A way to select from available partition types (UFS, boot, swap, ZFS,

rather than requiring the user to remember the 'freebsd-xxx' string

one improvement.
There are PRs for that and several other common suggestions:

The problem with, say, a dropdown menu is that libdialog doesn't provide
a combination dropdown-and-text-entry window. The only alternative would
be to split partition creation into two screens (first a list of types,
and later a thing to set it up). That has the disadvantage of requiring
two screens, or a third if you want alternate types.
sysinstall just popped up a new modal dialog with a menu to pick the partition
type. Would something like that work in bsdinstall?
It would. I was hoping to avoid extra dialogs and keystrokes, but it's
easy to do.
