Etherboot/gPXE is interesting also.  It will boot from http.  One of
my grub4dos menu entries is a gPXE floppy image with the generic UNDI

I tried it last night, although it and apparently most other things hate the alc0 interface.

Eventually it seemed like an NFS server would be useful, and pxeboot will start a FreeBSD livefs. But only directly, entering FreeBSD's pxeboot as the filename in DHCP.

With grub4dos
  title FreeBSD
  pxe keep
  chainloader --raw (pd)/images/freebsd/boot/pxeboot

it loads pxeboot, but then:

netboot: couldn't probe pxenet0
pxe_open: netif_open() failed
...
can't load 'kernel'
OK

So it loads pxeboot, but then pxeboot can't use the pxenet0 device.
