Support already exists for NetBoot/PXE and works fine with DragonyFly. Last I tried (with FreeBSD 5) I ran into some type of issue that was fixed in DragonFly prior. I really wish that I can remember what the exact issue was but I cannot at this point. For all I know it may just work out of the box now with FreeBSD 6. I should give this a test soon.
