NAME
       installman - manage system installation

SYNOPSIS
       installman

DESCRIPTION
       The installman command manages system installation by presenting a
       series of steps which may be necessary for completing system
       installation.  The steps include setting up packages and building and
       rebooting a custom kernel.  Before each step, you are asked whether
       or not you would like to perform the step; if you answer yes, you are
       presented with queries for performing the step.  The queries are the
       same as those presented by sysadm(1M).

       This command is automatically run when the system is booted to run
       level i (installation mode).  The steps are described below.

   Setting up packages
       Some software packages require certain setup functions to be
       performed before the software is operational.  This step allows you
       to perform those setup functions for packages that have already been
       loaded on the system.

       This step is equivalent to sysadm's Software -> Package -> Set up
       operation.

   Building a custom kernel
       This step allows you to build a custom kernel for the system.  A
       custom kernel lists the hardware devices attached to the system and
       lists pseudo-devices necessary for proper system operation.

       This is equivalent to sysadm's System -> Kernel -> Auto Configure
       operation.  You may tune kernel parameters later using sysadm's
       System -> Kernel -> Build operation.

   Rebooting the system
       This step allows you to reboot the system to use the custom kernel
       created in the previous step.  If you do not perform this step, the
       system will continue to use the currently-running kernel until you
       reboot the system.

       This operation is equivalent to sysadm's System -> Kernel -> Reboot
       operation.
