backend="/usr/local/sbin/my_custom_backend"
