AIUI this is an installer thing which runs from a ramdisk and hence has
no static host key, is that right?

I take it is has no preseeding like mechanisms then?


Would an alternative to plumbing this option all the way down be to
invoke ssh-keyscan after booting this mfsBSD to populate the
known_hosts?

A more Perl-ish approach would be:
        $host = "/dev/null" if defined $disable_hosts;
(and I think the defined is optional there too).

Or perhaps $host = $disable_hosts ? "/dev/null" : "tmp/....";
