tcp: Netconfig database not found

I'm trying to mount an NFS share when PXE booting mfsBSD.

Any idea what's missing? I do realise that mfsBSD is a minimal installation of FreeBSD, but if I knew what was required to run an NFS client, maybe I could add it.
 
You need these kernel options:
Code: 
options         NFSCL                   # Network Filesystem Client
options         NFS_ROOT                # NFS usable as /, requires NFSCL
 
I'd like to try building 12.2 mini which is the latest I can use via PXE booting, but not sure how to go about building it.

Download base.txz and kernel.txz from http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/amd64/12.2-RELEASE/

In mfsbsd/Makefile point BASE?= /to/*.txz_files/directory.

But instead using a unsupported version (12.2) better open an issue on the projects github repository, eventually contact the author (I see there is not much reply to the issues ).
 
/usr/src is populated, but mfsbsd # make requieres base.txz and kernel.txz (not # make CUSTOM=1 BUILDWORLD=1 BUILDKERNEL=1, this would build mfsbsd from source, which takes longer than extracting those *.txz files).

kernel.txz is renamed
Code: 
% ls /tmp/git/freebsd-dist/
base.txz    kernel.txz0

/tmp/git/mfsbsd # make
Cannot find directory "/tmp/git/freebsd-dist/base"
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /tmp/git/mfsbsd
