The target system loads pxeboot.bs and consequently requests the
following files:

/boot/boot.4th (which it does not find)
/boot/loader.rc
/boot/loader.4th
/boot/support.4th
/boot/defaults/loader.conf
/boot/device.hints
/boot/loader.conf

It is at this point where the failure occurs.  The contents of loader.conf are:

mfsroot_load="YES"
mfsroot_type="mfs_root"
mfsroot_name="/boot/mfsroot"

Does this seem consistent with what you were theorizing that it's the
kernel that has the problem with vlan tagging and not pxeboot.bs?
