kfreeBSD d-i (squeeze) usable via PXE and serial console (IPMI)?



Hi

I wanted to play around with a couple of servers to deploy Debian k/freeBSD on 
those but somehow I cannot succeed in booting the images properly. Possibly 
I'm doing something wrong or currently not supported.

on the TFTP side, I use something along this:

kernel kfreebsd.gz
append initrd=kfreebsd-initrd.gz

(also without the .gz for the kernel) much like I do for standard linux 
machines

but PXE shows

(Related question would be after booting a proper image, what kernel arguments 
to use to enable serial console for the installer)

Thanks for any hint!

Cheers
