On about 5th attempt I've managed to get a cd booting with additional 
working network, fsck_lfs, mount_lfs and newfs_lfs. 

Next problem was a warning when lfs filesystem is mounted.

'lfs_cleanerd: no such file or directory'

Is lfs_cleanerd essential?

then showstopper is that sysinst still tries to use fsck_ffs.

So I'm dropping this idea for a while and will do a manual upgrade 
booted from the Live-cd.
