I completely agree.  If you’re installing somewhere that’s not firewalled off completely from the Internet, then it’s typically faster to boot the bootonly ISO and then download the rest on the target machine (from a local mirror if necessary).  Even 100Mb/s ethernet is faster than most CD drives.  If you need offline installs, then the DVD with a bunch of other packages on it is probably what you want, not a CD that just contains the base system.

Even if you can’t boot from USB (as I can’t on one of my FreeBSD machines), it should be possible to stick the base distributions and a package repo on a USB stick, use the boot-only ISO to boot and then install from USB.
