Thanks for the reply , I can work with that for a live system still better
than tftp, http+nfs should be that hard.

But we also don't seem to have iso images for the raspberry pi, so it might
not work there, this does sugget just a link to the .efi file would work:
https://github.com/jljusten/tianocore/wiki/HTTP-Boot but I tired that with
no succes

In any case from what you're saying... for a live system I need http + nfs
for rootfs.

But I'm still clueless how to set that up for FreeBSD, the guide mentioned
here is linux centric, what need to live on the http server side?
