FreeBSD PXE Installation Environment

This guide aims to show you how to setup a PXE installation environment for FreeBSD that will install multiple versions of FreeBSD. We will be aiming to replicate a simple JumpStart or KickStart environment.

In order to complete this setup you will need:

  • A FreeBSD host to be your installation server - I will be assuming a minimal install.
  • A DHCP Server - I will be using ISC DHCPd in this document and assuming it is on the installation host.
  • A client machine capable of PXE booting.

Note: PXE is a i386/amd64 technology, you will not be able to use this setup with other architectures.
