When I build my new mail servers a few weeks ago, I built one up and
tested it. When it worked the way I wanted I just logged into the other
machines, partitioned and formatted the drives like I wanted. Then I
used dump over ssh to move the working server into the next server, and
the next, and so on. I was installing on FreeBSD 5.2.1 boxes.

Fast, simple, secure, and free.
