I often need to make a diskless client that can swap over nfs and or be booted without pxeboot. 
This is not possible with the GENERIC kernel?  Has anyone tried or considered making the various
BOOTP kernel options into tunables?  If pxeboot or /boot/loader is used, then the option could be
set in /boot/loader.conf?

Regards,
David Yeske
