bsdinstall unattended disk partitioning

[emulder]

Hi all,

I'm having an issue with applying my desired disk partitioning scheme in an unattended bsdinstall, FreeBSD 10.1 (32GB root disk, da0). After reading the bsdinstall man page and related threads on web, I'm still unsure how to apply the scriptedpart target as I have listed below.
I'm calling bsdinstall script /etc/installerconfig from rc.local. My relevant etc/rc.local and etc/installconfig are below.

# bsdinstall scriptedpart da0 { 8G freebsd-ufs /, 8G freebsd-swap, 8G freebsd-ufs /var, auto freebsd-ufs /usr }

I tried adding this line to rc.local before calling bsdinstall script /etc/installerconfig, which will indeed partition the disk properly, however the installer then repartitions my disk to it's liking before installing the system.
I also tried to integrate the bsdinstall scriptedpart da0 into /etc/installerconfig but could not find proper way to do so. I am able to complete a successful installation with the configuration I listed, but not with the partitioning scheme I desire. thanks in advance for any help in how to do so,
Eric

/etc/rc.local:

#!/bin/sh
export DISTRIBUTIONS="kernel.txz base.txz"
bsdinstall script /etc/installerconfig

/etc/installerconfig:

PARTITIONS="da0"
DISTRIBUTIONS="kernel.txz base.txz"

#!/bin/sh

echo "Installation complete, running in host system"
echo "autoboot_delay=\"5\"" >> /boot/loader.conf

echo "==> Setting up rc.conf"
cat > /etc/rc.conf << RC_CONF
sshd_enable="YES"
ntpd_enable="YES"
ntpd_sync_on_start="YES"

RC_CONF

echo "Setup done."
poweroff

I've never done it before, but I was curious enough to look into it.
So I'm not 100% certain on what follows:

Regarding rc.local I see no need to mess with that when sitting at a console and having to plug-in an USB stick manually ( /dev/da0).

When /etc/installerconfig is running, it just does what was put in:

PARTITIONS="da0"

Now that's what you are complaining about.

If I had a USB-stick here I could have tried before, but you you can try this yourself:

PARTITIONS="da0 { 8G freebsd-ufs /, 8G freebsd-swap, 8G freebsd-ufs /var, auto freebsd-ufs /usr }"

Yes, this syntax in installerconfig indeed gives the intended results.

PARTITIONS="da0 { 8G freebsd-ufs /, 8G freebsd-swap, 8G freebsd-ufs /var, auto freebsd-ufs /usr }"

Thanks getopt.
