Interestingly in my experience its been the opposite, I've lost a few
ext3 filesystems though bad power, same for NTFS (NT4, less so with
200x) but as yet never for ufs2 (fsck has always fixed it.)

That said, there have been a few projects to update/replace/whatever
sysinstall, look at the desktopBSD installer (bsdinstaller) and
finstall. I'm not sure what the status of either of these 2 are though.
