18.06 installer does not seem to look for existing TrueOS installs #1556

I just grabbed the 18.06 installer, since with the split between TrueOS and Trident, it does not appear that updates are coming for current TrueOS installs (I am running KDE on TrueOS).

My intent was to install 18.06 into a new boot environment, import my package list, and install the packages I needed. However, going through the menus, I don't see anywhere that I can specify to install to a BE.

The welcome menu specifies either < Shell > . Drilling down to install, it gives me a selection of disks. When I select the internal hard drive, it then gives the following options:

ALL (use entire disk)
free (install to free space)
p1 (freebsd-boot)
p2 (freebsd-zfs)
p3 (freebsd-swap)

I then selected ALL, and it prompts for root password, username, and password, and networking information. At this point, I stopped the installation, because if it were going to install into a BE, I would think that it would take user and networking information from the existing BE.

What is the correct way to install into a new BE in an existing installation?

@kmoore134 Maybe this issue and #1541 are related?
