The screenshots in the Handbook were done with vidcontrol:
vidcontrol -p < /dev/ttyv0 > shot.scr
See vidcontrol(1) for further detail. There are also tools in the ports
tree (graphics/scr2png) if you need to convert to PNG format.
scr2png < shot.scr > shot.png
Most of the screenshots were taken post-installation. There are a few
screens which have different content post-installation than during
installation and those were edited with editors/hexedit to reflect the
exact display at installation.
A few of the screens were captured using the headless install technique
described in the Handbook in "Advanced Installation" since
those screens don't display when running Sysinstall after installation.
HTH,
