I've started working on making sysinstall grok geom, but getting it to the stage of understanding ZFS is a long way away, and will need new partitioning code based around gpart. I believe the plan for 9.0 is to have pc-sysinstall from the PC-BSD project be available as one of the installers; the backend has already been committed and there's work going on to add an ncurses frontend. -- Bruce Cran
