Maybe even creating a ports cd for X and basic utilities would be helpful. You're also forgetting that the install process is no longer a single step. It's best to partiton using a linux CD and then use gpart to reformat followed by disklabel. I follow this with mounting the disk1 and extracting the necessary parts. Returning to an earlier part: Why not add the tools to disk1 or the boot cd?
