The snapshots don't contain the full set of packages, so
there is no disc3 (and disc2 is almost empty).

The "bootonly" disc isn't required at all, it contains
only sysinstall, but nothing else.  It's for people who
only need something to boot, but without actual install
data.  You don't need it to build the DVD.  (All of this
is explained in the README on the FTP servers.)

If you want to include the livefs, just copy it into
the directory from which you create the DVD ISO image.
You don't have to do anything special.

Best regards
