Is there any work going on to make sysinstall recognize and abe able
to create and work with GJOURNAL and ZFS? In the days of 1,5-2,0
terabyte harddrives, UFS2 + SoftUpdates simply doesn't cut it anymore,
UFS2+SoftUpdates works fine on properly configured UFS2 - and very fast.
Why you need sysinstall AT ALL?
use any CD/DVD distro like FreeSBIE, or even better - the one that
loads itself to RAM and no longer needs HDD, or even FreeBSD already
installed on Pendrive.
Boot it, then partition/newfs your disk(s) whatever you like, mount
target, then use
install.sh scripts from FreeBSD install CD to install system
this way
DESTDIR=/target ./install.sh
in every directory
then install bootblock and edit fstab, your system will boot.
Sysinstall is to help beginners, but do beginners need so complex setups?
