I haven't looked at the List for a while, so I only saw your message
yesterday. In the mean time, I've re-learned to work with bootable
memory sticks. I've had no luck yet with ReWritable CDs which I need for
all boxes but one. Perhaps a blanking problem?
Here is the summary of my trials in Fixit mode for my Sony DSC-P10 which
is also (at last) the answer to Jeremy's message:
7.2-RELEASE-i386-livefs: OK
8.0-RELEASE-i386-memstick: OK
FreeBSD-8.1-STABLE-201009-i386-memstick:
AutoSense failed
FreeBSD-8.2-PRERELEASE-201012-i386-memstick:
booting OK, but
"No USB devices found!"

Is it not a case for send-pr(1) ?
