Sysinstall seems like the logical place for it. It's much easier to push "F1" than to go searching through the FAQ for it. Also, remember that some people don't have more than one computer, and thus can't access the web-based documentation while they're in sysinstall; they've probably printed the installation instructions from the handbook, but how many people print the entire FAQ (it's over 10000 lines in SGML; I imagine it's at least half of that rendered) before they proceed to install FreeBSD? That said, an FAQ entry still can't hurt. I don't know if it should use the same text as the sysinstall help (if that goes in). Mike, do you want to do it, or should I (if you do, at least look at the PR for ideas of what to put there).
