I've been trying out FreeBSD with raspberry Pi4 (4GB) and wanted to see
what the state of HTTP BOOT is in FreeBSD, so I bumped into this!
I'm curious if it should be possible to point to a img/iso directly (I
tried to use the img.xz unpacked it and make it available on a local web
server and that didn't seem to work for me) but maybe thats cause those
images miss something, so arm64 aside does that work for amd64? I.E. using
the bootonly.iso?
Unfortunately HTTP boot only works as far as the kernel: UEFI fetches
loader.efi, the loader fetches and runs the kernel over HTTP -- and then
you need to use NFS to mount the filesystem (or have a local root
filesystem).
UEFI also has RamDisk support, but I don't think that's for remote
ISO/disk files, just local files.
