1) no "back" button/selection/mechanism on each screen. Rebooting

unacceptable.
2) no "minimal" install. Most of my installs are single- or few-task
servers where I need a base os and a couple ports.
3) I see no "post-install" uses on the new one. Sysinstall could be
used on an up-and-running system to do everything from adding a user
to changing a nameserver and more.
Another potential problem is that the new version of libdialog that
the new installer uses changes the way navigation is done: on Linux
and in the previous version on FreeBSD it's possible to press <Tab> to
change focus to the buttons and different UI elements. That doesn't
work any more.
It's a change from before, but a normalization with respect to most
Linux distributions, since we are now using the same dialog as, e.g.,
Debian and Ubuntu.
