What you're doing should work.

From the pico details of building doc.

After preparing the filesystem (which again involves doing disklabel(8) and
newfs(8) - here you can notice that the resulting FS has very small number of
inodes in order to save space), the script transfers the floppy hierarchy
(which is taken from ../${TYPE}/floppy.tree). Notice that it also contains the
/etc directory - its contents is copied right after bootup to the real /etc in
MFS. This allows for changing the system behaviour (because you can't change
the MFS contents without recompiling).

I had a similar problem 
You can edit the rc.conf in /usr/src/release/picobsd/router/lang/
and then build yourself a new picobsd router floppy image.

Hope that helps.
