The problem is that the screen will be almost totally unreadable
during sysinstall.  If you have done a FreeBSD install before
you know what it's asking for and what information you need to
provide so it is possible to do the install this way.  But it
is a little difficult, especially in places like setting the
time zone where you are guessing which entry you are selecting. :-)
