Fair enough, but that isn't mentioned or documented anywhere. Posting
to a mailing list is *always* a last resort; and yet I had to because
I could find nothing even remotely up to date on the subject. I've
continued to use FreeBSD for the past five years because of the
documentation. Why isn't the netboot installation method detailed
definitively somewhere? Is it simply because no one has updated the
previous one, or is there another reason? If it were supported,
shouldn't it be listed in the installation notes?
