Colleagues,

I am setting up a jumpstart server for networked FreeBSD installation
(tftp only). My /tftpboot/boot/loader.rc is rather simple:

load /boot/kernel
load /boot/acpi.ko
load -t mfs_root /boot/mfsroot
set vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:/dev/md0c"
boot

It works fine with a custom kernel (with statically compiled in device hints). 

However, I would like to use a stock kernel, so I need to tftp download
device.hints and set the kernel environment accordingly. Could you
please help me with the loader.rc code that will do that?

Thank you in advance.
