Personally Vermaden, I think I would call sysinstall a more the modern installation method. Unless you want to look at the 'Installing and Operating 4.4BSD UNIX' docs from the old System Managers Manual, and wonder what moron ever started to write sysinstall; no offence intended fwiw.
This thread reminds me of when one of my friends upgraded to FreeBSD 8 as a fresh install: he was annoyed to see how much work it was to set up a pure ZFS based system was compared to UFS, and sited ZFS as not "Production ready" on FreeBSD because of sysinstall. Then I reminded him that it's as production ready as FAT --> sysinstall uses the recommended defaults, if you don't like it, then it's YOUR problem to sort out the details, just like the rest of a real unix system.
