--- Comment #8 from Michael Dexter <editor@callfortesting.org> ---
This PR raises the broader issue that while bsdinstall/bsdconfig represent the
canonical FreeBSD installation systems, providing the necessary housekeeping in
the process, bsdinstall is only intended for fresh installations and falls down
for mounted boot environment, Jail, and Virtual Machine storage. The "jail"
target is incompatible with the "auto" scripted target, making it unsuitable
for production environments. The Jail target also rightfully ignores the
kernel, making it unsuitable for use with creating boot environments.

To its credit, "bsdinstall jail" has been updated to support packaged base.

It would be very, very helpful for bsdinstall/bsdconfig to support boot
environment, local disk, VM disk image, PXE NFS/p9fs, etc. targets.
