Hi, Please look at my GSoC wiki page: https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2014/FreeBSD_PXE_preseed There is kpxe file, you can chainload it using file option in your dhcp ser= ver. It's very simple script: #!ipxe dhcp cpuid --ext 29 && set CPU-ARCH amd64 || set CPU-ARCH i386 set img http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/files/images/10/${CPU-ARCH}/mfsbsd-10.0-RELEASE= -${CPU-ARCH}.img kernel http://volt.iem.pw.edu.pl/~czekirdk/memdisk raw initrd ${img} boot It detects architecture and runs mfsbsd directly from Martin Matuska websit= e. It's simpliest way to boot different iso or img image of FreeBSD. It will be nice to have local mirror and make menu with different releases. I'll prepare menu, but I need few days, I'll inform you. I think that in next week will be ready iPXE port for FreeBSD and simply solutions. I have many scripts to boot ubuntu, debian, etc. and I can help you with it. It's simple to run FreeBSD from nfs server too. Ask if you have problems.
