Graham, you might want to consider doing your installation with a copy of PC-BSD. It's got a better installer than FreeBSD's sysinstall and you can use ZFS if you like. Here's an article which shows the PC-BSD installer in action: http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2010/08/17/pc-bsd-8-1-review/ If I was you, I wouldn't wait for 8.2, I'd get stuck in and treat the inevitable upgrade as a learning experience.
