You have missed the subject completely of what #6 is addressing. This 
has nothing to do with telling the pc hardware which media to boot from 
at power up time like you suggest in your post.

This has to do with the logic of the new bsdinstall process and the 
differences between bsdinstall and sysinstall in the way the install 
media is removed from the pc before it reboots as part of the normal 
install process.
