>What about bsdinstaller? (http://bsdinstaller.org)

It's very simple, for that to happen, somebody has to sit down and
make it work so people can test it out.

That means taking a copy of src/release/* and beating up on it
until it produces an installmedia which installs using bsdinstaller.

By all means go for it!
