What about bsdinstaller? (http://bsdinstaller.org) sysinstall code has rotten over the years, it's not what I'd call easily maintainable code, IMVHO adopting bsdinstaller would be a good move because it would avoid duplicating work, that is if people can get past the NIH syndrome and certain committers' aversion to everything that comes from the DF camp. NetBSD's sysinst + sushi is a good candidate too.
