Hi,

A few years ago, I needed to set up a PXE boot with NFS root file
system for FreeBSD.  I found
the FreeBSD docs for setting this up scattered all over the place, and it
took me a while to figure everything out how to set up
all the individual pieces, debug it, and get things working.

I captured my notes in this text file:

http://people.freebsd.org/~rodrigc/pxe/freebsd-pxe.txt

I would like to contribute this back to the FreeBSD Documentation project as
a new section of the FreeBSD Handbook.  This is my first attempt
at SGML Docbook:

http://people.freebsd.org/~rodrigc/doc/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-pxe-nfs.html

and the patch is here:

http://people.freebsd.org/~rodrigc/nfs-pxe.diff.txt


Can I get some feedback on this?  If it is OK, can I commit it?  I
don't normally commit to src/doc.

Thanks.
