ZFS is probably quite a ways down the road unless someone else steps up to help out. That said, sysinstall is the beast that no one else wants to touch, so don't expect this anytime soon. I'm hoping to have this done (or at least mostly done) by 9. FWIW, I'll kick and scream before sysinstall defaults to zfs. I'm currently planning on making zfs/gpt/etc only available from expert mode. -- randi
