No, both -current and my diff follow the same order of first two defaults:

1. $CGI_METHOD - whatever ftplist.o.o remembers, if at all, if there's internet
2. cd0 - if there is a CD present

Only then is networking considered and my diff changes behaviour.

So whether or not HTTP is actually possible, once cd0 attached, it always is the
default unless ftplist.o.o already said otherwise.

The installer picks HTTP over CD if and only if /mnt/etc/installurl exists, i.e.
on upgrades where users did not remove the file.


It could make sense to prefer HTTP over CD for install as well, but that's another diff.
