It will do advanced setups very easily, most of which are not possible with sysinstall (geom stuff, zfs etc). It will install standard freebsd, from a variety of formats. With a little tinkering you should be able to detach the installer program from the standard pcbsd image and use your own custom live os on a usb stick. You would then have a lot of power.
