| Hi,

| Want to boot diskless PC's from a FreeBSD server.

I've done some experimentation with PicoBSD along these lines.
Basicaly I've been thinking about using a boot floppy to get things
going then take over at rc.diskless1. There is also a manual page
for pxeboot(8) but I don't know anything about it.
