This has become a bit harder recently, but it's not impossible.
You'll need an mfsroot for pxe installs. If I remember correctly it used to be
on the CD and possibly even on the ftp servers. This stopped being the case
somewhere after FreeBSD 9. You can still create it yourself, but it would be
great if the release process could churn it out again as one of the artifacts.

Kind regards,
