Anyone else doing this who can point me in the > right direction? multiple solutions are possible I think: 1) add LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT= YES to your make.conf (that make.conf must be copied into the chroot for your make release) 2) your kernel currently tries to load / from NFS root. when booting and seeing beasti escape to boot shell and say set vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:/dev/md0c" both should when properly load mfrsroot.gz from boot/ of the cd1 and start sysinstall.
