You lost me right here... Rolling one's own media (for every release and 
release-candidate) may be Ok for someone in charge of making, at least, 
several installations per week.

For someone like myself, who just wanted to use a downloaded CD-image 
straight (without burning it first), there is got to be a way to use the 
FreeBSD-distributed images... I'm not asking for the full power offered 
by "kickstart" et al, I just want the booting image to be a little bit 
smarter than it already is and do The Right Thing^TM regardless of 
whether it is booting from the local CD-ROM or remotely.
