Apologies if this is not the correct section.
At this point I am just looking for ideas about booting diskless Thin Client machines over the network (PXE). Rather than serving up a FreeBSD installer, what I'm wanting to do is have a FreeBSD "installed image" (for want of a more descriptive term) that the clients can boot from. Obviously there are complications (such as setting each clients hostname, etc), but I'm not there yet.
I do have DHCP & DNS set up on another server, so I'm not so concerned about how to get the PXE boot working, more the idea of serving up an "installed" OS.
Has anybody built a similar setup and have any high level suggestions or cautionary advice?
