Unfortunately this is a re-direct.  You could try to send this question
to 
	etherboot-developers@lists.sourceforge.net
someone might come up with an answer since it is not FreeBSD specific.

The other thing you could look at is grub.  I see there is a grub in ports
(don't know how current) grub uses Etherboot's drivers for it's netboot.
I haven't tried it to netboot FreeBSD but that might help or give clues.
