<p>BSDInstall has been the default installation program since
&os;&nbsp;<tt>9.0-RELEASE</tt>. However, it could not utilize
one of the best features of &os;, ZFS.</p>
<p>The ZFSBoot project started at EuroBSDCon&nbsp;2013 and reached
stable status in December, just in time for
&os;&nbsp;<tt>10.0-RELEASE</tt>. Currently, ZFSBoot implements
root-on-ZFS with 4k partition alignment, optional forced 4k
sectors, optional <tt>geli(8)</tt> full disk encryption, and
support for boot environments.</p>
<p>As part of ZFSBoot, BSDInstall itself also received a number of
updates, including enhanced debugging, more scriptability, a new
keymap selection menu, and a number of other small changes to
streamline the installation process. The new keymap menu allows
the user to test the selected keymap before continuing, to
ensure it is the desired keymap. Minor changes were made to the
network configuration dialogues to make the identification of
wireless interfaces easier.</p>
<p>A number of additional features are also planned. Allow the
user to create additional datasets and adjust the properties on
all datasets in an interactive menu. Also integrate BSDConfig
to allow users to install packages and various other
functionality that was previously provided by
<tt>sysinstall</tt>.</p>
