Right now, when installing a new system it's easiest to reboot to single user mode after the install and tunefs -j disable 'the filesystems' to disable journaling of soft updates. If you want to accomplish this during the install, choose shell at the disk partitioning part and add slices and/or partitions with gpart and then newfs them with the appropriate options, then mount them on /mnt and the appropriate places beneath and continue the install by quitting the shell. There are some nice entries on http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS Just substitute the ZFS stuff with the easier gpart and then newfs -U etc... then make sure the filesystems are mounted under /mnt and continue the installation. I hope that I will not confuse you too much with the proposed solution i.e. use these resources as a guideline. Else see reboot to single user mode after install above and tunefs
