To do automated installs of FreeBSD, I've needed to setup cobbler

chain to the FreeBSD pxeboot loader. FreeBSD has a concept of "kernel

them. This allows for ipappend equivalent functionality.
So far, I've gotten this working by putting pxeboot.bs (extension
required by pxelinux) in as the "kernel" of the distro. But then I
don't have any place to put the kernel. And I've got a initrd
(mfsroot.gz) as well...
Suggestions on how to resolve this? Is there interest in just another
parameter added that most users would ignore? Suggestions for a better
way to handle it?

Would the new tornado based tftp.py help here?
