Installation via TFTP/NFS works for me. I took the files from the
ISO-Image, uncompressed /boot/mfsroot.gz and added
'vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:/dev/md0"' to /boot/loader.conf. IIRC the last
step was/is not really documented.

What type of machine do you have and which error messages are you
getting when netbooting?
