I'm not on the FreeBSD developer's team so I can't answer your questions about the FAQ. There is however a wiki at freebsd.org and I could ofc provide an article there if the developers find it useful. Sysinstall is simply put just a frontend to the commands I use in the guide and you could accomplish the exact same install thorugh it if you change the default options. But I find it much easier to do this basic install manually instead of navigating through several pages of menus. :-) /Morgan
