That's an interesting problem that I don't think was even thought about
when bridge(4) was added to FreeBSD. :-)

Ivy, we should talk about how to err, "reconfigure" things in /etc/rc.conf
appropriately, as I /think/ the tftp boot path configures the interface
addressing via kernel APIs, and we'll need to undo it and flip it to a
bridge.
