You can find a very detailed set of instructions on setting up ethernet
bridges using FreeBSD here:

http://www.kozubik.com/published/freebsd_bridging_ipfw.txt

This is not specifically related to diskless systems, but if you read and
understand that document, and also read and understand this:

/usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/solid-state

You will be all set.  This is if you want to make a hand-rolled system
rather than using the PicoBSD image that has been mentioned earlier in
this thread.
