I recently configured a diskless FreeBSD machine, and I found the
handbook section to be outdated to the point of irrelevance.

I wrote an updated version, which I hereby submit for review, as suggested
by the documentation project 'Submitting documentation' section.

I hope that the text is mostly technically correct. At least, the things I
describe work for me, with a 4.4-STABLE system, using the standard rc
files, and they are consistent with any recent information I could find on
the subject. In any case it can't be *less* helpful than the old, netboot
based, version.

The text will certainly require some amount of translation from 
'french english' to the real thing, and a lot of style editing.

The document can be found at
    http://perso.wanadoo.fr/dockes/patches/diskless.html 

'chapter.sgml', in the same directory, has the docbook source.

I am eagerly waiting for comments.
