Subject:   diskless sparc64 kernel?

I have a U2 that I can boot NetBSD diskless on just fine.

I tried to feed it the FreeBSD kernel and it panic()ed due to the kernel
needing the FreeBSD loader.

Reading diskless(8) suggests that

               options MFS
               options BOOTP
               options BOOTP_NFSROOT
               options BOOTP_COMPAT

is needed but GENERIC doesn't seem to have BOOTP* options.  I'm wondering if
that's even true for a U2 since I boot NetBSD diskless w.o./BOOTP, the OpenPROM
will eventually ask for bootparamd if it doesn't see any BOOTP response.

Does anyone have a working diskless FreeBSD/sparc64?
Can anyone supply me with the parts or instructions?

Thanks,
Ken
