There's a plan to replace sysinstall with pc-sysinstall, the PCBSD installer in 9.0. Currently the backend has been committed and people are working on a web interface frontend to allow people to do installations via a web browser. Meanwhile I'm hoping to find some time to improve sysinstall now that we don't support installation from floppies: I know there are some big improvements that can be made while not taking on the work of a complete rewrite. -- Bruce Cran
