Update/download the source tree.
Apply the ZFSv28 patch to the source tree.
Go through a buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel, installworld cycle.
Test that you have ZFSv28.

Then you can create a custom kernel configuration file, and do a
buildkernel/installkernel cycle to install the new kernel.

Don't use sysinstall once the system is installed.  Use the tools that
come with the OS (csup, svn, portsnap, freebsd-update, etc).  Trying
to use sysinstall after the syste is installed will cause you no end
of grief.  It's not a system management tool.  Don't try to use it
like one.  :)

See above.
