The new bsdinstall has a different layout so the previous guides don't
work. I have prepared one that works for recent 9-Current at :

"http://www.aisecure.net/?p=132";

Thanks, that's about what I expected the install procedure to be at this
point.  Nice to have the reminder about the zpool.cache.   (Do I have to
use the Live CD mode?  Can I use shell mode instead?)

--As for the rest, it is mine.

Ok, I've tried shell mode and live CD mode. I've re-partitioned my disks several different ways.

Nothing gets me a system that will actually boot. Or even recognize that there is an OS loaded anywhere. Help?

(My preferred partitioning:

ada1:
   1 freebsd-boot
   2 freebsd-swap  8G
   3 freebsd-zfs   4G (zil)
   4 freebsd-zfs   17G (cache)

ada0: Managed by ZFS, ~250G  Main filesystem.

This takes advantage of the mSATA SSD in ada1.)
