Just in case anyone needs a real step-by-step guide to getting a  
diskless PXE/NFS boot going, I wrote this up a little while ago.

http://sigsegv.org/wiki/How_to_do_a_PXE_netboot_install_of_FreeBSD

The existing documentation was either a bit out of date, glossed over  
some of it or just flat out didn't work for me. Takes an existing  
running system, clones it into /nfsroot, enables dhcpd/tftpd/nfsd, and  
relies on rc.diskless to make the magic happen after boot.
