I'm still having trouble with diskless operation. If I specify the swap option in DHCP, the pxeboot chokes on it. If I don't specify the swap there, things boot, but I have no swap. There isn't an obvious way to add nfs swap once a server is running. Is there a way to do this in loader.conf or loader.rc?
