Hi,

I have some problems with the FreeBSD 1.5.1 diskless configuration:
first I had to modify the netboot code to making it able 
to load the files cfg and 386bsd in the /tftpboot directory
after getting the kernel loaded it does not mount the (nfs) root
and aborts with the message "init died".

Can someone please tell me what am I doing wrong?

Note: I have configured the kernel for diskless and it is booting 
from a FreeBSD 1.5.1 server.

Thanks

Paulo
