First, I don't think you get SU+J (soft-updates and full FS journal), which= is a bad combination. I think you get SUJ (journal of metadata) which is a very different and is, I believe the preferred default setup. Second, I frequently want custom newfs options, most notably -b, -f, and -i. There was no way to do this with sysinstall and is still no way to do this with bsdinstall. I suggest an option to specify additional newfs options. The test should note that this is for knowledgeable users and that defaults should be used if you don't understan= d the significance of any options. It should also provide the options that will be passed to newfs if nothing is done. (I'd like to see this in any case, just to avoid confusion on SU+J vs. SUJ.) Of course, all of these are issues that exist with the old installer, but I think can be improved with the move to bsdinstall. --=20 R.
