hmmm...  I googled this list and found the following link (which 
may wrap in email):

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-January/031620.html

I'm thinking perhaps this function through sysinstall isn't 
completely implemented yet.... or....  I've just noticed there's 
no mention of a shell (hmmmm)...

Maybe something like:

# /stand/sysinstall command="sh passwd root" system 

Even though it doesn't seem to work from the command line, I 
wonder if the problem isn't something along these lines?  Perhaps 
putting these commands into a script and then having install.cfg 
run the script instead would clear it up.

(I'm shooting in the dark here, I know...  But now I'm curious...)
