Hi,

I'm trying to setup a FreeBSD system as a TFTP server which would allow
me to boot a Ubuntu root partition on the network. All the
documentation I've found either concerns FreeBSD as both client and
server or a FreeBSD server booting installation ISOs.

I don't want to boot ISO images, I want to boot a real linux system on
the network. Is that possible?

Thanks.
