Okay, I thought I might better do some work for this myself, instead of
just asking.  So I've built a RELENG_7_0 release with the above patch,
and some other minor ones I'm using.  The bootonly ISO is here:

http://www.andric.com/freebsd/btxtest/7.0-BTXTEST-i386-bootonly.iso

MD5: 4e9c05bf55bc9329b1aecaa2aa336a7f
SHA256: 63cca954f04f2a652519cd5ffd5fe9e7ea36a97bad115b6c2d9754fe5e918528

Find the other ISOs and the complete patch I've applied in
<http://www.andric.com/freebsd/btxtest/>, but note the disc1-disc3 ISOs
miss packages, I didn't build those. 

With this ISO I can finally get FreeBSD booting on my ThinkPad X41, for
which I use an external USB DVD drive.  Every FreeBSD release until now
has crashed on this combination... :)
