Yes, sort of. The FreeBSD loader is capable of loading an hd image. You
might specify it in loader.rc:
load /kernel
load -t mfs_root /mfsroot
echo \007\007
autoboot 10
would load kernel, then create a ram drive of type mfs_root, loading file
mfsroot.gz into it. Beep two times, afterwards booting automatically given
kernel after 10 seconds.
It would even be helpfull if there where some program like loader working
with tftp to get things done. I could do
root (nd)
kernel /boot/netloader
boot
to get FreeBSD up and running. But I wasn't able to find such a beast.
Maybe someone can tell where I have to look at?
