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

sysinstall code has rotten over the years, it's not what I'd call
easily maintainable code, IMVHO adopting bsdinstaller would be a good
move because it would avoid duplicating work, that is if people can get
past the NIH syndrome and certain committers' aversion to everything
that comes from the DF camp. NetBSD's sysinst + sushi is a good
candidate too.
