Digging more, it seems "iso_image" in distrib/i386/cdroms/installcd is the best thing. BUT it takes a kernel from the "instkernel" dir, which has an embedded ramdisk. The resulting ISO first boots the kernel, then loads the /miniroot.kmod (good!), but apparently it still runs the embedded ramdisk.

That's actually wrong - the kernel is from the "instkernel" dir, but the kernel in there apparently doesn't get the ramdisk image inserted.

src/distrib is a scary maze...
