Good news on the coming pkg usage for dvd1, and present workaround.  
I'm hoping to make this also work for memsticks made from the dvd with 
Darren Pilgrim's dvd1_to_memstick.sh (http://pastebin.com/fzgVaCgW) 
which bsd{install,config} had a media detection issue with on 10.0-R.

I've downloaded both for a looksee, but is there some basic description 
of the differences between the full and mini memstick images somewhere, 
apart from the obvious ~7 times difference in size as .xz?
