PFSes were created for the HAMMER1 installation and have been deprecated for sometime.

If one really needs PFSes, they can always create one later manually.

A separate UFS /boot is still in the default setup and is recommended.  Last time I tried HAMMER2 /boot but it didn't work.  It was quite some time ago, and I'll give it another trial.

Yeah, no need to.
