There's a package called Etherboot ("archie etherboot") which is based
on Netboot and which contains a GPL'd Etherexpress 100 driver.
However, I think this driver can only be built under Linux; it would
require some hacking to make it compilable natively under FreeBSD.
On a related note, my group (at TU Dresden) also maintains a version
of the GRUB bootloader (see <URL:http://www.uruk.org/grub/>) into
which we have integrated (or rather, hacked) the Etherboot drivers.
Again, the networking support currently can only be built under Linux.
Michael
