8.0-R failing to parse DHCP root-path or loader.conf/rc vars
(Diskless NFS/PXE)

All:
DHCP:
option root-path "192.168.224.67:/export/tftpboot/root-db";
loader.rc:
set vfs.root.mountfrom="nfs"
set vfs.root.mountfrom.options="rw"
set boot.nfsroot.path="/export/tftpboot/root-web"
set boot.nfsroot.server="192.168.224.67"
loader.conf:
mfsroot_load="NO"
nfsclient_load="YES"
init_path=/stand/sysinstall
autoboot_delay=2
The kernel fails to mount / as RW with:
"mount option <export> is unknown"
Then some mysterious file system that isnt' MFS and isn't NFS show up.
I don't think any of the docs out there are up to date, and from mailing
list discussion, the syntax appears to have changed in 8.0
Anyone out there running a diskless config?
