Ok, I grabbed current sources via svn, and configured nanobsd to build
for the kb9202b. a console log for loading the kernel via tftp.  as the
kernel boots up it run the DHCP protocol producing the following
message:

Received DHCP Ack packet on ate0 from 0.0.0.0 (accepted) (no root path)

I'm interpreting this as meaning that it's looking for some information
from the DHCP server.  I can switch my DHCP server from my DD-WRT
firewall to a linux box if this is the case and I know what information
the freebsd kernel is looking for.

Can somebody point me to a resource that defines this?

Thanks
