Libosinfo reports use of cdrom, disk, floppy or initrd injection for
providing the installer automation file. Distros support one of more
of these methods, but there's no single one that works everywhere
afaik.
FWIW, virt-install recently got ability to auto-install images using
the libosinfo installer files. We don't have coverage for any BSD's
though in libosinfo at this time though.
