Oops. I wanted to get a "trace 1", but after touching not even a single bit of
the configuration, it boots just fine today. The only thing I did was boot the
laptop into Windows XP yesterday (XP and RedHat share the laptops disk), but
did not touch the FreeBSD config. I have no idea what is going on here.

Just tried PXE booting GENERIC, it fails like this:

...
Mounting root from nfs:
NFS ROOT: 192.168.176.1:/
exec /sbin/init: error 70
exec /sbin/oinit: error 70
exec /sbin/init.bak: error 70
exec /stand/sysinstall: error 70
init: not found in path /sbin/init:/sbin/oinit:/sbin/init.bak:/stand/sysinstall
panic: no init

and then drops me into DDB. When I compile the kernel with the BOOTP options,
it requests the parameters from the DHCP server once again before trying to
run init:

Not sure why you are able to boot a stock GENERIC, can you send me a
description of your setup (DHCP server configuration, boot server
configuration)? I'm sure it's pilot error on my side, I'm not really sure
where the wings are on this plane :-)
