bsd.rd is intentially stripped down. There is a warning that it won't be as functional as a normal system so be careful with your expectations in install.site scripts. I do most everything in rc.firsttime. I think you're going to be better off just moving your stuff to rc.firsttime rather than trying to manipulate the rd environment. Is that really going to be easier than copy/pasting lines out of a script? I have an rc.firsttime.tail file in the site tarball, and in install.site, I 'cat' it onto the end of any existing rc.firsttime assuming that the official install process might want to use it sometimes and I don't want to blow it away.
