Funnily enough the release announcement said:


   disc1, disc2, disc3, livefs, docs:  disc1 contains the base FreeBSD
        system and a few pre-built packages.  disc2 and disc3 contain
        more pre-built packages.  Those three can be burned to CDROM
        sized media and should be all you need to do a normal installation.
        livefs contains support for entering into a "livefs" based
        rescue mode but you need disc1 to do the initial boot first.
        docs contains the documentation.


implying that the "livefs" CD is not supposed to be bootable.
