Start teaching pc-sysinstall about IPv6.
Add some additional empty string checks for IPv4 and try to configure a netmask along with the address rather than doing things twice.
Contrary to AUTO-DHCP, IPv6-SLAAC will accept static configuration as well, which we will use at least for resolv.conf currently and if we were given a static address configure that as an alias as well.
The pc-sysinstaller changes going along were committed to PC-BSD as r10773.

Bring in Kris Moore's pc-sysinstall shell script from PC-BSD. This shell script is the back end logic necessary for an installer. It contains both query routines to allow a front-end installer to present reasonable choices to the user and also action routines which allow the front end installer to put a FreeBSD distribution onto a disk. It supports installing onto the usual suspects, as well as advanced features like Mirroring, ZFS, Encryprion and GPT labels.
While this is only the back-end of the installer, it can do unattended scripted installations. In PC-BSD's world view, all installations are scripted and all the front-end does is write the script. As such, it is useful in its own right.
This has been extensively tested over the past several releases of PC-BSD. However, differences between that environment and FreeBSD suggest there will be a period of shake-out while those differences are discovered and corrected.
A text-based front-end is in the works. For the GUI-based front-end, you can use the PC-BSD distribution.
Kris' BSDcan paper on pc-sysinstall is linked off his talk on the BSDcan site: http://www.bsdcan.org/2010/schedule/events/173.en.html
The man page is written by Josh Paetzel, and I wrote the Makefiles for the FreeBSD integration. Kris wrote the rest.
This represents version r7010 in the PC-BSD repo. http://svn.pcbsd.org/pcbsd/current/pc-sysinstall
