First, FreeBSD does not need a tagged kernel like Linux, so do not tag or attempt to tag the kernel. What sort of path do you have to kernel.diskless in your dhcpd.conf file? Are you using nfs or tftp? I've got a diskless terminal going here with 4.8. I used nfs across the board so that I don't have to enable tftpd, and thence inetd. Here would be some useful information for me to know: 1) your dhcpd.conf file 2) options you selected when building your etherboot image 3) nfs or tftpd I may not be able to help, even with these, but possibly I'll see something??
