Interesting-- I wasn't aware that the FreeBSD project had a paid  
subscription model...?

If you're asking for an installer which requires bitmapped graphics  
and won't work over a serial terminal or the like, well, I hope the  
answer is never.  Some people have tried before and/or might still be  
working on a replacement, but thus far, nobody has written one which  
is widely regarded as better than sysinstall.

You might find this interesting to read:
