This needs an installer #8

Is this code from "peach" from about 10 years ago? There was an installer of FreeBSD 9.x that could install over iscsi. I'd like to see this become available again. I work with ipxe a lot.

Yes this is the same code. Writing an installer is out of my wheelhouse but I think you could use the standard install media. Boot up, enter a shell, start iscsid and connect the disk via iscsictl. Exit the shell, do the install, then enter a shell again and install isboot and make sure it loads at boot. Then reboot. Maybe all we need is for someone to try it and document the steps somewhere.
