fbsdboot.exe wants your kernel to be a.out format, I guess. I'm
not aware of any problems a.out kernel can bring, but in the
situation with netboot which also wants a.out kernels it worked
pretty well.

Don't exactly remember how did I manage to build that kind of
kernel, you may want to start with "makeoptions" in config file.
