FreeBSD+BSDInstall Beta 2
Below is the announcement I made for the second beta release of FreeBSD+BSDInstaller
I am pleased to announce the second release of FreeBSD install CD's based on the BSD Installer.
The new Lua backend is now being used in this release rather than the older, deprecated C version.
The CD image is available from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/bsdinstaller/7.0-BSDINSTALLER-BETA-2-i386-disc1.iso.gz or your local mirror
MD5 (7.0-BSDINSTALLER-BETA-2-i386-disc1.iso) = 1becb489666ee97f5e10ebc5a0987f2d
SHA256 (7.0-BSDINSTALLER-BETA-2-i386-disc1.iso) = e5f6114258e1b66adfd84636ffbd3286c7ad41dadab42e615da68f5b0cf8cbaf
As with the previous Beta release there are three virtual consoles available:
* ttyv0: The frontend
* ttyv1: The backend
* ttyv2: A standard login screen to login as root with no password
Changes Since BETA-1
* Can now install Source
* Can now install the Ports tree
* Can now install Packages
* Change to the new Lua backend
Known Problems
* Can only install to one drive, can't have / on ad0 and /usr on ad1
* fdisk doesn't alter the geometry
Thank you to Scott Long for providing a computer to build this with.

Just curious if there is still movement with this project, and if we can expect to see sysinstall being replaced in some future.
I have been working on geting it to a point where it can be put into cvs without needing to pull Lua in as well. This mainly means I install the package. Not all parts are in ports however so I need to send pr's to have them included. The amount of time this takes depends on the back log the port commiters have after the port freeze.
