Mike Makonnen has some very interesting ideas on this topic:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2007-December/081400.html

FWIW, I think that there are 3 basic requirements for a new installer:

1. It should be library-based and therefore be capable of supporting 
at least a few different UIs (see above).
2. At least one of those UIs should be functional over a standard 
serial console.
3. It should be scriptable.

hth,

Doug
