This has become a bit harder recently, but it's not impossible. You'll need an mfsroot for pxe installs. If I remember correctly it used to be on the CD and possibly even on the ftp servers. This stopped being the case somewhere after FreeBSD 9. You can still create it yourself, but it would be great if the release process could churn it out again as one of the artifacts. Kind regards, Ruben
