Hi,

These instructions are not official, but they are what I have been
using to set up PXE boot
using an NFS root file system:

Hi,

That website is not part of the FreeBSD documentation.  Outside of that,
you have not provided enough information to diagnose your issue.

The new installer doesn't operate from an mfsroot. That's why the
above wiki directions don't work...

Just remove the vfs.root.mountfrom line and stuff should just work
with bsdinstall. Please note that the installer has changed.

That or you can generate sysinstall based media if you want..

Cheers,
