The livefs will not load by itself in my experience. You need a boot cd or
cd1 in order to use it. Have you thought of adding the livefs to the bootcd?
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?
