ZFS install from -CURRENT snapshot

Ok, I think I've figured this out, but I want some confirmation before I
start playing with actual hardware...
The install steps on <http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot> no
longer appear to apply. The /dist/ directory doesn't exist on any of the
current snapshots, so the actual install process given in that page can't
work.
Am I correct in guessing that the /usr/freebsd_dist/ directory has replaced
it in some form? Also, instead of sub-folders with install scripts, there
are tarballs, which I assume are extracted over the new filesystem? Then
any necessary pre-boot configuration would be done. (Anything special need
mention beyond what is on the page above?)
If there's a doc someplace on this, feel free to point me to it.
I just want a sanity-check before I dive in headfirst...
