Has anyone ever seen these tools? I assume they're open source if
they're going in to FreeBSD, if so it would be nice to see them.

I wrote the original sysinstall and came up with the whole single
process install concept (the current sysinstall is entirely Jordan's,
there's not a single line of my code left) so the installer is something
I have an interest in and if there's actualy code somewhere it'd be nice
to be able to take a look at it and maybe help push things along a bit.

Paul.
