By happy coincidence, mine mentions the shell interface but doesn't 
go into it.  Didn't think there were any catches, but maybe 
kern.geom.debugflags and other settings are not already done.

I made a bunch of screenshots, but only used a few.

A quick hack of just the bsdinstall chapter is temporarily at
   http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/freebsd9/book.html

Please ignore the missing stylesheets and sections that haven't been 
updated yet.  Also, I've only worked on the Pre-Installation and 
Allocating Disk Space sections so far.
