It was removed a few years ago with the following comment :

Remove the old a.out-only boot loader, we don't use it any more.
The new boot1/boot2 can load a.out and elf kernels directly.
I think the sys/pc98 version can go too as the sys/boot/pc98 code
appears to be functional, but I'll leave that for the pc98 folks.

and

MFC: nuke netboot, it is unmaintained, and ports/net/etherboot does the
same job ten times better.

Hope this helps.

Somebody probably needs to update the article (contributions are very
welcome :-) ).
