	PXEBoot

	PXEBoot is the driver for PXE network device booting and should be in
	your freebsd source tree.

	this file can be copied from

 	       $ cp /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/pxeldr/pxeboot /opt/export/tftpboot/

	This driver can be compiled to load drivers via tftp or nfs. By default
	the it uses NFS. If you wish to utilize TFTP/FTP for fetching files you 
	will need to recompile the pxeboot app.

	To do this add to /etc/make.conf the following line

 	     LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT=YES 

	and recompile the driver.

		$ cd /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/pxeldr/
		$ make 
		$ cp /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/pxeldr/pxeboot /opt/export/tftpboot/
