I'll try that.

4.X -stable was released a relatively long while ago.  It's in
5.0 -current stream to be released.  Eventually it won't be needed.  
Maybe you have a better solution?  A bunch of people do use 
Etherboot on FreeBSD.

| Sorry about that.  Would it be possible to setup the FreeBSD compile

Just enable
	-DELF_IMAGE
	-DAOUT_IMAGE
	-DIMAGE_FREEBSD
	-DFREEBSD_KERNEL_ENV
Might be usefull to define a build target that turns all options
on.  If building on FreeBSD the Makefile turns these on the basic
FreeBSD support automatically.

BTW several FreeBSD users use these options with rom-a-matic to build
FreeBSD boot roms.  So it really doesn't matter what system compiles
Etherboot.
