Mass producing installs?

[Rob]

And if this seems a little ambitious (DHCP, TFTP, PXE, NFS etc), you can
just copy the install.cfg file to a floppy, boot from the install
CD-ROM, and select 'Load config file' from the main menu. It's not
completely automated, but it certainly is simple.

See sysinstall(8) for more info.
