I've just started working on this using intel etherexpress 100 cards. I've got to the point of booting the elf kernel but it is haning on mounting the nfsroot partion. so far I'm using only bootp and tftp, I haven't experimented with DCHP. http://ftp.freebsd.org/~fsmp/HomeAuto/diskless has good info, also http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi also has some stuff.
