I have done something in this realm called vCloudFreeBSD but I have not set it up as a pxeboot. I am sure you could very easily. vCloudBSD is meant to auto install to the first available disk. This ISO contains the Puppet packages and will automatically join a puppet server and self configure but you can pull the bits and pieces out and roll your own disk using the pfSense builder framework or the traditional make release methods. If you are interested in learning more I talk about it in my blog. http://scottullrich.posterous.com/ Scott
