Purpose of FreeBSD 5.3 CDs

I'm trying to figure what all the various cd's for FreeBSD 5.3 are for.
The miniinst cd is for installing the freebsd base system, basically
everything installed with make installworld.

disc1 is miniinst + packages + ports + src + doc?

disc2 from past releases was just a rescue disk and a bit smaller than a
full cd.  Now it's a full sized cd, but still looks like a rescue disk.
Is that all it is or does it include more packages, etc. for the
install.

bootonly is just a boot loader, plus maybe a shell?  What it's main
purpose?
