>Description:

I would suggest to enhance the FreeBSD syinstall program with
little but useful changes:

1) Add a menue to configure name resolving:

Currently we only ask for *one* DNS Server in the network card
installation dialogue. I'd suggest to ask for the *three* possible
DNS server. I always have to change /etc/resolv.conf manually after
a FreeBSD installation. I think this would be a simple change.

Additionally we could perhaps think about making DNS configuration
to a separate menue. We could ask the user for:

	domain name		[ dom.ain.from.tcp_ip_setup ]

	1. DNS Server		[ first.dns.server	]
	2. DNS Server		[ second.dns.server	]
	3. DNS Server		[ third.dns.server	]

	Order of name resolving clickable:

	[ ]	bind hosts (recommended)
	[ ]	hosts bind

2) Add a menue to enable and configure the automounter.
   This could be an additional submenue, that would be presented
   - in the custom installation 
   - in all other installations types if user decides, to setup
     the machine as a NFS client.

   From the Network or perhaps the new DNS setup menue we already
   know the domainname of the machine and could simply configure:

   amd_enable="YES"	# Run amd service with $amd_flags (or NO).
   amd_flags="-a /net -c 1800 -k i386 -d my.domain -l syslog /host /etc/amd.map"
					 ^^^^^^^^^ the real domain !

I think this wouldn't be hard to implement and should go into
the next -STABLE and -current release.

 If DHCP is used, all DNS servers offered will be used. I don't really =
 think we need an entirely separate menu for DNS. One option might be to =
 allow comma delimited DNS servers in the current form.
 
 I really think offering automounter is overkill.=20=
