After asking to set the root password, bsdinstall can now (like sysinstall) ask the user if they'd like to visit the configuration menu one last time to make any additional changes (and bsdconfig -- no arguments -- would provide that menu).

You forgot to explain the 'express' mode that bypasses the "bsdconfig 
password" step.
