rpi4 network boot

Mon Jan 4 21:11:12 UTC 2021

Hi All,

Recently I've been trying to net boot a rpi4 4gb board using bootp, tftp 
and nfs. It get's to the point to where it appears to have problems with 
the genet adapter but it's hard to tell from the output. I'm not the 
only one who's seeing the same issue as it's also been reported in the 
FreeBSD forum ...

https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/network-boot-fail-on-rpi4.78180/

I'm happy to provide any other info that may be helpful. Any ideas?

-Matthew
