Hi, Please look at my GSoC wiki page: https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2014/FreeBSD_PXE_preseed There is kpxe file, you can chainload it using file option in your dhcp server. It's very simple script: #!ipxe dhcp cpuid --ext 29 && set CPU-ARCH amd64 || set CPU-ARCH i386 set img http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/files/images/10/${CPU-ARCH}/mfsbsd-10.0-RELEASE-${CPU-ARCH}.img kernel http://volt.iem.pw.edu.pl/~czekirdk/memdisk raw initrd ${img} boot It detects architecture and runs mfsbsd directly from Martin Matuska website. It's simpliest way to boot different iso or img image of FreeBSD. It will be nice to have local mirror and make menu with different releases. I'll prepare menu, but I need few days, I'll inform you. I think that in next week will be ready iPXE port for FreeBSD and simply solutions. I have many scripts to boot ubuntu, debian, etc. and I can help you with it. It's simple to run FreeBSD from nfs server too. Ask if you have problems.
