Lars,

I recommend that you do not use ROOTDEVNAME, and instead
you should follow the instructions which I wrote and contributed to the
FreeBSD handbook:

"PXE Booting with an NFS Root File System"

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-pxe-nfs.html

The content of this document is the same as the text file which Rick
Macklem pointed out (I wrote that too).

BTW, if you ever visit the Netapp campus in Sunnyvale, California, feel
free to say hello,
because I work around the corner from there. :)
