Taking advise form another freebsder, I grabbed the boot-only ISO, copied the 'kernel' file and the 'netboot' file, thinking that was all I needed. When that didn't work, I cp -Rp'ed the mounted ISO into my tftpboot (bootp's dir) and tried that. So, netboot gets loaded, but it can not find a kernel unless I either do a boot kernel/kernel or boot ./kernel (if I place the kernel file in the current directory and rename the kernel directory). $ file boot boot: data $ ls -lad boot -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7484 Feb 24 02:32 boot
