"But the installer is incapable of adding the route back in for the gateway in
this scenario. As the gateway IP address is in another subnet, you first need a
route to reach the gateway IP address before you are able to use that IP
address as the default gateway."

We probably should do this, but for now, you'd just say 'no' when asked to
configure the network and let it keep using your existing configuration.

I would first like to focus on how/why your resolv.conf was getting clobbered.

It looks like both 'auto' and 'script' entirely remove /tmp/bsdinstall_tmp when
they start, and since /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink to
/tmp/bsdinstall_tmp/resolv.conf on the boot media, this is where things are
going wrong.

I suppose it could backup resolv.conf if it exists first, then restore it.
