Dear all,

I'm in the rather peculiar situation of being unable to boot from floppy 
or CD-ROM on my i386 PC. However, I can netboot (via PXE software on my 
NIC).

What I would like to do is boot into an installer over the network, but 
install the FreeBSD files from CD-ROM.

I've set up DHCP and TFTP on a PowerPC server and have successfully 
booted the i386 client into PXElinux - so I know in theory I could 
bootstrap the installation by serving the right boot image via TFTP.

I have no i386 compilation facilities.

How can I do this?
