The system used here is a FreeBSD 9.1 Release.
You will need:
fetch ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.0/fdboot.img fetch http://downloadmirror.intel.com/22424/eng/MWPNT10N.86A.0131.BI.ZIP
Mount the FreeDOS image:
mkdir fdboot ourimage mdconfig -a -t vnode -f fdboot.img -u 0 mount_msdosfs /dev/md0 fdboot
Create and mount a 3MB fat image:
dd if=/dev/zero of=ourimage.img bs=1M count=3 mdconfig -a -t vnode -f ourimage.img newfs_msdos /dev/md1 mount_msdosfs /dev/md1 ourimage
Copy the FreeDOS files and the CD contents to the newly created image disk:
cp -r fdboot/* ourimage/ mkdir ourimage/intel unzip -d ourimage/intel/ MWPNT10N.86A.0131.BI.ZIP
Umount eveything:
umount ourimage umount fdboot mdconfig -d -u 0 mdconfig -d -u 1
Copy the boot sector from the original FreeDOS image to ours:
dd if=fdboot.img of=ourimage.img bs=1 count=446 seek=62 skip=62 conv=notrunc
What you need:
DEFAULT msi_bios LABEL msi_bios KERNEL memdisk INITRD ourimage.img
Boot your computer, start FreeDOS and run the BIOS update utility from the MSI folder.

You want to install FreeBSD on another machine. You don't want to use a NFS server, because you are either on a Windows computer or because you simply want to boot the installer using pxeboot or gpxe.
From FreeBSD 9.0, the bootonly CD does not use a mfs file system anymore, so instead of just copying the existing one, you either need to make one yourself or find one on the internet.
We will be using one from mfsbsd, from Martin Matuška.
http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/
[2014-06-15] Update: I've been told by email that mfsbsd now provides images directly from their website:
http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/files/images/
Thanks to Roman Makarov for the information.
Create some dirs:
# mkdir /tmp/build # mkdir /tmp/build/iso.mnt # mkdir /tmp/build/hd.mnt # cd /tmp/build
Get the image:
fetch http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/iso/mfsbsd-9.0-amd64.iso mfsbsd-9.0-amd64.iso 100% of 28 MB 3904 kBps
Mount the image:
# mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /tmp/build/mfsbsd-9.0-amd64.iso md0 # mount_cd9660 /dev/md0 /tmp/build/iso.mnt/
Create a hard disk image. Be sure to choose the right size.
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/build/FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly-mfsbsd.hd bs=1m count=30 30+0 records in 30+0 records out 31457280 bytes transferred in 0.371249 secs (84733651 bytes/sec) # mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /tmp/build/FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly-mfsbsd.hd md1 # fdisk -B -I /dev/md1 ******* Working on device /dev/md1 ******* fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found fdisk: Class not found # bsdlabel -B -w /dev/md1 # bsdlabel -e /dev/md1 # /dev/md1: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 61424 16 4.2BSD 0 0 c: 61440 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit /tmp/EdDk.LJ3WUbdhRH: 5 lines, 212 characters # newfs /dev/md1a /dev/md1a: 30.0MB (61424 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 2048 using 4 cylinder groups of 7.50MB, 480 blks, 960 inodes. super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at: 160, 15520, 30880, 46240 # mount /dev/md1a /tmp/build/hd.mnt
Copy the boot files from the iso to the disk image:
# cp -r iso.mnt/* hd.mnt/
Umount everything:
# umount /tmp/build/hd.mnt # mdconfig -d -u 1 # umount /tmp/build/iso.mnt # mdconfig -d -u 0
You now have a bootable mfsBSD image disk.
Download pxelinux.0.
Download memdisk. You can find it packaged with syslinux: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/
Create pxelinux config file (pxelinux.cfg/default):
DEFAULT fbsd LABEL fbsd kernel memdisk append initrd=/FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly-mfsbsd.hd harddisk raw
Setup your DHCP and TFTP servers to serve the directory and you're good.
Once booted, login as root and launch the usual installer:
bsdinstall

zwm-server:~/western# mkdir fdboot ourimage DiagCD zwm-server:~/western# mount -o loop fdboot.img fdboot zwm-server:~/western# mount -o loop Diag504fCD.iso DiagCD/
Create and mount a 2MB fat image:

Umount eveything:
zwm-server:~/western# umount ourimage/ zwm-server:~/western# umount DiagCD/ zwm-server:~/western# umount fdboot/
Copy the boot sector from the original FreeDOS image to ours:
