I'm booting FreeBSD 2.2.5 diskless with the kernel's BOOTP features.
It detects the local hardware just fine (e.g. ethernet (obviously),
hard drive, floppy, etc), but if I try to mount the local msdos disk
like I would on a non-diskless station, it doesn't work. Floppy
operations (mounting, hexdumping, fdwriting) seem to work, however.
Anyone know what's wrong, or have any suggestions what I could do? If
I can give any more information, please let me know.

The msdos module loaded okay:
mockingbird:/home/kehlet-> modstat
Type Id Off Loadaddr Size Info Rev Module Name

VFS 1 4 f442f000 001c f4435090 1 msdos
Weird, too, if I try to hexdump the raw disk, nothing comes up:
# hd -v /dev/rwd0 |more
#
Thanks a ton,
