Ok, thanks.  I'll go ahead with my 9.3 testing, involving a small patch 
to bsdconfig while generating the memstick image; in outline, bsdconfig 
only looks for local packages if the install media type is _detected_ as 
a CD, where that needs to apply to a) memsticks and b) other media types 
like a local disk partition if they include a package set as on the DVD.

cheers, Ian
