It can do, but you're left with a /very/ basic installation - the 
hostname, network interfaces etc. aren't configured, which could be a 
problem for some people.

If I thought there would be any support for it, I'd try and find time to 
plug in the sade(4) rewrite into sysinstall - it has a rather nice UI 
and supports ZFS.
