I’d like to share how we set up new servers  at my company.
As you know, sysinstall currently doesn’t support ZFS or GEOM  configuration, but I’ll show you how to convert system installed with  sysinstall to ZFS-only server. Even if you don’t want to follow all the  steps, please take a look at ZFS datasets layout, which after several  modifications I consider quite optimal for FreeBSD.After doing all the steps below your system will use GPT partitions, encrypted+mirrored swap and mirrored ZFS system pool.
I’m assuming your server contains two identical disks (ada0 and ada1).
Start from installing FreeBSD on the first disk using regular installation CD/DVD. Choose exactly one slice and exactly one partition. Reboot.
