In 2011, bsdinstall(8) [1] was merged into HEAD as a replacement for sysinstall(8) [2] and allowed, among others, easy setup of ZFS on Root. It was a CLI-based process with sysinstall.
Granted, both installers look fairly similar and the change may not have been that visible to someone installing FreeBSD once every few years.

What I learned about installing, setting up and using a FreeBSD all those years ago when I first installed it has remained largely applicable over all these years.
