Eventually it seemed like an NFS server would be useful, and pxeboot will start a FreeBSD livefs. But only directly, entering FreeBSD's pxeboot as the filename in DHCP. With grub4dos title FreeBSD pxe keep chainloader --raw (pd)/images/freebsd/boot/pxeboot it loads pxeboot, but then: netboot: couldn't probe pxenet0 pxe_open: netif_open() failed ... can't load 'kernel' OK So it loads pxeboot, but then pxeboot can't use the pxenet0 device.
