So… maybe someone will laugh and call me an idiot, but for about a day or so I couldn’t figure out how to PXE boot FreeBSD 6.x. I wanted to do this without having a FreeBSD install (in fact, I wanted to do it from my Macbook Pro) which made is particularly interesting.
I had purchased a Soekris Net4826 to replace my dead Apple Airport Extreme access point (sure, a new Airport was cheaper, but the Soekris is just soooo much more fun). I kind of knew what I would do, I would download either m0n0wall or pfSense, burn it to the on board compact flash, and go about my daily life. This is my second Soekris box; I already own a Soekris Net4801 which I use for my primary internet gateway.
