Just in case anyone needs a real step-by-step guide to getting a =20 diskless PXE/NFS boot going, I wrote this up a little while ago. http://sigsegv.org/wiki/How_to_do_a_PXE_netboot_install_of_FreeBSD The existing documentation was either a bit out of date, glossed over =20= some of it or just flat out didn't work for me. Takes an existing =20 running system, clones it into /nfsroot, enables dhcpd/tftpd/nfsd, and =20= relies on rc.diskless to make the magic happen after boot.
