I have been trying to use the procedure on the ultradesic.com website to install FreeBSD 6.2 on to a net4801-60. I have basically tried 4 permutations of the install using the boot image file downloaded from Ultradesic vs. patching the standard bootonly ISO image w/ recompiled PXEBOOT, LOADER, and KERNEL files (all built according to the Ultradesic procedure and sample config's). I also tried using FreeBSD vs. Windows XPP (w/Tftpd32) as my DHCP/TFTP server. No success with any of the scenarios. Typically, the following is what I see:

Has anyone successfully used the Ultradesic procedure to install FreeBSD on a 4801 w/ comBIOS ver. 1.31? If so, what is the trick to getting it to work?
