A text-based sysinstall utility would be good for: 1) Blind users using a speech synthesizer and/or Braille terminal 2) Sighted users with systems w/low memory 3) Physically challenged users using alternate terminals/input devices that can only display text with no cursor addressability. Also, maybe incorporate the use of a serial port console to the boot.flp? (One reason to do that is that so a blind user can hook up a serial cable from the system they want to install FreeBSD on to their existing system that is running a screen reader and/or Braille terminal driver).
